UNESCO (

17、United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow

18、 older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. Its Jason Morans job to help change that. As the Kennedy Centers artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. Jazz seems like its not

19、really a part of the American appetite, Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. Its actually color, and its actually digital. Moran says one of

20、the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. The music cant be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same, says Moran. Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats

21、 Wallers music for a dance party, Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music, says Moran. For me, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans gaining any insight (感悟) on how to talk about ourselves an

22、d how something abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context, says Moran, So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.24. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as Inte

25、he best title for the text? A. Exploring the Future of JazzB. The Rise and Fall of Jazz C. The Story of a Jazz MusicianD. Celebrating the Jazz DayCHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we mi

26、ght soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself c

27、rying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had, known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to

28、come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what

29、I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to the hard times.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I

30、 wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually

31、go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.28.

The author believes that .A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps trying DFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations

34、and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true fe

35、elings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that A

36、mericans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt

37、to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of fac

When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness becau

The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural h
