just ask the wellknown american opera(歌剧)star carol vaness.at the metropolitan opera in new york city where she often sings, carols voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people.it must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when shes singing softly.the reason carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.“when you breathe, its like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater, ” carol explains.“you have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”according to carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out.regular singing is more like speaking, and its a lot softer.when i sing for children, theyre often surprised by how the vibrations strike their earslike waves on a beach, ” carol says.“in opera, the air doesnt just go out of your mouthit vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when its played.”ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, carol has loved music.as she got older, she decided to become a music teacher.when she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies.her voice teacher discovered that nineteenyearold carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voicethe highest singing voice for women.carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama.opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them.the stories of opera can be tragic or comical.they can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago.as the characters in an opera sing, the emotions(情感)expressed by words and music come to life.today, carol performs throughout the united states and europe and she has sung for almost twenty years.but she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.“put_your_heart_into_your_singing and enjoy it, ” says carol, “because singing is a great joy.thats why i sing.in fact, thats why everybody sings.”31according to the passage, the metropolitan opera in new york city _.ais a fivestory building bcan seat 4, 000 peoplechas no microphones in itdcan project the singers voice32what is the best title for this passage?aopera singing and pop singing bthe way an opera star singscan opera star dsinging without a microphone33which statement is true?aa pop singers lungs are usually stronger than those of an opera singers.bthe author has the idea that opera singing is more like speaking.ca pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.dan opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.34from the passage you can conclude all the following except that_.acarol once learned to play the pianobcarol worked as a music teacherccarol has been singing opera for 20 years or sodcarol is popular with americans and europeansbafter graduation i returned home to my small town in indiana. i didnt have a job yet. mr. hobbs, a friend of my fathers, owned a small shirt factory in town. within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. mr. hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a shortterm basis as a consultant. i went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. i was really amazed at what i saw.most curious of all, there was no quality control at all. no one inspected the final product of the factory. as a result, some of the shirts that were put into boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, and even a sleeve sometimes!the working conditions were poor. the tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. there was no music. the walls of the workrooms were in a dull gray color. i was amazed that the workers hadnt gone on strike.furthermore, the work flow was irregular. there was one especially absentminded young man in the assembly(组装)line who sewed on buttons. after a while i recognized him as “big jim”， who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. he was very slow and all the shirts were held up at his position. workers beyond him
