Music is an international language. Popular music in America is what every student likes.
Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and
at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly when they drive
streets. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio when they drive to work. They also listen to the News about sports, the weather, politics（政治）, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.  
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state(州). Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Whenever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It has stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music, such as the symphonies（協(xié)奏曲） of Beethoven.

Today more and more people are using refrigerators. Some are big, others are small. Big ones have two or three doors. Such refrigerators can not only keep the food cold and fresh, but also make ice and freeze the food. However, small ones usually have one door and can only keep things cold and fresh.
There are also refrigerators that are friendly to the environment. In the 1970s, the world was in energy crisis(危機). Refrigerators use too much energy. So people began to think of ways to improve it . At last a kind of new refrigerator was made. They use very little energy, but they’re too expensive. They cost twice or three times more than the ones that we use at home. However, people believe they will be cheaper and cheaper. As a result, they will be more and more popular.
In the future, there will be refrigerators that can do more than we can imagine. They are called smart refrigerators(智能冰箱) . They have tiny computers inside, with their screens on the door. They can show us what food is inside. They can also tell us what food to buy.They can even let us know what food to eat when we input the necessary health information. The more surprising thing is that they can do shopping for us when they are connected(連接) to the supermarket.
小題1:Small refrigerators can not only keep the food cold but also freeze the food.　
小題2:Refrigerators that use very little energy are more expensive.
小題3:Friendly refrigerators will be popular some day.
小題4:Refrigerators that keep the food fresh are smart refrigerators.

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. And they can even drive a car.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music and they play it in their own rooms. They help us in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighbourhood, no clubs, and no sports.”
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and makes them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations but I can’t get a part- time job because older people always think I’ m lazy.”
