Good morning．The program today is about music．The word \comes from the Greek word \．The Muses are the goddesses of the arts．Music is only one of the arts．It is like the spoken language，but it uses sounds．Today's program brings together music from different corners of the world．Who invented music? Who sang the first song? No one knows exactly the answers to these questions．But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone's life．Babies and young children love to hear people singing to them．When they are a little older，they like to sing the songs they have heard．When children go to school，their world of music grows．In the middle grades students take music lessons．When they reach high school，they become interested in listening to pop music．

The records we have chosen for you today are from American country music，Indian music，pop music and so on．Music has meaning for everyone．It can make people happy or it can make them sad．In this program we shall study the language of music．We shall be trying to find out more about how music works．We shall try to find out how music says what people feel．

Hi，everyone．I'm Yao Ming．I left China for the first time in 1997 to go to the Nick camp in Paris．That's where I met my first NBA star，Tim Hardaway，who was one of the camp counselors(顾问)．He looked like the rest of us — two hands，two legs，one head — but he was quicker than anybody I'd ever seen，especially the way he played with the ball．His footwork，his hands — move quickly．He would challenge everyone to play one-on-one until he was too tired to move an amendment．I don't remember who the best player in camp was because I didn't know what good basketball was then．There were eighty-five players at the camp，and I wore number 85．I wasn't worried about how good Hardaway was because at that time I was just thinking I'd play in the Chinese Basketball Association(CBA)．I didn't think I'd see anyone like Hardaway again．

The trip to Paris made a big impression on me．I was there for only six days，but I learned a lot — not just about basketball，but maybe about myself and my place in the world of basketball．I found out there were a lot of great players outside
