         Music has always been an important part of Chinese people's life. People enjoy 1 music at home and in concert halls. As time goes by, music changes.

         Traditional music is part of our culture. It often stays  with us for a long time. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes 2. Modern Chinese music, which is loved by many young people, however, is 3 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.

         Music could only be heard live (直播) 4  radio and TV were invented — that is,  you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very 5 , so it was difficult and often  6 to hear really good music. For most people, the best 7 to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today, people hear music 8 .

         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 the9 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 10 and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go, but nothing changes our love for good music.
