wn. Today, we are going to hear Several current hits of the world's most popular artists.

Well, at the beginning, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.

Because many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but have a vast library of "golden oldish" Classics, as well as the "latest releases".

If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs--so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised if the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago...

听力原文：By the end of the 1980s, U2 had established itself not only as one of the world's

听力原文： By the end of the 1980s, U2 had established itself not only as one of the world's most popular bands but also as one of the most innovative. The members are Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. The band members were attending a Dublin secondary school when they began rehearsing in spite of their lack of technical expertise. The band's early records were characterized by an intense spirituality, and they commented on social and political issues, with compassion and tenderness.

The group became renowned for its inspirational live performances before it made much of an impact on the pop charts. But with the multimillion-selling success of The Joshua Tree album and the number one hits With or Without You and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, U2 became pop stars.

On Rattle and Hum, the bend explored American roots music—blues, country, and folk—with typical earnestness, but were ridiculed by some critics who found the project shallow.

U2 reinvented itself for the new decade, reemerging in 1991 with the album Achtung Baby and a sound heavily influenced by European experimental, electronic, and disco music. However, despite the flashy exterior, the band's lyrics remained obsessed with matters of the soul. In 2000, U2 released the aptly entitled (All That You Can't Leave Behind), which combined the elements of the band's earlier music.

(23)

A．Intense spirituality.

B．Inspirational live performance.

C．Innovativeness.

D．Influenced by European disco music.
