    Directions:    Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

    A．Do established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist young up-and-coming musicians?

    B．Did anyone promote your musical education when you were growing up?

    C．What kind of “world music” do you enjoy?

    D．What’s your comment on pop music?

    E．Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves?

    F．What’s wrong with the music on the radio?

    An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician

    80．

     

    There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my latent and the talents of other students in our school.

    81．

     

    Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald ― those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.

    82．

     

    Around the would people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.

    83．

     

    The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.

    84．

     

    The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.

    Kieron Williamson, a seven-year-old British boy, is being recognized as an art genius after selling 16 paintings for 18, 000 pounds in just 14 minutes. This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons to Pablo Picasso, a child prodigy（神童）who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century.

     It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall on the southwest English coast when Kieron was five. Inspired by the view, he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad （速写纸）. From that moment on, he became deeply interested. While supportive, Kieron’s parents are careful not to push their son. He only paints when and what he wants.

     He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in. His father said a sale of Kieron’s works held in November even drew a buyer from Japan. “We had people driving down that night, there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside, the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o’clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone, ” he said.

    All this talent, money and high praise could so easily go to a young boy’s head, but Kieron said his friends keep him grounded. “Some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think. . . Umn, ‘you are not too special’, ” he said.

        Kieron’s favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings buying a work by his hero. The rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25. Kieron’s parents and his younger sister Billi-Jo don’t see him as anything other than a normal seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and who’s mad about football. But for now, with so much still to learn, there’s only one thing he wants to be when he grows up. He said, “I think I’ll definitely be an artist. ”

    26. According to Paragraph 1, we can know Kieron Williamson ________.

    A. painted 16 paintings in only 14 minutes

    B. draws as well as Picasso did

    C. is one of the most recognized artists

    D. has unusual ability in painting

    A. His first sketch-pad.

    28. In Kieron Williamson’s friends’ opinion, he ________.

    A. is famous but a little proud

    B. isn’t very special from other children

    C. isn’t worth praising at all

    D. is hard to get along with

    29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

    A. Edward Seago thinks highly of Kieron’s painting

    B. Kieron likes doing sports and painting instead of studying

    C. Kieron’s family is very poor

    D. Kieron wants to be a great painter

    30. The passage mainly tells us________.

    A. a seven-year-old painting genius

    B. how to be a great painter

    C. Kieron Williamson may become the second Picasso

    D. the painting changed Kieron Williamson’s life greatly
