Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available(可得的) to human being. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the players as they play it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live.

This guide focuses(聚焦) on classic music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classic music can have a special excitement. Hearing classic music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic(浪漫的). It can be spiritual(心靈的).

Classical music concerts can seem like snobby(高傲的) affairs full of foreign terms and unusual behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on . It can be hard to know how to act. But don’t worry. Concerts are no stranger than any other amusement(消遣), and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than the stock market, football, or system software programs.

If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been confused(困惑的) by concerts, this guide will explain, so you can relax and enjoy the music.

“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology(技術(shù)). High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention (發(fā)明) or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.

What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite(衛(wèi)星). A modern manufacturing (制造業(yè)的) system is surely high tech.

High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products(產(chǎn)品) in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens (微波爐), etc. “State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible.

A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.

“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.

Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution(革命). Every computer company claimed (聲稱) that its computers were “state of the art”.
