Pop music, perhaps due to its increasing commercialisation, is often criticized for being entertaining while lacking serious musical value and artistic significance. This is typically attributed by critics to record companies' financial gains being placed above artistic considerations, by hand-picking the artists and songs that will have a broad appeal and maximum profits. Sometimes, in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example, young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience. A consequence of this increasingly common commercialisation is that genres which attain credibility as styles in their own right are often considered ‘independent’ instead of 'pop'. Those musicians, as well as their fans, sometimes strive to separate themselves from the commercial aspect of current pop music.

Bruxism is the term for grinding or clenching your teeth. It comes from the Greek word 'brychein' (say: bry-ken), which means to grind the teeth. Bruxism can happen during the day, but it usually happens when you are asleep. Most of the times you don't even know you're doing it! It can happen to kids who still have all their baby teeth or kids whose permanent teeth are starting to grow in. Dentists don't know for sure why some people grind their teeth, but they think it may have something to do with a person's bite - which means the way the top and bottom teeth fit together. Stress also may be behind bruxism. Have you ever worried about a test at school, something a bully said to you, or moving to a new town? Your body can react to these nervous feelings and fears in different ways, like grinding or clenching your teeth. Many kids gnash their teeth at some time or another. Most of the time, it doesn't cause any pain or damage to your teeth. But if you share a room, you could drive your brother or sister nuts with the sound! In serious cases, night time grinding can wear down tooth enamel (the hard covering on your teeth) and cause jaw problems and pain. But these problems usually happen to grown-ups.
According to the passage, bruxism ____.
A) has a soothing effect on children
B) happens when one is nervous
C) is an action done unconsciously

A songwriter is someone who writes the lyrics to songs, the musical composition or melody to songs, or both. That is to say, a songwriter is a ‘lyricist’, a composer, or both. The word 'songwriter' is however more commonly used these days to describe one who writes popular songs for others to perform than to describe a writer of art songs.
