E.Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves?
F.What’s wrong with the music on the radio?

【小题1】_________________________________
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 talent and the talents of other students in our school.
【小题2】_____________________________
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.
【小题3】______________________________
Around the world 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.
【小题4】_______________________________
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, which underscore 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.
【小题5】_________________________________
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.

Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts (干旱) are causing famine and distress in some areas, and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the world’s population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.
  But that doesn’t have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world---if we start valuing water more than we did in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.
  Instead, for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.
  Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound (健康的) ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions (凹地) and pumping it to nearby cropland.
  No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate (调整) water policy.
【小题1】What is the real cause of the potentials water crisis.

A.Only half of the world’s water can be used.
B.The world population is increasing faster and faster.
C.Half of the world’s water resources have been seriously polluted.
D.Humanity has not placed enough value on water resources.
【小题2】As is indicated in the passage, the water problem _________ .
A.is already serious in certain parts of the world.
B.has been exaggerated by some experts in the field
C.poses a challenge to the technology of building reservoirs(水库)
D.is underestimated by government organizations at different levels
【小题3】 According to the author, the water price should _______ .
A.be reduced to the minimumB.stimulate domestic demand
C.go with its real valueD.take into account the occurrences of droughts
【小题4】In order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to ______ .
A.guarantee full protection of the environment
B.centralize the management of water resources
C.increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levels
D.encourage local and regional water resources
