For many the only way to enjoy Ireland’s fantastic and breathtaking scenery is to take to the open road on a motoring holiday. It’s true to say that motoring can still be a pleasure on roads so empty of the traffic you are used to. You can choose your own route or let us suggest one or two. You can pre-book all your accommodation or just go as you please. You can choose your accommodation from good quality hotels in coast or country, village or city, guesthouses, town and country homes or farmhouses throughout the island. Naturally we will supply you with a good quality map to help you around.

Our Value Motoring holiday includes a wide selection of hotels and guesthouses. All hotels are fully licensed and certain guesthouses (as indicated) are also licensed. Bed and full Irish breakfast for 2 or 6 nights is indicated in your holiday price. Hotel and guesthouse gratings are shown by a figure in brackets (括号) after the name of each of the places. Facilities available are also shown after the grading. You may choose to travel on a Go As You Please or a pre-booked basis. On a Go As You Please holiday only the first night is booked for you in advance. For the rest of your holiday you book ahead as you travel (hotel reception will help) using the information lists we provide. A slight note of caution (警告) — in July and August it is advisable to book 2 or 3 days ahead. If you prefer to plan your holiday in advance then we will pre-book all accommodation for you. Just complete the booking form carefully using hotel codes indicated. If your first or second choice is not available we will book an alternative in the same place.

采访中有5处需要添加信息。请从以下选项中(A, B, C, D, E和F)中选出符合各段意思的选项。选项中有一项是多余的。

A.Do established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist young up-and–coming musicians?

B.Did anyone promote your musical education when you were growing up?

C.What kind of “world music” do you enjoy?

D.What’s your comment on pop music?

E.Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves?

F.What’s wrong with the music on the radio?

An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician

61 _________________________________

There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young.I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art.I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed.Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school.

62._____________________________

Yes.We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs.Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music.For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good.How they sound is secondary.Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame.We need to teach young people about the alternatives.

63.______________________________

Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language.I’d call it folk music.When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.

64._______________________________

The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming.Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, which underscore funk.As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over.Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.

65._________________________________

The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it.Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name.New jazz musicians don’t get much of break.A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis.That’s a shame.What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal.They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids.It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.
