The level of public interest in Obamas tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politicians tie is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more. Policies of tiesIt may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive. In the UK and many other countries around the world, conservative (保守的 ) politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one. In America, the colors go the other way round. The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue. But in spite of this, Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color. What they meanAccording to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle. com, in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance. “A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red, ” Haver says. Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties. But what about blue? According to Haver, “Blue is a softer colorLook at the sky. Its peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”Selecting the right tie for the right occasionPerfect job interview tiePerhaps no other tiewearing occasion is as important as the job interview. Gilchrist, the fashion expert, advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one. Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns. An excellent color is burgundy(深红色) or another serious color. Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity. Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors. A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone. Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs. Datenight tieWhen picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than pattern. According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the image of a “stable, faithful, constant, always there” person. So what is the worst color to wear on a date? “ Flattened caterpillar (毛虫) yellowgreen, ” according to Gilchrist, “ it will repel both sexes equally.”16Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration?ABecause they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies. BBecause they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion. CBecause they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.DBecause they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama. 17What can we infer about Bush, the former president, from the passage?AHe was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power. BHe was a Republican when he served as president. CHe wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors. DHe wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore. 18The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to _. Aprove that color reflects peoples feelings to a certain degreeBshow that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive tiesCtell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everythingDexplain that red is a popular color, especially with businessmen19Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?ATies can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress. BDo choose ties carefully before dating, because it is the most important occasion. CWhy to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they dont match the atmosphere. DThe more colorful the tie is, the more likely youll get the job you want. BWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先)This view is shortsighted.In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it comes from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society. Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore emotive(情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other.They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more neces
