I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
1.The writer is probably ______.
A.worker B.a college teacher
C.manager of a company D.a clerk
2.He learned ______ that there would be a concert last Friday.
A.from his friends
B.from one of his colleagues
C.over the radio
D.from the newspaper
3.He could go and buy the ticket ______.
A.any day before work hours
B.both before and after work hours
C.only during lunch time
D.on Saturday and Sunday
4.The word “relieved” in the last two sentences may best be replaced by “______”.
A.surprised B.pleased C.puzzled D.sorry
5.The story is about ______.
A.a good concert
B.someone enjoying a good concert
C.someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friends
D.someone’s disappointment at not being able to go to the concert

Americans have contributed to many art forms, but jazz, a type music, is one of the art form that was started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.
Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious(宗教) music. Improvisation is an important part of jazz. This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along, or create the music on the spot. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played.
Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is an international seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.
Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent. In this way jazz continues to grow and change.

When I began my career as a jazz singer, I was told to start by covering the standards. But I didn't follow the path most new jazz artists take and produced original albums instead. I believe when you have something to say, you can't 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 Nat's 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 it's breaking." Imagine her putting on, "Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again." I see the optimism 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 Mother's 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. They're still getting the message.
1.How did the writer start his career as a musician? ______
A. By copying his idol. B. By singing for awards.
C. By covering the standards. D. By creating original music.
2.What's paragraph three mainly about? ______
A. The writer's childhood experience.
B. Nat King Cole's contribution to jazz.
C. The writer's mother in the protest movement.
D. Nat King Cole's influence on the writer and his family.
3.What does the writer express in his songs? ______
A. His personal emotions.
B. His strong love for jazz.
C. His attitude toward social injustice.
D. His memories of the good old days.
4.What conclusion can be drawn from the text? ______
A. The dream of the writer's mother has come true.
B. The writer's music is influencing young people.
C. Nat King Cole's jazz music highly valued by all.
D. Optimism is the soul of the writer's original songs
