1 “Imagine” is a song co-written and performed by English musician John Lennon. The best-selling single of his solo career, its lyrics encourage the listener to imagine a world at peace without the barriers of borders or the divisions of religion and nationality and to consider the possibility that the whole of humanity would live unattached to material possessions. Lennon hoped that the softer and beautiful melody would bring the song to a wider audience, who hopefully would listen to his message. 2 Lennon later felt that this song should have been a Lennon/Ono (Lennon’s wife, a Japanese) collaboration. Shortly before his death, Lennon said that much of the song’s “lyric and content” came from his wife Yoko Ono, and in 2017, she received a co-writing credit. He got the initial idea from Yoko’s book Grapefruit, which is a book of instructions, with things like “Imagine the sky crying...” or “Imagine you're a cloud.” 3 Some people have wondered if Lennon included a message in the video for this song as well. In the video, Lennon is dressed as a cowboy and Yoko Ono is dressed as an Indian squaw. 4 Lennon wrote this on a brown Steinway upright piano. In 2000, George Michael paid over $2 million for the piano that Lennon wrote this on, and then returned it to the Beatles museum in Liverpool. John’s piano has since been “on tour” to various world locations promoting peace. 5 This was not released as a single in the UK until 1975, when it hit #6. Shortly after Lennon’s death in 1980, it was re-released in the UK and hit #1. It was replaced at #1 by Lennon’s “Woman,” marking the first time an artist replaced himself on top of the UK According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?

Coal mine accidents are frequently headline makers in China, offering a plentiful supply of long lists of the dead. Before this, five major coal mine accidents since January have already claimed lives of 287 coal miners. Once an accident happens, the safety measures are scrutinized, officials and owners responsible are punished or warned or fined. But the accidents keep happening time and again. The background of this endless disaster is a country thirsty for energy to satisfy the appetite of its economic engine. With the rich reserve (储存) of coal and relatively limited petroleum (石油) reserve, the former makes up 67.12 percent of energy consumption. By contrast, petroleum and natural gas take about 60 percent of the energy consumption in other countries. Such a situation is unlikely to change within a foreseeable future because the country still counts heavily on coal for more and more energy. If no measures with great effects are taken to improve the safety in the mines, the accidents will remain a long-term headache for China. Digging coal underground is, by its nature, a dangerous job. No equipment can guarantee 100 percent safety for the miners working underground because numerous uncertainties exist. Most of China's coal mines are far from being mechanized. The average output of coal for each Chinese coal miner every day is 1 ton, while the number in the US coal mines, where the production is highly mechanized, is 40 tons. Mechanized production in coal mines can cut down the number of miners who have to work on the dangerous coal face. It can also enhance the capability of the mines to detect potential danger. In this way mine accidents will be decreased. Admittedly, the mechanized production demands financial support. But what is the price of a life, or a dozen, a score-a hundred? Compare these awful figures with the misery they bring, heavy investment is worthy. |
