1. The connotation of the American DreamThe so-called American Dream has the broad and narrow sense, broad sense refers to the symbolic beauty of the American Dream. the Statue of Liberty Equality country, freedom, and democracy is a narrow believe that in the United States through the efforts of unremitting struggle You will be able to get a better life for you, that is, people must through their own hard work, courage, creativity, and determination to move towards prosperity, rather than rely on specific social class and the assistance of others. Usually this represents success or entrepreneurial spirit of the people in the economy. Many European immigrants hold over the American dream to the United States.in September 16, 1620, "Mayflower" carrying 102 passengers from the United Kingdom to the North American Air Plymouth MaoSiqi create colonies. November 11 that year, "Mayflower" in the United States today anchored in Provincetown, Massachusetts, developed under the auspices of the Puritans on board "" Mayflower "the Convention", signed 41 free adult man on the Convention, then ship to sail, on December 21 reached colonial settlements, which is today Plymouth, Massachusetts. These colonists based on “Mayflower”, “Convention" set up "citizen-government", the provisions of the Convention: "In order to better manage, maintain and develop the local government, in the future, the public interest at any time to develop and fulfill the just laws decrees and administrative, we ensure compliance and obedience. "2.The Origins of the American Dream Historythe "Great significance" Mayflower "Convention" that it laid the foundation for the rule of law in the United States, outlines the general framework legislation. People have not come ashore, we first agreed to build a rule of law in North America rather than the rule of man's social system, according to the will of the majority of the people rather than a few rulers or the will power to manage society. "" Mayflower "Convention" contribution to human civilization can be par 1215, Britain's "Great Charter," 1776 US "Declaration of Independence" and the 1789 French "Declaration of Human Rights." American scholars generally believe that "Declaration of Independence" is the foundation of the American dream, Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the American dream. "All men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This sentence has attracted men and women from around the world came to the United States to achieve their dreams. Various laws after "Declaration of Independence" as the Constitution established the American Dream has provided a guarantee rule of law, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams, a country without a good system, no matter how personal the dream difficult to realize.In American history, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain and countless other politicians, social activists, writers used the "American dream" word. Obama 2008 presidential campaign, one of his best-selling book "The Audacity of Hope: a reaffirmation of the American Dream," inspired many Americans, earned him a lot of votes.3. The Characteristics of the American dream.All kinds of individual American dream dreams pregnant with universality, that is, no matter how you came from, no matter what your background, if you work hard you can achieve your dreams. It is like the American writer Thomas Wolfe (Thomas Wolfe, 1900-1938) American dream explained: "No one, regardless of how he was born, no matter what kind of society he has status, but no matter what he has blessed opportunities . he's right to exist, the right to work, the rightto live from me, have the right according to their own innate and acquired conditions to become the person you want to be. "American Dream of spiritual pursuit far better than the pursuit of material. American historian James Tel Slobodan Adams (James Truslow Adams, 1878-1949) in the "American Epic" (Epic of America) wrote: "The American Dream is far more than substance category, the American dream is to allow individuals to . fully developed, self-realization, "he said:" the American dream is not a car, not a high salary, but a social order, in this order, and all men and women can achieve the maximum that can be achieved on the basis of their quality achievement and social recognition, regardless of his (her) birth, social background and social status.In summary, despite everyone's dream is different, but the American dream in common is the "democracy, freedom and human rights." "Democracy" is a political system, it is the American dream of soil; a country that does not have a good system, that nation can only do "Daydream", any good dream difficult to achieve.4. The way to achieve the American dream."Freedom" is to achieve the American dream the way, reflects the American dream of respect for the individual citizen as well as "people-oriented," the governing ideas; everyone can have their own dreams, you can use your favorite way to realize their dreams; no freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom of procession, of demonstration, freedom to strike, freedom of religion, freedom of communication these freedoms, it is cut off by the dream of a bridge leading to a dream come true. "Human rights" is the American dream content, which includes the right to life, the right to education, the right to work, freedom of movement, the right to vote and to be elected and the right to criticize the government and the pursuit of happiness and the like.Of course, the American Dream is not static, nor is it perfect. Although the United States declared its independence in 1776, but until 1865 was the abolition of slavery until 1870 expressly granted black men the right to vote until 1920 before a predetermined state shall deprive women of the right to vote. At any time of the passage of time, as human self-awareness continues to improve, with the progress of human civilization, people pursue lifestyles and social patterns are changing.Just as the Famous black American civil rights activist Martin Luther King in the speech "I Have a Dream" which revealed the true meaning of the American dream: the American dream in the constitution, the American dream is the implementation of the Constitution, if not formulated constitution implementation , then desecrated the dignity of the Constitution.5. The meaning of social status.Usually it refers to members of the community-based differences in social property, and in social relationships and their relative positions around the rights and obligations of this position is formed.From a sociological theory, the so-called social status refers to any social position have the rights and obligations from the social point of view provides, whether this position is high or low social status of an individual in the system of social relations in which the position, whether this position is a natural formation or the formation of social division of labor needs. Employment is of course an important aspect of social status, social status but not mean employment, social status refers to a person in which the social life position, role and contribution to society. Indeed,to get social status, they must participate in social life, but there are paid to participate in social life and where people are free to participate in two social network location. Usually arranged according to social wealth, prestige, or power level of education and the amount taken. Relations of production is the foundation of all social relations, in a class society, the relations of production determined by the person's class status is a basic human social status. Everyone form a variety of social relations in certain society, they are likely to get a variety of social status. According to different criteria, we can put people's social status is divided into different grades sequences, such as class status, and political stat.6. The characteristics of social status.These social status staggered between each other, it is largely the same, generally can be summarized as ascribed status and is eligible for two types of self-position. The former refers to the innate fixed position, such as hereditary nobility, hereditary slavery, Father and Son and the like. The latter refers to the status acquired through efforts to obtain, such as professors, engineers, factory directors. Sociology attaches great importance to the status of the relationship between a variety of studies. The first is consistent with studies on the status and position contrary. Status means more consistent with the status of individuals have are now at roughly the same level, such as a person both high class status, educational status, occupational status. Social mobility and less hierarchical society, status consistency is strong. Position inconsistent contrary to personal status means a hierarchy of situations in different areas, such as a lower-class status have received a higher education status. Socio-economic status and social prestige status also have inconsistencies. Sociology is also very concerned about the problem of primacy, which refers to a person under circumstances unite inconsistent position, there is one of the most prominent position dominates other status, which determines the level of his overall position. In modern society, professional activities are often one of the most important activities of the main people to pay attention, so it is generally primacy.7. The meaning of social wealth.Social wealth means that workers in the production process created by having people use value of the product of labor; means of production into the community, areas of life has value and valuable substances. Social wealth, including natural resources, labor and product technology products and other forms of knowledge. Use value and value are two fundamental attributes of social wealth.The Meaning of wealth is related to economics. About Wealth economics, there are a variety of names, some call it material wealth, it was called natural wealth, it was called artificial wealth, was also known as wealth; explicitly wealth economics Marx called social wealth. The earliest definition of wealth to Xenophon possession useful to think of the good things, such as horses, sheep, land, and so is wealth. Obviously, this is only the wealth attributed to the use value. After Aristotle more clearly pointed out: "The real wealth is constituted by a useful value." He also said: “wealth is rich material which belongs to the family and the country's processed."8. The different categories of social wealth.In feudal society, the reality-based natural economy, people still insist on causing material wealth is the wealth of view. With commodity currencies economic development, capital relations also began to grow. Due to the large development of foreign trade generated mercantilist school, do not agree with the use value is the wealth of the traditional view that wealth is constituted by the currency or gold and silver. This is clearly understood as the exchangevalue wealth. Late mercantilists proposed dualistic concept of wealth, wealth that is considered both a man of wealth, but also natural wealth. As the seventeenth century Britain Thomas Meng said, the development of foreign trade, and strive to surplus, to make earn "human wealth" "was in the form of cash back to the country." At the same time he said: "Money is the life that trade" argument is wrong, not only because "the world has only a small amount of money in circulation when, had been large-scale trade exchange or replacement of the goods." Britain, France and later mercantilists as Mengkelieqin, also "on the one hand that monetary wealth. on the other hand, he said the country was not rich enough gold and silver, but it was the necessities of life .9.The Physiocrats view of social wealthWith the development of capitalism and the emergence of the Physiocrats, firmly opposed to merely exchange value understood as wealth, and wealth should put great emphasis on use value. They believe that the consumption of non-monetary gold and silver is not real wealth, can only consume pure agricultural products is the real wealth. As Physiocrats Quesnay wrote: "A nation's wealth is not determined by the total amount of monetary wealth"; "wealth is the source of human subsistence." Said: "As a commodity crop of view, is a combination of monetary wealth and physical wealth." Further development of classical economics, but also abandoned the physiocrats view. Its master of Adam Smith, the wealth that is only understood as the value of social wealth, and that is understood as the use-value material wealth. The so-called material wealth, he was referring to enjoy life for the "necessities, conveniences and entertainment products," or is the product of years of productive sectors. Smith's views on wealth have clearly dualistic nature. After the completion of classical economics by Ricardo and Say around Smith's definition of wealth dispute, split on one end of dualism. Say assertion that Smith believed that wealth is only "by the constitution or the value of material objects and not by itself constitute a material object," and asserts that "wealth and value proportional are the same to." Although he insisted Smith's definition of social wealth, it does not agree with Smith's labor theory of value.10. The meaning of the middle class.Generally refers to the middle class economic status, political and social status of cultural point of view, they were in the middle stage of the level of society, which is a seemingly clear, but in reality vague definition. The middle class (or middle class), refers to people of low levels of "physiological needs and security needs" are met, and moderate levels of "emotional needs and esteem needs" has been well met, but not the pursuit of high-level " self-actualization needs "class (or classes); Because the family is the cell of society, and most people's wealth is owned by the family as a unit, so the middle class consists of" middle-class families "component.The Middle class, mostly engaged in mental, physical or technology base, mainly by wages and salaries to make a living, generally well-educated, professional knowledge and strong professional capability and the corresponding family spending power; have some free time, the pursuit of life the quality of its work, the work of the object generally has a certain power and control over the management. At the same time, most of them have good citizenship, civic awareness and appropriate training. In other words, the economic status, political and social status of cultural point of view, they were in the middle stage the level of society.11. The meaning and characteristics of class.The social class is developed to a certain stage of production, namely, the production has been developed yet underdeveloped product. The nature of the class is that it is specific to therelations of production and linked, on the status of the economy in different social groups or community groups. The class is divided into different positions and different relationships forged by people who live in a specific socio-economic structure of the decision. Divided according to the number of people owning property: by the rich class, middle class and poor class composition. After being diluted class theory, Chinese social circles with social class instead of class this term.Class features: class is an economic category. Class is an economic category, the first refers to the class of human society is a certain community of social production system formed in the possession of relations of production is the most essential characteristics of the class, the rest of the features are derived from this essential feature , this is the inherent nature of class prescriptive.Class is a historical category. Human society is not never had class, "the existence of classes is only a certain historical stage of development of production linked" with the productivity of both the development of certain development but not fully appropriate to the circumstances.。

Now when we get to our findings I thought we could divide them up into the different zoneswe identified on the shore and the problems organisms face in each zone.So for the highest area.....The splash zone?Yeah, we found mostly those tiny shellfish that have strong hard shells that act as protection.But not from other organisms that might eat them, predators?No, that's not the main danger for them.But the shells prevent them from drying out because they're in the open air for most of the time. Right. And since they're exposed, they need to be able to find some sort of shelter,or cover themselves up, so they don't get too hot.Then in the middle and lower zones, nearer the sea, we need to discuss the effects of wave action...Yes, and how organisms develop structures to prevent themselves from being swept away,or even destroyed by being smashed against the rocks.I haven't done anything on the geological changes. I don't know what to put for that.No, we weren't concentrating on that. Maybe we need to find some websites.Good idea. I've got the lecture notes from Mr. Blake's geology course, but they're too general. But we could ask him which books on our Reading List might be most helpful.Right. OK, now I did a draft of the section of sources of possible error in our research,but I don't know if you agree.For example, the size of the sample, and whether it's big enough to make any general conclusions from.But I thought actually we did have quite a big sample.We did. And our general method of observation seemed quite reliable.But we might not be all that accurate as far as the actual numbers go.Yeah, we might have missed some organisms —if they were hiding under a rock for example.I wasn't sure about the way we described their habitats.I decided it was probably OK.Yeah, and the descriptions we gave of the smaller organisms, they weren't very detailed,but they were adequate in this context.I'm not sure we identified all the species correctly though.OK, we'd better mention that. Now, how we...S4We've been discussing the factors the architect has to consider when designing domestic buildings.I'm going to move on now to consider the design of public buildings,and I'll illustrate this by referring to the new Taylor Concert Hall that's recently been completed here in the city.So, as with a domestic building, when designing a public building, an architect needs to consider the function of the buildingfor example, is it to be used primarily for entertainment, or for education, or for administration? The second thing the architect needs to think about is the context of the building,this includes its physical location obviously but it also includes the social meaning of the building, how it relates to the people it's built for.And finally for important public buildings,the architect may also be looking for a central symbolic idea on which to base the design,a sort of metaphor for the building and the way in which it is used.Let's look at the new Taylor Concert Hall in relation to these ideas.The location chosen was a site in a run-down district that has been ignored in previous redevelopment plans.It was occupied by a factory that had been empty for some years.The whole area was some distance from the high-rise office blocks of the central business district and shopping centre,but it was only one kilometre from the ring road.The site itself was bordered to the north by a canalwhich had once been used by boats bringing in raw materials when the area was used for manufacturing.The architect chosen for the project was Tom Harrison.He found the main design challenge was the location of the site in an area that had no neighbouring buildings of any importance.To reflect the fact that the significance of the building in this quite run-down location was as yet unknown,he decided to create a building centred around the idea of a mystery--something whose meaning still has to be discovered.So how was this reflected in the design of the building?Well, Harrison decided to create pedestrian access to the building and to make use of the presence of water on the site.As people approach the entrance they therefore have to cross over abridge.He wanted to give people a feeling of suspense as they see the building first from a distance, and then close-up,and the initial impression he wanted to create from the shape of the building as a whole was that of a box.The first side that people see, the southern wall, is just a high, flat wall uninterrupted by any windows.This might sound off-putting, but it supports Harrison's concept of the buildingthat the person approaching is intrigued and wonders what will be inside.And this flat wall also has another purpose.At night-time projectors are switched on and it functions as a huge screen onto which images are projected.PART 2The auditorium itself seats 1500 people.The floor's supported by ten massive pads.These are constructed from rubber,and so are able to absorb any vibrations from outside and prevent them from affecting the auditorium.The walls are made of several layers of honey-coloured wood, all sourced from local beech trees. In order to improve the acoustic properties of the auditorium and to amplify the sound,they are not straight, they are curved.The acoustics are also adjustable according to the size of orchestra and the type of music being played.In order to achieve this, there are nine movable panels in the ceiling above the orchestra which are all individually motorized,and the walls also have curtains which can be opened or closed to change the acoustics.The reaction of the public to the new building has generally been positive.However the evaluation of some critics has been less enthusiastic.In spite of Harrison's efforts to use local materials they criticise the style of the design as being international rather than local,and say it doesn't reflect features of the landscape or society for which it is built.剑桥雅思听力11原文(test3)SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-6Choose the correct letter, A, B or C.Free activities in the Burnham areaExampleThe caller wants to find out about events onA 27 June.B 28

His mum was expecting twins and they needed another bedroom."I don't mind sharing mine, “Franklin said."Babies cry all night.""I'll wear earplugs."But his parents wouldn't listen."This house is TOO small, “said his mum.Next day, there was a “for Sale “sign stuck by Franklin's door.Franklin and his best friend Josh stared at the words of doom."What am I going to do,Josh"said Franklin.Josh frowned. “Has your house got problems?Number forty's got problems and no one wants to buy it."Franklin stared at number forty.It looked all right to him."What kind of problems"he asked."Oh,mice and damp and really horrible wallpaperFranklin sighed. His house was warm and friendly and it had just been painted,worse luck.Mrs cox lived next door to Franklin in a little house that had once been the corner shop.Just then,she called out,"Hello,lads.Will you take..."Before she could finish,her dog Zack leaped out of her house.He jumped up at the boys,trying to lick their faces."Yuk!Down,Zack!"Josh giggled.Mrs Cox told Zack to get down."He hasn't been out all day.I've been a bit wobbly,"she said,tapping her legs."No worries,"Franklin smiled.He didn't mind taking Zack anywhere.He loved him to bits."I'm sorry you're moving,"Mrs. Cox said."So am I,"Franklin grumbled.Mrs. Cox patted Franklin on the arm."Never mind.Your house might take months to sell."For a week,it looked as if Mrs Cox was right.Only a few people came to look at the house and none of them wanted to buy it.Franklin's mum stroked her growing tummy and looked fed up.Upstairs,Franklin danced around with his underpants on his head in celebration.Maybe he wassafe.Maybe no one would buy his house.But a few days later_it must have been Thursday,because the smells from the pie factory were chicken and rhubarb Franklin came home from school to find a man in the kitchen.His name was Mr Bragg and was interested in buying the house.Mr Bragg wasn't interested in Franklin.He glared at Franklin and trod on his toes, without saying sorry. Franklin's heart sank when Mr Bragg said he wanted to come back for a second visit."Saturday morning,ten o'clock sharp,"he said.2 Franklin makes a planThat night,Franklin had a bad dream.Mr Bragg was sniggering at him,"You wait and see,boy.I'm going to have your house!"Then Franklin woke up."No,you won't,you tatty toe-cruncher! “he said angrily.At school,Franklin asked Josh what he was doing on Saturday.Josh shrugged. “Nothing much.""Does your big sister still work in the fish shop"asked Franklin.Josh nodded."Good.Listen,I've got a job for you..."Franklin cupped his hand over Josh's ear and began whispering his plan.When Josh heard what Franklin wanted,his mouth opened wide enough to swallow a dentist. "I can't do that!"he cried."I'll get into trouble!""You have to!It's my only chance,"Franklin begged.In the end,Josh nodded.He wasn't happy,but he agreed to do what Franklin wanted.3Something is fishyOn Saturday morning,Franklin's mum was in a flap. "Something smells horrible and I don't know what it is,"she said.She looked around in a panic."Your dad's outside checking the drains."Franklin smiled. He know what the smell was!Mr. and Mrs. Gates were still outside when Mr. Bragg rang the doorbell. Franklin let him into the houseMr Bragg stopped and sniffed the air."Ugh,what's that disgusting smell"he asked."It's Saturday.The factory does fish pie on Saturdays,"Franklin said.Mr Bragg frowned. “Isn’t the factory shut on Saturda ys""No.Fish every Saturday.That's why we call this Stinky Street.D'you want to see my bedroom" Upstairs,Franklin opened his bedroom door.Mr Bragg pointed to a huge,dark patch on the wall."What's that"he asked."Damp,"Franklin said."Mum made me cover it with a poster last time.""Hmm,"Mr Bragg snorted."Mind the mouse poo,"Franklin grinned,pointing to a pile of brown lumps."It gets stuck in the carpet.""Urgh!"Mr Bragg pulled a face."That's nothing,"smiled Franklin."Wait till you see what the rats do."At that moment,his mum arrived,"Hello,"she smiled."How's it doing""Your son was telling me about the rats,"Mr Bragg said,icily."Rats?What rats...""Oh,no!"Franklin yelled,pointing out of the window."What is it"asked Mr Bragg."That horrible Josh Barratt's coming!Quick!Hide!'yelled Franklin."Hide from Josh?Don't be silly,"Franklin's mum said.But Franklin ducked behind his curtains."Josh is a lovely boy!"Franklin's mum said, amazed.But Josh banged on the front door.He shouted football songs.He even burped through the letterbox. "Why you little..."Mr. Bragg gasped as Josh ran off."Er...would you like to see the bathroom"Mrs Gates asked,but Mr Bragg shocked his head."You're joking.I'm not staying here another minute."He ran downstairs and out of the door.4Mrs Cox joins inMr and Mrs Gates were very angry."You'd better explain what’s going on!"they told Franklin."Er...well...I-"Just then,there was a loud banging."It's coming from Mrs. Cox's house,"Franklin’s mum said, glaring at her s on."Fancy getting an old lady mixed up in this!""I didn't,"Franklin cried."I really didn't!"The banging grew louder and louder.Then Zack started barking.Something was very wrong.Mr. abd Mrs. Gates and Franklin dashed into Mrs. Cox's house.She was lying by her stairs,where she had tripped.Franklin helped his dad lift her carefully onto a chair.Mr Gates wanted to take her to hospital but Mrs. Cox wouuldn't go."I'm not leaving Zack," she said.So they rang her son Eric,and he came to help her.Mrs Cox was still in big trouble.He ran back home and took the fish out of the back of the radiator.(Josh's sister had given it to him.)He vacuumed up the chocolate drops on the carpet in his bedroom.Then he dried the lemonade on his bedroom wall.He said sorry to Josh for getting him into trouble,too.At last,he said sorry to his mum and dad.His mum was very upset."We know you love Stanley Street.We all do-""-But there won't be space for all of us,when the twins arrive,"his dad said firmly."We have got to move to a bigger house.""I know,"Franklin said,sadly.Weeks passed but no one came to look at the house.Winter was coming and Franklin began to feel hospital.Nobody wanted to move in winter,did they?But one day,Franklin came home from school to find creepy Mr Bragg in the kitchen again.He'd found out about Franklin's tricks and he still wanted their house."Those Gates have got to move,"Mr Bragg said to himself."I'll get their house cheap!"He smiled slyly and gave Franklin's mum a piece of paper with a price on it.It was a very low price."Let me know tomorrow if I can buy it,"Mr Bragg smirked."Make up your mind.No one else wants it." "We'll think about it,"Mrs Gates said,going pale."Do we have to sell to HIM"Franklin cried as soon as he'd gone."I expect so,"said his mum.Franklin was furious.How could his mum and dad sell to Mr Bragg?Even the delicious smell of lamb and bananas coming from the pie factory didn't help."I'm going to take Zack for a run,"Franklin said."A long run.To Scotland.""Oh,dear."said his mum.Mrs Cox took ages to answer the door.She was even slower on her feet since her fall.‘I was coming round to your house!”Mre Cox beamed.’Is your mum in I’ve got something to ask her.’‘Yes,’ said Franklin. He wasTrying to stop being licked to bits by Zack.‘Bring him back by tea time ,’. Mrs Cox called as he set off with the dog.‘ I will ‘ Franklin said.‘I was talking to Zack’,Mrs Cox joked.When Franklin came back, Mrs Cox was just leaving his house. ‘How was Scotland ‘she joked. "Cold, “said Franklin, crossly.Mrs Cox laughed as if he'd cracked the funniest joke ever."You'd better get inside and warmup,then,"she told him,grinning.Franklin felt grumpy."I don't know why Mrs Cox thinks moving house is so funny..."He stopped.His mum was dancing round the room with-yes-underpants on her head!"What's going on"he asked."Wait and see!"she laughted.It was Christmas time in Stanley Street.There was no "For Sale"sign outside Franklin'shouse.Instead,there were piles of bricks and cement from the builders."That was a great idea of Mrs Cox's,"Josh said."You bought her house and knocked both of your houses together-""-So we had one big house,"grinned Franklin."Then the old corner shop downstairs was made into a little flat for Mrs Cox and Zack.Now you get lots of bedrooms upstairs...""...and Mrs Cox and Zack get a safe place downstairs.""So everybody'shappy.""Except Mr. Bragg, “Franklin grinned. “He’s bought number forty!"。

Chinese culture stands for much more than Little Apple

Little Apple, the latest Chinese “god song” (an Internet term to describe pop songs that go viral on the Internet) is still stirring fierce debate between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as bad for China’s image.
On Sunday, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award. The duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.
But while fans of these singers are hailing the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA gala as significant, there are others who are less enthused. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture’s “going abroad”, claiming it may leave
foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese contemporary culture.
Actually the Little Apple phenomenon, both domestically and internationally, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective.
The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote them and their work, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo’s film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.
From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grassroots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China’s major video website.
Although, the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as musical “junk food”, Little Apple’s domestic popularity paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.
Besides performing at the AMA gala, the duo has also cooperated with the popular South Korean girl group Tara on a Korean version of the song.
Also the AMA’s awards are generally decided by public votes, which means they are regarded as a leading commercial indicator of the US pop music market.。
