“For years, we played other people’s songs,” says lead singer Zhu Wen. “But now we play mostly our own songs. We’ve had a few songs in the top ten, but we really hope to have a number one hit some day.”
Good luck to the New Ocean Waves. They’re off to a great start. And they’re really nice people. Did you know that they gave half of the money they made to a charity for homeless children?

On page 114 is an unfinished review about Apple Ice Cream. Read it and plete it using information from 2b, with as many “ Present perfect with already and yet” structures as possible.
Apple Ice Cream is a music band. They have written their own original songs although they used to sing songs by other people. They have won the best new group of the year last month although they have not made a music video yet. They have had their own concert. Actually they have had six concerts of their own. They have not been on TV. But they have already talked to “Bands on Parade” about doing a TV show next month.
3c Writing about a band
What’s your favorite band?
Now write a review of the band you like best.
A big band, also known as a jazz orchestra, is a large musical ensemble that plays jazz music, especially swing.
The band is divided up into a number of sections, by instrument; each section usually has four or more members. All bands usually have a rhythm section, made up of drum set, bass, piano, and possibly guitar. There are also sections for trumpets, trombones, and saxophones (who sometimes double on flute or clari).
Big Band was popular from the late 1920s to the early 1950s.

Closing down by listening jazz music
A jazz band is a musical ensemble that plays jazz music. Jazz bands usually consist of a rhythm section and a horn section.
The rhythm section of a jazz band consists of the drums, bass, and usually at least one instrument capable of playing chords, such as a piano or guitar. The rhythm section is the foundation for the band; it sets the feel for the piece.
The horn section consists of wind instruments, which play the melody and main aompaniment. Typical horns found in a big jazz band include 4 trumpets, saxophones (2 altos, 2 tenors, and a baritone), and 4 trombones and a bass trombone. The saxophones may also double on flute and clari and the trumpets on flugelhorn.

Read the song words and listen to the song called:
《Moon river》
Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Old dream maker, your heart breaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friends
Moon river and me
Reading: He’s already visited the place where his ancestors lived.
Before you read, listen to the recording, for the forms and for the meanings.
While you read, circle the “ Present perfect with already and yet” structure, underline the expressions and blacken the connectives.
Have you been back to the place where your ancestors lived, worked, studied and played? Robert Qian, a Chinese Canadian, already has. Now in China, he has found that his family is like a tall tree with long roots.
Robert is just one young overseas Chinese who has e to visit his ancestors’ homeland, as part of the In Search of Roots summer camp program. The program is anized by the local government of Guangdong Province. This program started in 1980, and so far has brought thousands of overseas Chinese students to China to look for their families’ roots. The young people are usually between 16 and 25 years old. Most, like Robert, can hardly speak any Chinese, and have never been to China before.
The students mainly visit parts of Guangdong Province in southern China. During the two-week camp, they study Chinese culture, see changes that have happened in that area, and visit interesting sights. Going to their ancestors’ village is often the most exciting part of the trip. The students feel that they are part of the village, and experience village life. They drink from the village well, go for walks through the countryside, and watch the villagers do their daily activities.
Cathy Qin, a young American student, had this to say, “Thanks to In Search of Roots, I am beginning to understand my Chinese roots, and who I am. It has been a great trip, and I have so many memories of China to take with me.”

I. What is music?
Music is the art of making sound by human voice or special musical instruments like violin, oboe, trumpet, drum and so on.

In music, sounds are arranged in time to give a pleasing result. There are many different kinds of music.

Music is written using note symbols on a staff, which is a group of horizontal lines. The line which a note is written on shows what pitch it is. The notes are separated into measures using vertical lines on the staff.
II. What is a song?
A song is a piece of music which has words in. Old Macdonald had a Farm is a song.

Songs can be made in many ways. Some people form bands which write and record songs to make money from it. Other songs are folk songs, which are songs created by people long ago and have been sung as tradition in many countries. Some people also make parodies of songs, which is changing the words of the song but keeping the tune. Parodies are usually made to make fun of a song or it's writer/singer.
III. Origins and Characteristics
Chinese music can be traced back as far as the third millennium B.C. Manuscripts and instruments from the early periods of its history are not extant, however, because in 212 B.C., Shih Huang-ti of the Ch'in dynasty caused all the books and instruments to be destroyed and the practice of music to be stopped. Certain outlines of ancient Chinese music have nevertheless been ascertained. Of primary significance is the fact that the music and philosophy of China have always been inseparably bound; musical theory and form have been invariably symbolic in nature and remarkably stable through the ages. Ancient Chinese hymns were slow and solemn and were aompanied by very large orchestras. Chamber music was also highly developed. Chinese opera originated in the 14th cent. as a serious and refined art.
