The latest Chinese "god song" (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally (病毒性地) through Internet) is still stirring fierce debate between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as bad for China's im?age.
Last week,Little Apple,written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers,won the AMA International Song Award andthe duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer,Zhang Jie,won the International Artist Award.
But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the perform?ance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration as significant,there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture's "going abroad", claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music,and even Chinese culture.
The Little Apple phenomenon,both home and abroad,can be more easily un?derstood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultur?al perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their work,not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duos film Old Boys:The Way of the Dragon.
From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song,which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm,easy-to-remember lyrics,simple and funny dance and,most importantly,grass roots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China's major video website.
Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criti?cized it as musical "junk food",Little Apple's popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.
1. The writer's attitude to the song of Little Apple is .
A. opposed B. negative
C. objective D. critical

A. Little Apple

A. Little Apple's popularity is also a success of marketing strategy
B. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMA

A An environmental poem can take the form of any poem type,but the content of an environmental poem is the same regardless of struc?ture. All environmental poems have the environment at their core. Though the subject matter may seem limited,there are many ways a poet can present the material to make it interesting. Writing an effective environ?mental poem requires nothing more than a creative imagination and an interest in expounding upon our natural surroundings.
Choose a topic. You can write about saving the world as a whole,but try to narrow the subjects of your poems down to individual issues within the broad spec?trum of the environment. This is not only a good way to enlarge your use of the ma?terial at your disposal,but it can often produce poetic material you may not touch upon when you deal with the broad topic. Jot down words about the environment in a notebook. Include a list of adjectives that might work for what you have in mind.
Write the first line that comes to mind having to do with the environmental subject you chose. Refer to your notes to spark the idea. Four effective opening lines might be something like:
Release the rains Though they are black With the toxic waste Of man's foolishness Think about the opening stanza and ask yourself where you're going with it. The poem may set itself up for free form. Consider making structural and rhyme scheme decisions based upon the environmental content of the poem. Is there a way to use rhythm and metre to improve your message?
Use analogy,metaphor (隱喻) ,and word play to give your environmental poem some literary weight. Try something like this:
Tsunami tides wave goodbye As they move in and leave Again Using the word "wave" is a play on words.
Read poems about the environment. One of the best ways to learn to write any type of poetry is to read the work of poets. The more you read and build an ear for rhyme and metre,the better you will be able to develop your own work.
