Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events - love， sadness， good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds in the way people really talk. As life becomes hard for us， it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

    　Country music， sometimes called country-western music， comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars， and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.

 At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II， thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
    Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada， in small towns and among towns and in New York City， among black and white， and among educated and uneducated people. About 1200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English， and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.

For most Americans， life without a car is hard to imagine. However， society has realized the serious air pollution problem caused by cars. The polluted air becomes poisonous(有毒的) to our health.

One way to get rid of(摆脱) the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several large companies have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress is this field has been slow.

Another way is to replace the car engine(发动机) with something. Now inventors are working on steam(蒸汽) cars as well as electric cars. Many car makers believe that it will take years to develop a useful model that pleases people.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars， we make some changes in the way we live. Americans， for example， have to reduce(减少) the number of their total cars. They should be encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle.

But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers might find themselves without jobs if a car factory is closed. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).

 Although cars have led(引导) us to better lives， they have also brought us new problems.

1. A car is very important for most Americans.

2. Building a clean car is not difficult.

3. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to replace the car engine.

4. The writer thinks that the problem of air pollution is more important that that of unemployment.

Many years ago， there was a man. He had a cat and loved it very much. He decided to call it Sky. One day， a friend said to him， ”Let me tell you that there is something stronger than the sky. I mean the clouds， for they cover the sky.” ”You are right.” answered the man， ”And now I‘m going to give my cat the name ‘Cloud’”.
    Two days later， another man was having supper with him at his house. “Why do you call cat Cloud? The wind blows away the cloud without difficulty.” So the man changed its name again. It was then called Wind.
    But a week had not passed when his neighbor noticed this quite beautiful cat. He said， “Wind seems to be the worst name. Even a wall can stop the wind. Wall seems to be better.” So the cat was called Wall. But a teacher said that a wall was not stronger than a mouse. The man had to change the name again. Just then the man‘s son came in. “Mouse!” he shouted. “What a foolish name! I know something much stronger than a mouse. Everyone knows that a cat catches the mouse and eats it.
