江苏省盐城市盐都区西片2017届九年级下学期英语开学学情检测试卷
Music has always been an important part of Chinese people's life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by, music changes.
Traditional music is part of our culture, so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music, which is loved by many young people, however, is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today's musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.
Before radio and TV were invented, music could only be heard live — that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy, so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people, the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today, people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street.
One thing that hasn't changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.
Music, traditional or modern, Chinese or international, seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go, but nothing changes our love for good music.

Next you will have a Chinese folk music class in the music room. I'm sure you'll like a piece of music named Erquan Yingyue. Then our art teacher will teach you how to make Chinese paper cutting. The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about Chinese history. They are very beautiful. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck. In the afternoon, you will watch a movie called Monkey. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West, which was written by Wu Cheng'en. I think you will like it.
