Nashville,Tennessee is already known to many Americans as Music City,which is famous for country music in the United States and is home to many recording companies.But recently,music recorded for video games,television shows and movies has earned Nashville a new name:Soundtrack(原聲音樂)City.
   The city is known for very good studio musicians.They work mostly on recordings rather than live performances.Musicians in Nashville have helped to make the soundtracks for some of the most popular video games in the US.These include "Madden", "FIFA", "Call of Duty" and "Star Wars".
   Also,more production companies have been bringing their film and TV soundtrack recordings to Nashville,including Netflix,Sony and Focus Features.A program the state of Tennessee established last year gives financial support to companies for doing business in the city.
   "Nashville has become one of the major places in the world to record for films,games and television," Steve Schnur told the Associated Press.He is president of music for Electronic Arts(EA),a video game company.In the past,Schnur worked for MTV and music production companies such as Arista.He also worked as a music supervisor on films before joining EA.For a long time,EA recorded soundtracks for their games with orchestras,or large groups of musicians,in Los Angeles,London and Eastern Europe.That changed about seven years ago when Schnur came to Nashville to record music for a game called "Dragon Age Inquisition".
   "I work with the musicians in Nashville now.They are both fast and skilled," Schnur added.This proved true even on complex songs written by well-known composers such as Hans Zimmer,Lorne Balfe,Jeff Russo and John Debney.The music of video games is often very important to the gameplay in creating both emotion and attachment to the storyline.Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award-winning film "Green Book".He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for "Madden NFL 20".

  • 3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
       I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
       One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
       I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
       The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
       I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
       I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
       "They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
       The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
       That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

    (1)Where may the boy live according to the passage?

    A.In an orphanage.

    (2)What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?

    A.D-
    B.E

    (3)The underlined word "tucked" in the passage most probably means "
    ".

    D.hid
    (4)The reason why the boy remembers Mr.Young is that
    .
