Today, we talk to an up-and-coming (有前途的) erhu player, Lee Hang, from Hong Kong. He’ll play with the Hong Kong Orchestra (管弦乐队) next Sunday in a special concert by young Chinese musicians.
Interviewer: Thank you for talking to us, Lee. You must be very excited.
Lee: Yes, I am. This is the first time that I’ve played with such a famous orchestra and in front of so many people. They’re expecting about 4,000 people.
Interviewer: Does that scare you?
Lee: To be honest, yes. I haven’t slept much in the last few days. But my teacher told me I wouldn’t take it seriously enough if I wasn’t scared. That helped a lot.
Interviewer: Tell me about why you started playing the erhu.
Lee: My parents took me to piano and violin lessons. I quite liked them but they had to force me to go sometimes. One night, I saw a documentary about Yo Yo Ma, the famous Chinese American cello(大提琴) player. He talked about his love of Chinese instruments and we should follow our interests. I always enjoyed listening to Chinese instruments like the erhu and guzheng. That inspired me to learn the erhu. My parents were glad that I was playing something I actually liked.
Interviewer: What do your friends think of you playing a Chinese instrument?
Lee: Well, a lot of my classmates think playing things like the erhu isn’t cool. I don’t care. It makes me happy. I got a letter from Yo Yo, saying how much he admired me and that he’d like to meet me next time when he’s in Hong Kong. They thought that was pretty cool!
Interviewer: And what does the future hold for you?
Lee: I’d like to study music in a university in China then hopefully play in orchestras. My ambition is to bring the beautiful sound of the erhu to all the corners of the world.
Interviewer: Well, if anyone can, it’s you. Thanks for talking to me, Lee. Good luck.
Lee: Thanks.

The lights dimmed，the musical hall grew quiet and out walked the conductor (指挥) shiny and white and 4 feet and 3 inches tall.
ASIMO, a robot designed by Honda Motor Co., met its latest challenge Tuesday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony (底特律交响乐团), in a performance of “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of La Mancha”．
“Hello, everyone，” ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked (模仿) the actions of a conductor,
nodding its head at various sections and gesturing with one or both hands. ASIMO took a final bow to excited shouts from the audience. Later, cellist Yo－Yo Ma joined ASIMO onstage to receive an award for his efforts in music education.
Honda spokeswoman Alicia Jones says it is the first time ASIMO has conducted an orchestra, and it may be the first time any robot has conducted a live performance. But ASIMO has its limits. ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony's education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can't respond to the musicians.
“It's not a communicative device. It simply is programmed to do a set of gestures，” said Leonard Slatkin, the orchestra's musical director. “If the orchestra decides to go faster, there's nothing the robot can do about it. Hopefully, I keep that under control.”
But several musicians also said ASIMO was more realistic than they expected. “The movements are still a little stiff (僵硬的), but very humanlike, much better than I thought，” Hutchinson said.
1.What's the audience's response to ASIMO's performance?
|
A．Disappointed. |
B．Moved. |
|
C．Excited. |
D．Astonished. |
2.Whose conducting was ASIMO made to copy?
|
A．Yo－Yo Ma's. |
B．Charles Burke's. |
|
C．Leonard Slatkin's. |
D．Alicia Jones's. |
3.We can learn from the passage that ASIMO ________.
|
A．was designed and trained by Yo－Yo Ma |
|
B．can communicate with the audience freely |
|
C．only performs according to the designed programs |
|
D．can change its conducting style freely |
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
|
A．Detroit Symphony gives a good performance |
|
B．Honda robot conducts Detroit Symphony |
|
C．“The Impossible Dream” from Detroit Symphony |
|
D．Cooperation between Honda and Detroit Symphony |
