But if that is the case, then ask your daughter or son, and perhaps, they"d even perform it for you. Indeed, Snap Music is one of the cool hip hop rap styles that support hip hop music. In simple words, Snap
Music is the music to which you "snap (捻着手指发劈啪声) your fingers and move with the rhythm.
This may seem relatively easy, but sure enough, it has its share of uniqueness which makes it stand apart.
The theoretical and technical characteristics of Snap Music are slow-paced beats, regular and timed
snapping of fingers, which created pleasing rhythms. Often as rappers rap, they get the audience clapping
or snapping along with them.
Snap Music was from Atlanta. It gradually made its way to the other parts of America. It is generally
believed that Snap was inspired by Crunk Music and it is Atlanta"s Crunk style. But they are quite
different. While Crunk has high energy, Snap has an unhurried feel to it . An occasional whistle
or a polyrhythmic (多节奏的) combination can he heard; this is done to improve the feeling of the music. It is
also said that the music was made for the club-crowd and at first was meant for dance lovers; but as the
form developed, it turned out to be rather slow.
There is a wide audience for this type of music. Here , this type of hip hop music is often simple with
not much depth or story. But then again, how many rap songs have depths and story these days? So , if
you are a teenager or a young adult, you might just enjoy the change that Snap offers.

| Easter(复活节) is still a great day for worship, randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies. And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures arc having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US. Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer - it lives on the islands! - but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely. The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down. American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the firs" of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher ground - but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can"t go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up. The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations. Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed. All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter. | |||

| A. show the importance of Easter Day B. introduce the issue about bunnies C. remind people of Easter traditions D. discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies | |||

| The Cathedral of Augsburg in the Bavarian region of German is credited with the world"s oldest stained glass windows from the 12th century. Originally constructed in the 9th century, this Romanesque style church is a short 40-mile drive north of Munich. These windows are typically found in churches and were first made for this purpose. Natural light is used to light the stained glass window in order to help tell the story described by the church. The illustrations (图示) on each window appear to be alive with the natural light which is result of God"s symbolic presence. Each design told a story from the Bible or of an important individual in history in pictures, rather than words since most people could not read. Visitors who wanted to learn more about the exciting story being told in the stained glass window could ask the guide of monks for more details. The Renaissance (文艺复兴)which began in the late 13th century saw the usage of stained glass windows expand from churches to other public buildings. However, many of the medieval (中世纪) era windows were removed during the 18th century as they were viewed to be old and replaced with painted glass. The former half of the 19th century saw the Gothic Revival movement in England where artists made new bathroom stained glass windows in the medieval style for new Gothic buildings. These Gothic works were used to decorate churches by replacing the simple painted glass ornamental windows that had crept into churches. John LaFarge and Louis Comfort Tiffany took the lead in the American glass movement in the late 19th century, when they made stained glass windows . LaFarge and Tiffany were American painters, who worked independently at first and then competed with each other. Harvard University"s Memorial Hall, Boston"s Trinity Church, and New York City"s Judson Memorial Church are some of Lafarge"s most famous works. In 1879, it was Tiffany who became a leading figure within the American glass movement. Today, stained glass is used in homes as an accent for windows not only for light, but to match artwork that allows light to shine through. Some will even hang a frame of stained glass on a blank wall for decoration. As history has shown, the usage of these works has developed from just churches to public buildings and then to private homes. | |||

| A. in the 12th century in Italy B. in the 9th century in Germany C. in the 12th century in Germany D. in the 9th century in Italy | |||
| 2. What was the purpose of using the illustration on church windows to tell stories? | |||
| A. To show God"s presence. B. To help people understand them. C. To add the beauty of the church. D. To attract visitors . | |||
| 3. What is the RIGHT time order of the following events? a. Tiffany became a leading figure within the American glass movement. b. Stained glass windows expanded to more public buildings. c. Gothic works were used to decorate churches. d. The Cathedral of Augsburg was constructed. e. Painted glass was used first. | |||

| I paid a visit to Cambridge last January. Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit. The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived, which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting, one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, "Either you get off or sit down. "To him, safety is the first policy. Cambridge consists of nearly thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s. The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year. Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops, pubs, and supermarkets, but most of it is university-colleges, departments, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks and churches, making these as well part of the university. With over 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break, better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions, carrying students from one college or lecture room to another. 1. The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________ A. bad weather B. unexpected stops of the bus C. one passenger D. an accident on the way 2. Why is Cambridge called a university town? A. It has 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates. B. There are nearly thirty colleges in the town. C. All the students and staff live in the town. D. The university and town are fully combined. 3. It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take________as their first means of transport. A. boats B. cars C. bicycles D. buses | |||
