Hello, Lingling!

I also want to k 4 why Chinese music always sounds so r 5 and calm to me. Do you have any recommendations for different types of Chinese music I can listen to? The school h 6 will come soon. Perhaps, over the holidays, I can learn a lot more about Chinese m 7 .
I have s 8 lessons in Physics and Chemistry already. I'm really excited because I love these s 9 .
I'm looking forward to h 10 from you!

六、阅读理解。（2025·江苏无锡月考）
Can you think of a day without music? We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world like music. They listen to music. They dance to music, and they learn to play musical instruments.
Music isn't only a combination(结合体）of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects(反映）life. There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. Folk music appeared long ago, but it is still live. Folk songs are very pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat.
Britain has produced more popular music stars than any other country. British groups often set new trends in music. New styles, groups and singers continue to appear. Many of the new bands have been able to use changes in technology to develop their music, such as computerized drum machines and other electronic instruments.
People's musical interests differ from pop and rock music to classical music and opera. My favourite style of music is pop music because it is full of energy. When I listen to pop music, it makes me remember happy times. The music I hate is heavy metal. I find it noisy. When I listen to classical music, it brings pictures of dark days to my mind.
Music attracts our hearts. Music is beauty in sounds; it is our magic of inspiration.
