However, in the last ten years, when many different kinds of music have established themselves on t
2、he pop scene, more and more stars have come from other countries. Pop music changes all the time and new stars appear and become famous. Many of todays stars started out in the 1960s and have changed their music to suit the time. Although most stars take many years to become famous, their fame does
3、not usually last long. For a musician to stay popular and still produce good, original music over a long period of time, is a sign of true star. Most stars start their careers in a simple way - playing in unknown nightclubs or dance halls where people want to dance to the music, not listen to it. Th
4、ey may have continued doing this for many years until they get a break - a chance to perform in a well-known place or get a recording contract. To become a star is the aim of every singer or musician and the dream of many a pop-crazy teenager. However a group or star makes it to the top, they can be
5、 sure that their lives will change once they are successful. Ordinary teenagers living at home with their parents may suddenly find themselves rich enough to buy their own houses. An established superstar may be able to buy several. Despite the large amounts of money that are earned, life at the top
6、 is not easy for many stars. The pop scene is hard work and many stars need to spend a lot of time away from home. For a lot of them, this means they have no home life and their personal relationships suffer. In spite of great public success, life at the top can be very lonely. 高校英语四级听力美文2 The Impor
7、tance of Developing Attitudes Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. The burnt child fears the fire is one instance; another is the rise of figures like Hitler. Both
8、 these examples also point up the fact that attitudes come from experience. In the one case the experience is direct and impressive, in the other it is indirect and gradual. The class room teacher in the elementary school is in strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because c
9、hildren acquire attitudes from those adults whose words theyrespect. Another reason why it is true is that pupils often search somewhat deeply into a subject inschool that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to thembefore. To a child who had previously acquired little k
10、nowledge of Mexico, his teachers method ofhandling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans. The teacher can develop proper attitudes through social studies, science matters, the veryatmosphere of the classroom, etc. However, when children come to school with undesirable attitud
11、es, it is unwise to attempt tochange their feelings by criticizing them. The teacher can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experience. To illustrate, first-grade pupils, afraid of policemen will probably change their attitudes after aclassroom talk with the neighborhood o
12、fficer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, researchand all-day trips. Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate his own attitudes, because his influence can beharmful if he has personal prejudices. This is
13、especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions of which children shouldbe encouraged to reach their own conclusion as result of objective analysis of all the facts. 高校英语四级听力美文3 Computers: Are They Easier to Use ? Heres my simple test for a product of todays technology: I go to the
14、bookstore and check theshelves for remedial books. The more books there are, the more my suspicions are raised. If computers and computer programs are getting easier to use, why are so many companies stillmaking a nice living publishing books on how to use them? Computers manipulate information, but
15、 information is invisible. Theres nothing to see or touch. The programmer decides what you see on the screen. Computers dont have knobs like old radios. They dont have buttons, not real buttons. Instead, more and more programs display pictures of buttons, moving even further intoabstraction and arbi
16、trariness. I like computers, but I hope they will disappear, that they will seem as stranger to ourdescendants as the technologies of our grandparents appear to us. Todays computers are indeed getting easier to us, but look where they started: so difficult thatalmost any improvement was welcome. Com
17、puters have the power to allow people within a company, across a nation or even aroundthe world to work together. But this power will be wasted if tomorrows computers arent designed around the needs andcapabilities of the human beings who must use them a people-centered philosophy, in otherwords. Th
18、is means retooling computers to cope with human strengths, observing, communicating andinnovating instead of asking people to conform to the unnatural behavior computers demand. That just leads to error. Many of todays machines try to do too much. When a complicated work processor attempts to double
19、 as a desktop pulsing program or akitchen appliance come with half a dozen attachments, the product is bound to be awkwardand burdensome. My favorite example of a technological product on just the right scale is an electronic dictionary. It can be made smaller, lighter and far easier to use than a p
20、rint version, not only givingmeanings but even pronouncing the words. Todays electronic dictionaries, with their tiny keys and barely legible displays, are primitive butthey are on the right track. 看过高校英语四级听力美文的相关学问的人还看了： 1.高校英语四级美文朗读 2.英语四级听力美文原文 3.适合高校四级的英语美文 4.英语四级美文听力原文 5.关于英语四级听力美文 6.英语四级中长篇听力美文 第 6 页 共 6 页
