    Country music is very old. It came from the United States, Canada, Ireland and Great Britain. It is a
mixture (混合物) of music from all of these places.
    In the west of America, cowboys had to take care of the cattle (牛). They had to watch them all day
and all night because the cattle were nervous and sometimes ran away. A cowboy's life was lonely and
dangerous. When he was alone in the desert with the cattle, he drank strong coffee to make himself

       I raised the garage door wider to help the moth to escape from the garage.  However, it tried to fly
higher and farther from the door and got trapped（困）in a spider's web. Worrying that the beautiful
moth would become a spider's dinner,  I picked up a broom to help it fight against the spider's web.

his wings hard and ran into the glass.  But no matter how hard “tried”, the moth remained in the cage
of the garage.
