M: Not very much. It sounds too emotional to me.
F: That's why it is so popular. It was recorded by Barbara Martin. I've heard that when she
sang this song on stage the opening night, she created quite a sensation.
M: I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.
F: Well then, you need an introduction. The school drama club is putting on a musical
production. Why don't you take me?
M: I have a better idea. Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz.

五.听短文回答问题
今天我们要听的文章谈到两种美国流行歌曲,一种是起源于非洲宗教乐曲和民谣, 由美国黑人音乐家发扬光大的爵士音乐, 一种是以纽约戏剧中心 "百老汇"为大本营的美国歌舞剧. 现在请你注意听. 并且注意我们刚才学过的词汇在文章里的用法.
When people talk about American popular music, they don't just mean country music or rock music. There are two other types of popular music with national and international appeal that are basically American. One is Jazz. The other is a musical form associated with New York City theaters.
Jazz originated from African religious and folk music. The themes and melodies of jazz
music have historical origins. They came from songs sung by black Americans in church or at work. There have been different kinds of jazz music, the blues11, ragtime12, swing boogie-
woogie and others.
In playing jazz music, the performers blend rhythms and melodies with their skills of
improvisation. Modern jazz music has developed into a complex musical style enjoyed more by musicians and older jazz lovers than by the general public.
American theater has developed another American musical style. It is associated with a
street in New York City, Broadway. Broadway musicals are dramatic productions in which the story is told partly by dialogue and partly through songs. The lyrics of these songs give
background information about the story and express the feelings of the characters in the
story. Many Broadway musicals have been made into movies that have been shown all over the world. "Oklahoma", "Sound of Music", "My Fair Lady", and "West Side Story" are some good examples.
Songs from these musicals and others have translations in various languages that are sung around the world. Many of them have become popular with people who have not even seen the musicals for which they were written.
现在请你回答三个问题. 每回答一个问题就请你听老师给你念正确答案.
第一个问题是:
M: What are two types of American popular music with international appeal?
F: They are Jazz and Broadway musicals.
第二个问题是:
M: What are the origins of American Jazz?
F: The origins of American Jazz are the religious and folk music of American blacks.
第三个问题是:
M: How is the story told in American musicals?
F: It is told partly by dialogue and partly through songs.
