Tabb doesn't look like a typical music teacher. But every weekday evening in the French Quarter New Orleans, he beats out the rhythm on his music stand as students play their chosen instruments.
“I'm doing my best to take young people away from harmful things,” said Tabb. His program, "The Roots of Music”, offers free music education to more than 100 students. He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nation's highest murder rate(兇殺率).
Tabb chose to target 9to14yearolds with his program. “That's a very important time in your life,” he said. “If I catch them then, I can hold onto them for at least four or five years and guide them the way that will lead them to success.”
Students meet from 4 pm to 7 pm every weekday, all year round. They work with tutors(助教) on schoolwork, practice their music and eat a hot meal before heading home. With the money provided by some people, Tabb's group is able to provide bus transportation, instruments and food for free. He calls it his “no excuse” policy. “You have no excuse why you're not here,” Tabb said. Tabb owes the success in part to the nature of music. “You're always learning something new,”he said. “That's what keeps the kids coming back every day.”
But the program isn't only about fun. “Music is about discipline (紀(jì)律),”said Tabb. He insists on good behavior and keeps kids in order with threats of situps(仰臥起坐), pushups(俯臥撐) or tasks like picking up grains of rice — but these measures aren't just punishment. Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future. “I don't say that I'm saving lives,” he said. “I say I'm giving life — a whole different life of music.”
【小題1】The underlined phrase "keep young people on the straight and narrow” may mean ________.
A.keep young people standing straight |
B.keep young people on the correct life track(道路) |
C.keep young people busy performing music |
D.keep young people away from the dangerous parts of the city |
A.Jack, 8 years old. | B.Tom, 9 years old. |
C.John, 11 years old. | D.Linda, 13 years old. |
A.The free food and transportation. | B.The famous music teacher. |
C.The chance to learn new things. | D.The strict discipline rules. |
A.keeping discipline is more important than learning music |
B.obeying(遵守) rules is important in playing music well |
C.music is also connected with kids' grades |
D.kids can learn how to behave through music |
A.Tabb's program offers young people help. |
B.Kids improve grades through music learning. |
C.Tabb offers kids free food to learn music. |
D.Tabb performs music for street children. |

THE WAY TO READ FAST
Perhaps you have been told about some habits(習(xí)慣) which stop a person reading fast、and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits7 Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to
these questions:
1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently?
2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
4. Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.
If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.
If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand, and hold your head still(不動地,靜止地).
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
