Упр.1 Unit 1 ГДЗ English Михеева 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 11 класс, Просвещение: Music — along with drama and dance — is one of the per-I forming arts. Its history runs further into the past than writ-» ten language, but because it was not written down or recorded, nearly all music is lost to us. Today music is everywhere. So it was many centuries ago. > Did you ever walk in a forest and suddenly come upon a little brook bubbling merrily along its path? Didn’t it sound like music? When the rain pitter-patters against a roof, or a bird sings heartily — aren’t these like music? When man first began to notice his surroundings, there was a kind of music already there. And then when he wanted to express great joy, when he wanted to jump and shout and somehow express what he felt, he felt music in his being, perhaps before he was able to express it. Eventually man learned to sing, and this was the first man-made music. What do you think would be the first thing man would want to express in his song? Yes, the happiness of love. The first songs ever sung were love songs. On the other hand, when man was face to face with death which brought him fear, he expressed this, too, in a different kind of song, a kind of dirge1 or chant. Now we can’t imagine our lives without music. No special knowledge is required to listen to music, but much study is required to become a performer. All great musicians combined talent and hard work to become really famous. 1 Answer the questions. 1. What role does music play in your life? 2. Music is one of the fine arts.
