Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.

The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing structure (句法結構) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more about things that were usual for everyone.

Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.

My father was lame(瘸的) and very short. I was very shy to be seen with my father when I was growing up. When we walked together, he used to put his hand on my arm for balance, and people would stop to watch us. So I didn’t like to go out with him. Sometimes my mother left our town to see her sister, and I had to helphim instead of my mother. I didn’t say much as we went along. As we started out, he always said, “You can walk fast. And I can keep up with you.”

We usually walk to the subway, by which he went to work. He went to work though he was sick or it was bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and could get to the office on time even if others could not. When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk even with other person’s help. At such times my sister or I would pull him across the streets on a child’s sleigh(雪橇) to the subway entrance.

When I think of it now, I am surprised how much courage(勇氣) he had to make his way to the office. I never heard my father complain about it. Now he has been gone many years, but I think of him often. I really want to tell him how sorry I feel for it and how deeply I love him.

Once upon a time there was a baby eagle. He lived in the nest on a cliff (懸崖), overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals. The nest was the whole world to him. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view. And even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. The baby eagle grew strong and he felt good all the time.

But one day, the mother came back home and said,“Eat this, and it’s your last meal,” she said. The baby cried, but he ate and thought about what had happened. Just then, surprisingly, the mother pushed him out of the nest. He fell, head first, faster ad faster. He screamed. “I’m dying!” he cried. He looked up at his mother, “How could you do this to me?” He looked down. The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. “This is unfair!” he screamed.

Something strange happened. The air caught behind his wings and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn’t moving towards the ground any more, and his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

“Huh?” he said,“ What is going on here?”

“You’re flying,” his mother said.

“This is fun!” laughed the baby eagle, as he soared (翱翔) and dived.

“Yes, it is!”said the mother.
