Some of the worlds most famous musicians gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO （United Nations Educational， Scientific and Cultural Organization） set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music， its significance， and its potential as a unifying （聯合） voice across cultures.

Despite the celebrations， though， in the US the jazz audience continues to decrease and grow older， and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.

Its Jason Morans job to help change that. As the Kennedy Centers 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 its not really a part of the American appetite，” Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. “What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. Its actually color， and its actually digital.”

Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music cant 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 Wallers 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， its the recontextualization. In music， where does the emotion lie？ Are we， as humans， gaining any insight （感悟） on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract （抽象） 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 encourage to develop.”

4. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day？

A. To protect cultural variety.

B. To remember the birth of jazz.

C. To recognize the value of jazz.

D. To encourage people to study music.

5. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to？

A. Jazz becoming more accessible.

B. The jazz audience becoming larger.

A. It changes every 50 years.

B. It will disappear gradually.

C. It remains black and white.

D. It should keep up with the times.

7. What can be the best title for the text？

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is decided in advance. He knows what he wants， and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock （有現货的）， the salesman immediately introduces it， and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well， the deal can be and is often completed in less than five minutes， with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction.

For a man， slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants， or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman， as the name implies， tries to sell the customer something else; he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute （替代品） impolitely; he does so with skill， “I know this jacket is not the style you want， sir， but would you like to try it for size？ It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment， and the usual response is， “This is the right color and may be the right size， but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes？ In almost every way she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind about what she wants， and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; in fact she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her， even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Opposite to a lot of jokes， most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses， a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiring process， but obviously an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

A. He usually does not buy anything.

B. He buys so long as the style is right.

C. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.

D. Hell make sure at least two of his requirements must be met before buying.

14. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers？

A. Men go shopping based on need， but women never.

B. Women bargain for their clothes， but men do not.

C. Men do not try clothes on while women do.

D. Women spend much more time shopping.
