When something goes wrong with an instrument, Charles West and Larry Jernigan do the repairs. Both men approach their work with a passion(激情). For them, its important that students have a joyful experience with music.The two have worked together for almost 20 years. This year alone, theyve fixed about 450 instruments. Both men are musicians and music lovers, so learning to do repairs came naturally.“I have been a musician all my life，” says West. “I played in an orchestra here in the city. I majored in music in college. I played in an army band.”Jernigans musical interests are varied. “I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar. The alto sax and the flute, I picked up while working here.”In addition to fixing instruments, the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own.West believes if children start early and stay involved with music, it enriches other areas of their lives.“I see that in other kids. I see it in myself. I have seen it hundreds of times and it works，” he says. “They learn teamwork. They learn patience and respect.”But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age.“This instant age has taken away from the sitdown, the patience. And to learn to play an instrument, it takes patience, it takes diligence and it takes time.”Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job. Both men agree their best rewards are the students performances.1Whats the job of West and Jernigan at school?ATeaching music.BWriting music.CMaking musical instruments.DRepairing musical instruments.2They love the job because they can_.Aearn more moneyBlearn repair skillsCenjoy musicDwatch performances3Which of the following is TRUE of the two men?AThey have fixed 450 instruments in the past 20 years.BThey can play and repair musical instruments.CJernigan used to play in an army band.DWest was trained to play the piano.4According to West, what can people learn from music?ATeamwork and patience.BThe value of time.CThe truth of society.DDiligence and confidence.5What is mainly talked about in the text?AHow to repair musical instruments.BLearning experience of two repairmen.CHow to prepare a musical performance.DThe enjoyable job of two music lovers.BWhats your favorite type of music? Most people may prefer rock and roll, pop or jazz. These types are most publicized by television and the radio. Country music now would seem to mistakenly belong to the category of rock or pop. Publicity of this category started to drop only after the year 2000, however, it did have its peak years just before the decline(衰落)What people may not know is that this type of music inspired(促成)rock and roll especially with one of the most important figures in music historyElvis Presley who is known as the “King of Rock and Roll”. Elvis used to be very famous at a radio program which broadcast country music back in the late 1940s. Country is also influenced by jazz and blues. Rock music too is influenced by jazz and blues but is also heavily influenced by country so that they may even seem similar.Nowadays, country is closely related to pop due to artists preference and popular demand. Starting from the 1980s, it slowly divided itself into New and Old Country Music. Legends like Johnny Cash began to slip away because the new perception(理解)of country actually contains pop and his music just doesnt fit the category. Fortunately, country music is still heavily promoted through websites and reviews.Certain types of music nowadays are linked with different age groups. Classical for the people in the mid 19th century, pop in the 1920s, and then theres country. All these types continue to grow and modernize while still appealing to certain age groups. More modern country music tends to become different in their own ways which makes it even harder to identify them as country while, again, remain appealing only to certain age groups. Active promoters of country music videos, however, seem to appeal to a large number of age groups especially those active in Australia. For as long as country isnt mixed with other types, it will eventually regain(重新获得)its charm as music for all ages.6It can be learned from the first paragraph that country music_.Ais most publicized by television and the radioBused to be liked by more people compared to jazzChas become less popular since the year 2000Dshould be included in the category of rock or pop7What is the relationship between rock music and country music?ABoth types influenced the formation of rock and roll.BPresley turned pop music into country music.CThey are both influenced by jazz and blues.DThe use of the same instruments makes them sound similar.8Some legends of country music began to slip away because_.Atheir songs totally changed the style of country musicBthey began to work on pop music for more profitsCthere is no marketing space for country music anymoreDthey cant meet the popular demands on country music9What does the underlined word “promoted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?ACriticized.
