When I began my career as a jazz singer， I was told to start by covering the standards. But I didnt follow the path most new jazz artists take and produced original albums instead. I believe when you have something to say， you cant really keep it down.

Two of those original albums， Liquid Spirit and Take Me To The Alley， earned me a loyal fan base and two Grammys for best jazz album in 2014 and 2017 respectively.

My idol is Nat King Cole， whose music has an important place in our household. I could smell the greens on the stove and the cornbread in the oven when I hear Nats music. I wanted to have his music come through my body and sing it as an expression of appreciation for him. My mother had always been a fan of his music. This is something I did one day： Imagine her coming home from some protest movement or march and putting on， “Smile though your heart is aching， smile even though its breaking.” Imagine her putting on， “Pick yourself up， dust yourself off， start all over again.” I see the optimism （乐观） and the strength in his music.

Writing from a personal experience can bring about my feelings and power of feelings that can be instantly connected to the instrument and my voice. When I sing Mothers Song， Insanity， even Holding On， I am expressing things I have a connection to.

The song Holding On is a soul song. It connects to Nat King Cole with its optimism， the optimism about the power and the strength of love. I like the fact that I can have 17 to 25-year-olds all over the world jumping and dancing to this song. Theyre still getting the message.

24. How did the author start his career as a musician？

C. Nat King Coles jazz music is highly valued by all.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love， sadness， good times， and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated （復杂的）， it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

Country music， sometimes called country-western， comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars， and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the south. But during World War II， thousands of southerners went to the northeast and midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the south. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.

Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City， among black and white， and among educated and uneducated people. About 1，200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English， and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.

28. Where does country music come from in the US？

A. The northeast and midwest.

B. Real-life stories in small towns.

C. Factories and army camps in the south.

D. The Appalachian Mountains and the west.

___ .

A. the northeast B. the midwest

C. the south D. the north

A. To take music with them.

B. To work in the factories there.

C. To make their music more popular.

D. To make other people like country music.

31. Why is country music regarded as one of the most popular kinds of music in the world today？

A. It is loved by different kinds of people in the world.

B. People could sing it in many different languages.

C. It started with cowboys and poor southerners.

D. Many people said it was easy.

Elephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman， and can tell an adult from a child—all from the sound of a human voice. This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.

Prof Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study. They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tell—from the sound of a lion—whether the animal was a female （雌性） or a more dangerous male （雄性）.

Prof McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.

The scientists recorded Masai men， women and children saying， in their own language， “Look， look over there， a group of elephants are coming.” They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.

The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men. Usually Masai people hunt elephants， and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.

Masai people often come across elephants， which can result in violent （暴力的） hunting. Kamba people， however， mainly feed on agriculture， which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.

When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker， they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man， than to a Kamba mans voice. And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.

32. An elephant tells a man from a woman by sense of ___ .

A. touch B. sight C. smell D. hearing

33. How did the researchers get to know the elephants special

ability？

A. By recording their behaviors.

B. By watching them in the zoo.

C. By playing voice recordings to them.

D. By communicating with them in a special way.

34. We can learn from the text that elephants are especially afraid

of ___ .

A. Masai men B. Masai women

C. Kamba men D. Kamba women

35. What is the best title for the text？

A. Elephants and Human Beings

B. Differences Between Human Voices

C. Elephants Recognize Human Voices

D. Elephants at War with Human Beings

From my second grade on， there was one event I feared every year： the piano recital （独奏演唱会）. A recital  I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers.
