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 my 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 humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something 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 dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster."
While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening. The overhead light outside my door was burned out and I had 1finding the keyhole. When I 2 to open the door, I3around the wall for a light switch. I found a place where a switch was4fixed...but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered 5a lamp by the bed when I deposited (寄存) my luggage6in the day. I found the bed in the 7and then the lamp, but when I switched it on, nothing8!I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the 9 to find another lamp. So I 10my way slowly across the room to the curtains and...no drawstring!I finally stumbled (跌跌撞撞地走) around 11I found a desk lamp which actually 12!
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world can be 13how necessary light is!But even more necessary than 14 light is the light that shines from people—the light of 15 and faith. Because, for many people, the world is a dark and 16 place. For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in 17of some light. So let your light shine. Whatever light you 18may be a beacon (指路明灯) of hope and encouragement. And if you feel that your light is 19a candle in a forest, remember—there isn't enough darkness in the world to 20 the light of one small candle.
We often carry a lot of things when we're traveling.On long ones we carry things like passports, visas, etc. Though traveling can be fun, we're likely to misplace these things and even lose them because of the excitement of the journey or being too busy or tired. So how can we carry valuable things safely while traveling?
Place most of it in a wallet and put the wallet in your main suitcase or bag with a lock-and-key system. Don't open it until you reach your destination (目的地). Guess how much money you'll need on the journey, and place this money in a different wallet and carry this in your pocket.
Next, instead of wearing your jewelry, you can carry your jewelry at the bottom of your suitcase or bag.Many people think that since the purse is always going to be in their hands, it'll remain safe. But other things like tickets, phone numbers, keys, etc., are all going to go in there. So you're often going to open your purse for something or the other. What if you just drop it?
Then remember to hook (钩住) the keys. You get those really nice key chains these days that come with a big dog-hook.
Use one of these to carry your keys. This way, you won't leave the keys in a restaurant or any other place.
Hope all the above tips for traveling will help you.
A. So you'll know what to bring.
B. It's a kind of vacation, but without your parents.
C. Spend money from this wallet till you get to your destination.
D. Firstly, distribute (分开) your money if you're traveling alone.
E. You can hook the key chain to your jeans or your handbag.
F. On short trips we take things like money, jewelry (首饰), house keys, etc.
G. Don't carry it in your purse, just in case somebody is quick in stealing your purse.
