favorite singers When you listen they can make you happy or sad peaceful or angry They can make you relax or want to get up and dance Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways emotionally physically and mentally But becoming a great singer isn t as easy as listening to one It takes practice devotion and strong lungs Just ask the well known American opera 歌剧 star Carol Vaness At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings Carol s 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 she s singing softly The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes When you breathe it s 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 it s a lot softer When I sing for children they re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears like waves on a beach Carol says In opera the air doesn t just go out of your mouth it vibrates in your chest the way a guitar vibrates when it s 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 nineteen year old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice the 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 That s why I sing In fact that s why everybody sings 31 According to the passage the Metropolitan Opera in New York City A is a five story building B can seat 4 000 people C has no microphones in it D can project the singer s

job yet Mr Hobbs a friend of my father s 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 short term 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 hadn t gone on strike Furthermore the work flow was irregular There was one especially absent minded 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
