【原文】

W: Could I see the Manager, please? I have a complaint.

M: Can I help you, Madam?

W: Yes. Did you have this room checked before I moved in? There’s no lavatory paper and the toilet doesn’t flush properly; the water doesn’t run away in the shower and I would like an extra pillow. What do you have to say to that?

M: I’m extremely sorry to hear that. I’ll attend to it right away. The housekeeper usually checks every room before new guests move in. We have been extremely busy with a large conference.

W: That is no way to run a hotel. One doesn’t expect this sort of thing in a well-run hotel. I am very unhappy about it. I am here to spend my honeymoon with my husband and the room has totally ruined my good mood.

M: I do apologize, Madam. It’s most unusual. We do try to check the rooms as thoroughly as possible. I am very sorry to have caused you all that inconvenience. Just one pillow, was it? Is there anything else?

W: Well, your air-conditioning doesn’t seem to be working well. It’s as hot as hell up there.

M: I’ll just adjust the regulator for you and I think you’ll find it a little cooler in a short time. I’ll also send someone along right away to look at the toilet and shower. And to celebrate your honeymoon we will send a cake and fruit to your room. I hope you enjoy them.

Questions:

What is the manager doing now?

Which is NOT among the problems of the room?

How did the woman probably feel before she checked in the room?

What will the manager do to celebrate the woman’s honeymoon?

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music

It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”

But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?

A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.

We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.

But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.

They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.

Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.

【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
