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 sit-down, the patience. And to learn to play an instrument, it takes patience, it takes diligence, 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. 1.Whats the job of West and Jernigan at school?

D.The enjoyable job of two music lovers.When Liz Elting, 44, one of the owners of TransPerfect, a translation company, started her business 18 years ago with Phil Shawe, both were attending New York Universitys Stern School of business. They never realized just how many situations would require their services. “We have translated black box data after planes crashed,” says Elting. “Translating Hooked on Phonics into eight languages was especially challenging because we were doing sounds, not words!”Elting had once worked for a translation company and she knew how important it was to get things rightlike the instructions for medical devices. Ad companies, too, needed accurate translations that took cultural differences into account. She and Shawe were certain that if they delivered a quick, reliable service, they could build an international business that would stand out.They started their business in Shawes dormitory room. While Shawe finished his MBA, Elting employed some linguists（语言学家） and made hundreds of cold calls to seek clients（客户）. One of their first jobs was to translate an 800-page study research of a Russian gold mine in 30 days. Once the partners were out of survival mode, they hired people to help grow the company and told them to run their area as if it were their own business. “If they did well,” says Elting, “they owned that success.”Elting and Shawe paid themselves 9,000 a year each. Their ambition, however, at times threatened the companys growth. In 2008, a client promised 15 million in businessmore than double than their earnings. They opened an office in Miami, but when the Internet suffered its burst, Shawe says, “The client pulled out. Today we get money up front; we share risk. Commonsense things.”TransPerfects 4,000 linguists cover more than 100 languages. Last year, the company had earnings of 225 million; the average annual growth rate is 30 percent. Elting and Shawe still work together. “Phil is good at developing systems and creative sales ideas,” says Elting. “I focus on operations and making sure that our clients are happy.”With more than 1,100 employees, and offices in 57 cities in 18 countries on four continents, they still focus on the details. They keep an exact list of client preferences: soda or soft drink, sofa or couch. Even now, at the top of the worlds largest privately held language company, Elting refuses to be complacent and would prefer a slightly different translation: “We want to be the worlds premier language company.”5.From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that TransPerfect .A.prefers accuracy to speedB.has a broader range of clientsC.specializes in translating difficult documentsD.thinks highly of clients special requirements6.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means Elting and Shawe .A.couldnt solve the survival problem of their companyB.neednt worry about the survival of their companyC.went out to seek new clients for their companys survival7.According to the passage, Elting and Shawe get along well in their business because they .A.trust each other in businessB.share the same ambition and goalC.complement（补充） each other in businessD.are both responsible for their common business8.The underlined word “complacent” in the last paragraph means .A.proud B.stubbornC.self-critical D.self-satisfied.短文改错Dear Tom, Im very happy to hearing from you.
