Careful Reading
Read paragraph 1 and fill in the blanks about Sarah.
When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US.

Music plays a very important part in our daily life. It belongs to everybody. If you are unhappy, music will make you happy. If you are happy, music will make you happier.
Music is the medicine of the breaking heart.
--- Leigh Hunt

When I was young
I’d listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I’d sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.
Yesterday Once More(昨日重現(xiàn))
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they’re starting to sing. So fine.
When they get to the part
Where he’s breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more.
Thank you

鄉(xiāng)村音樂(Country music)，
又稱“鄉(xiāng)村與西部音樂”
(Country and Western),是
當(dāng)代音樂的一種風(fēng)格形式。
此音樂風(fēng)格于70年代在世界各地得以快速普及，受到廣大青年的歡迎，并由“鄉(xiāng)村音樂”逐步取代了“鄉(xiāng)村與西部音樂”的稱法。鄉(xiāng)村音樂的曲調(diào)，一般都很流暢、動(dòng)聽，曲式結(jié)構(gòu)也比較簡(jiǎn)單，多為歌謠體、二部曲式或三部曲式。
美國(guó)著名的鄉(xiāng)村歌手包括約翰· 丹佛(John Denver)、肯尼· 羅杰斯(Kenny Rogers)、加思· 布魯克斯(Garth Brooks)等。
