Art is sometimes divided into two kinds, high art and popular art. High art attracts a much smaller population than popular art，but the number is large and growing. People who enjoy high art go to the opera and symphony concerts ； they read serious books and go to serious plays ； they keep up with art exhibitions. Popular art is mainly a kind of amusement. Some TV programs are meant to be watched today and forgotten tomorrow. Many popular songs are hits for a few weeks ； then they disappear. Other songs remain popular for such a long time that they become classics. The line between high and popular art is not always clear，however.

Following the success of S. H. E and Twins, another girl band . has arrived on the music scene. Eighteen-year-old Singaporean twin sisters Yumi and Miko Bai create the magic in the band BY2.
The pair recently released(发行)their second album, Twins.
With great voices and dance moves to match, the cute (漂亮的) sisters have won the hearts of many fans since their first album NC-16 came out last year.
At a young age，the sisters began to learn ballet dancing and the violin. When a music company wanted to work with them, the girls had to leave their home and parents to go to Taiwan for training.
Miko and Yumi dropped out of school to focus on their music. This decision caused a hot debate in Singapore. Some people said that their mother was using her daughters to make money. But their father, who died of cancer when they were 15 years old, had encouraged the girls to work hard to make their dreams come true.
The girls felt lonely in Taiwan when they first arrived. “ We celebrated our birthday in Taiwan without any family and friends，” Yumi said. “ We cut our birthday cake ourselves. ”
The girls faced many challenges. “We had to learn Mandarin. Also, it was a killer to dance in high heels, ” said the twins，who had to do so in their music videos.
However，they are glad that they entered the entertainment scene at an early age. “ When we are younger, we learn things faster and can gain more experience, ” Yumi said.

The pair went to Taiwan to __________.

Why did their dropping out of school cause a hot debate?

Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin-makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins. But they aren't the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.
Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violinmakers used in their varnish.
The passage is about __________.

Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violins maybe __________.

Which statement is WRONG?

Have you ever wondered what kind of music the kids across the Pacific Ocean are listening to? Are they crazy about Britney Spears? Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance to Eminem?
Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teens & Music study, conducted by USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the results show what type of music is hot and what is not. It comes as no surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s, with young black kids in New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip-hop and rap are well-known for the break-dancing (霹雳舞)that goes with them.
The word “rap”comes from a 1960s slang(俚语)word for conversation. It is a rapid, slangy rhyme that is spoken rather than sung.
Eminem is among the most popular rappers ever to hit the US. His first album “ The Marshall Mathers LP” topped the American music charts in May 2000. Although about a third of teens in the US showed their support for him，almost as many said that his music was so boring that they couldn't listen to it.
Compared with Eminem，actor rapper Will Smith is more of a star for the kids. He was awarded the Wannabe Award, on April 12 at Nickelodeon's 16th Annual Kids' Choice Awards. It is an award given to a celebrity whom kids most want to be.
Pop music，such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always suited the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support among teens and is the second most popular after rap.
The third is rock—music with excited dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s. American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world-famous rock artists.
The study also showed that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the latter part of the 19th century from a mixture of African work songs and hymns. Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get old.
Which is the best title of the passage?

__________ is the right order which are popular among the teens in the US according to the passage.

Which statement is NOT right according to the passage?

Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
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 as they drive on the street.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics ，and activities of the American people.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, ail 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 tells 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 life and the love between a 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 of Beethoven. There is opera for singers. There is ballet (芭蕾舞剧)for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.
What can we know about music and people in America?

How many kinds of music are mentioned in the passage?
