1 "Love Story" is a song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Like most of Swift's songs, this was based on a real experience. As a teenager, she had an argument with her parents over a boy - they thought he was a creep, and Taylor thought it was love. She told 60 Minutes that he was, indeed, a creep, but she thought he was amazing at the time. The pre-chorus of the song came into her head: "You were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet.'" She grabbed her guitar and worked out the chords on her bedroom floor. 2 Taylor added that the song was met with indifference from her record company and her parents, but she fought for it, which she says was a fun experience because she had something to prove. 3 This could be about Swift's relationship with Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, who she dated for much of 2008. The line "Romeo, take me some place we can be alone" relates to how they were never alone due to their popularity. "I sneak out to the garden" is symbolic of how they had to sneak around to have dates due to the paparazzi. 4 The song also talks about Swift's father and his objection to Joe, but Taylor ignored her father's advice and continued to date him until their breakup in October. 5 Swift won video of the year and female video of the year at the 2009 Country Music Television awards for this song's promo. On winning the latter award Swift said, "This is for everybody who still believes in love stories, because I do." This passage mainly talks about a famous song by Taylor Swift. What aspect of the song do you think it mainly addresses?
A、Melody.
B、Rhythm.
C、Lyrics.
D、Structure.

1 “Vincent” is a folk song by American singer-songwriter Don McLean written as a tribute to Vincent van Gogh. It is also known by its opening line, “Starry Starry Night”, a reference to Van Gogh's painting The Starry Night. The song also describes different paintings done by the artist. It was created on the 100th anniversary of the midpoint of Van Gogh’s life. 2 Van Gogh painted “Starry Night” after committing himself to an asylum in 1889. He wrote that night was "more richly colored than the day," but he couldn't go outside to see the stars when he was committed, so he painted the night sky from memory. 3 The lyrics, "Paint your palette blue and gray" reflect the prominent colors of the painting, and are probably a reference to Vincent's habit of sucking on or biting his paintbrushes while he worked. The "ragged men in ragged clothes" and "how you tried to set them free" refer to Van Gogh's humanitarian activities and love of the socially outcast as also reflected in his paintings and drawings. "They would not listen/They did not know how" refers to Van Gogh's family and some associates who were critical of his kindness to "the wretched." "How you suffered for your sanity" refers to the schizophrenic disorder from which Van Gogh suffered. 4 McLean wrote the lyrics in 1971 after reading a book about the life of the artist. McLean told The Daily Telegraph February 24, 2010 the story of this song: "In the autumn of 1970 I had a job singing in the school system, playing my guitar in classrooms. I was sitting on the veranda one morning, reading a biography of Van Gogh, and suddenly I knew I had to write a song arguing that he wasn't crazy. He had an illness and so did his brother Theo. This makes it different, in my mind, to the garden variety of 'crazy' – because he was rejected by a woman [as was commonly thought]. So I sat down with a print of Starry Night and wrote the lyrics out on a paper bag." 5 McLean was going through a dark period when he wrote this song. He explained to The Daily Telegraph: "I was in a bad marriage that was torturing me. I was tortured. I wasn't as badly off as Vincent was, but I wasn't thrilled, let's put it that way." 6 The following year, the song became the number one hit in the UK Singles Chart and No. 12 in the US. Coincidentally, it spent 12 weeks on the HOT 100. In the US, "Vincent" also peaked at number two on the Easy Listening chart. Billboard ranked it as the No. 94 song for 1972. 7 Talking about the song on the UK show Songbook, McLean said: "It was inspired by a book. And it said that it was written by Vincent's brother, Theo. So what caused the idea to percolate in my head was, first of all, what a beautiful idea for a piece of music. Secondly, I could set the record straight, basically, he wasn't crazy. Regarding the writing of (Starry, Starry Night) , according to this passage, which of the following is NOT right?
A、This song, and Van Gogh's painting, reflect what it's like to be misunderstood.
B、The song Vincent was completed within a very short time and was written on a paper bag.
C、In the following year of this song being released, it was more popular in US than it was in UK.
D、Van Gogh was not appreciated until after his death, and his struggles to be understood were something many musicians also felt, including a young Don McLean.
That started me thinking of other pleasures that cost nothing or very lime and that are often taken for granted, like a drink of cold water on a hot day when you're really thirsty, or a warm relaxing bath when you're extremely tired or mentally exhausted,
Remember your first real kiss—can you put a price tag on that? Or the companionship of a faithful and loving pet, or the clean, fresh smell of mountain air? There's an old song, "The Best Things in Life Are Free".
Did you ever eat a meal that not only filled your stomach and satisfied all your tastes, but refreshed your soul? Ever spend a winter's evening in the company of good friends?
What could be better than listening to your favorite music or watching a good movie? Or sharing the beauty of a sunset with a loved one? These are quite delightful and delicate pleasures. I hope this doesn't sound too ridiculous in today's rough, loud world. I hope the new generation can appreciate some of these things.
