Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and
New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.
UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance,
and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to
shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger
generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic
adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music
more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells
National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish
is that mu generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz
is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment
aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it
was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works
is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for
a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music
as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the
recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as
abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions
and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,”
says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to
foster.”
4．Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A．To remember the birth of jazz. B．To protect cultural diversity.
C．To encourage people to study music. D．To recognize the value of jazz.
5．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Jazz becoming more accessible. B．The production of jazz growing faster.
C．Jazz being less popular with the young. D．The jazz audience becoming
larger.
6．What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A．It will disappear gradually. B．It remains black and white.
C．It should keep up with the times. D．It changes every 50 years.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Exploring the Future of jazz. B．The Rise and Fall of jazz.
C．The Story of a jazz Musician. D．Celebrating the Jazz Day.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at
Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick
creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it
works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young
owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had
already .been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick( 雏 鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I
might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct
