All living things must fight to stay alive. They have to feed on something and at the same time avoid being eaten. Therefore they have to solve this big problem of staying alive in their own way.

The danger of being eaten in the sea is great. Those plants and animals that do survive usually reduce very fast and in great numbers.

Certain sea animals have defensive devices(装置) which help them to survive. The jelly fish have poisonous tentacles (触角) which are used for attack and defence.

Another method of survival which sea plants and animals use is disguise (伪装). They usually have the same color as their surroundings.

When I opened the first “Body Shop” in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn (挣) enough money to feed my children. Today “The Body Shop” is a great company growing fast all around the world.

I have always wanted the people who work for “The Body Shop” to feel the same way.

Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I’d like to think there are no limits to our “family”, no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

Stanley Fields, who wrote “Sad, Sad Cowboy”, which won this year’s Philip’s prize as the best song of the year, might have a very different job if his parents had had their way.

In an interview, Fields said, “When I was a child, my father always told me I should put down my guitar and do my homework. He wanted me to go to college and become a teacher as he and his bother were.”

Fields explained that he made a great effort to please his father, but often his love of music became too great and he would steal into a garden behind his house and play his guitar and make up of songs,.

“I made it to Stanton College,” he laughed, “but I took accounting(会计) instead of teaching. And to pay my own way, I played the guitar and sang at a local nightclub.”

While Fields was still in his senior year (大学四年级), an executive (总裁) of a record company came into the club as he was singing one of the his own songs. The executive liked what he heard and signed the man to a contract (合同).

Since graduating from Stanton College in 1973, Fields spent his full time writing and singing songs. “My Heartache,” a song he wrote while in college, reached number seventeen in the top twenty hit songs of 1974 and in 1977 his song “Rambling” was the song for the movie of the same name.

The first Europeans came to America in 1492 with Christoper Columbus. Since that time people have come to America from all over the world, from Europe, Africa and Asia. And they have brought their music with them. This mixing of people and music has created American music.

Music is very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth. Other remind of the people we love. Many important occasions, like wedding and funerals, have special music. Every nation has a national song like the American “The Star-Spangled Banner”. In the U.S. high school and colleges have school songs too.

Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people. As the years pass, the music grows and changes.

American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”, is known around the world. Music is one of America’s most important exports. It brings the people of the world together, even when people can not understand the same language, they ca n share the same music. Many people learn and practise English by singing songs; understanding American music can help you understand American people, their history and culture.
