Unit 5 Music【美文阅读】 音乐是人类最美丽的语言让我们一起走近不同的音乐表现形式吧！MusicThere are two important kinds of music in the world—one is written down and the other is not.Many people earn their living by writing music.They write songs for pop stars and music for films and TV plays.They usually write exact instructions(指示；说明)how the music is to be played.Folk music has been passed down from one generation to another.At first it was never written down.People learnt the songs from their families，relatives(亲戚；亲属)，neighbors and friends in the same village.These songs were about country life, the seasons，animals and plants，and about love and sadness in people's lives.Early performers used to learn hundreds of songs by heart.At festivals they used to act and sing in praise of heroes who lived long ago.This was at a time when there was no radio，TV or cinema.Many of the country people could neither read nor write.In this way stories were passed on from one person to another.This contin－ues in some countries even today.In some parts of the world nowadays，you often see musicians performing in the streets to passers－by(过路人)．They put a cap on the ground in front of them，so that people who like the music can drop coins into it.In Africa most music is folk music.It plays an important part in people's lives，especially at festivals and weddings，when people dance all night long.Indian music is not written down.There is a basic pattern(模式)of notes which the musicians follow.But a lot of modern music is also written.India produces more films than any other country in the world.It produces musicals(音乐喜剧)，too，that is，films with music，and millions of records are sold every year.Jazz was born in the USA around 1890.It came from work songs sung by black people and had its roots in Africa.Jazz started developing in the 1920s in the southern states.Soon it was played by white musicians，too，and reached other parts of the USA.【诱思导学】 1．How did early performers learn the song? 2．What kind of music is mentioned in the passage? 【答案】 1.They learn hundreds of songs by heart.2．Folk music，Indian music and Jazz.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，理解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。
