But the world knew him better as Ray Charles. He had an influence on American popular music. The song Let's Go Get Stoned is an example of Ray Charles' own kind of music—his own sound. He worked hard for several years to create that sound. No one ever tried it before. He mixed black church music, blues and rock 'n' roll. The sound was extremely successful. In the nineteen fifties, his records began to sell millions of copies. At the same time, Ray Charles recorded jazz music. Those records sold well, too. People said they were new and exciting.Ray Charles became famous because he could play blues, rock and jazz. He also liked other kinds of music. He told the record company officials that he wanted to record an album (专辑) of country- and -western music.The president of the record company told him it would be a mistake. He said Ray's fans would not buy the album. Charles disagreed. He said he believed he would gain many new fans to replace the few he might lose. He produced the album and it was an immediate success.The album was called Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. Many of the songs sold very well. One of the most popular songs was I Can't Stop Loving You. It is a country-and-western song with Ray Charles' sound of blues and black church music.（1）Ray Charles became popular with Americans because ________.A. he mixed black church music, blues and rock 'n' rollB. he worked hard to create his own soundC. he recorded Jazz musicD. he could play blues（2）Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement (成就) for him. He suffered from a disease as a child, and so he walks with the help of two walking sticks.The audience (观众) sat quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair and begins his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings (弦) on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the team to begin again.Of course, anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.When he finished, there was a breathtaking silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled and said—not proudly, but in a quiet attitude—“You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the meaning of life—not just for artists but for all of us.So, perhaps our task in this fast- changing, puzzling world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.（1）What made Itzhak Perlman's performance at the concert special on November 18, 1995?A. He just recovered from a serious illness.B. He was late for the stage.C. He had a quarrel with the audience.D.

They were moved by his disease.C. They laughed at his action.D. They wanted to relax.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. When you lose the most important thingB. How can you give it up easily?C. Playing a violin with three stringsD. Playing a violin to yourself四、改错题假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
