24、   Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells reallife stories and sounds the way people really talk, as life becomes more complicated(复杂的)it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
