查看习题详情和答案>>or angry.They can make you relax or want to get up and dance.Gifted singers have the power to affect
us in many ways-emotionally, physically and mentally.
But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one.It takes practice , devotion and strong
lungs ! Just ask the wellknown American opera( 歌剧)star Carol Vaness.
At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud
enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater , without a
microphone ,even when she’s singing softly.The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way
she breathes.
“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater ,” Carol
explains.“You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how
much air you take in, and how you control it coming out.Regular singing is more like speaking, and
it’s a lot softer.When I sing for children,they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears-like waves on a beach,”Carol says.“In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth-it vibrates in your
chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”
Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music.As she got older,she
decided to become a music teacher.When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her
studies.Her voice teacher discovered that nineteenyearold Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano
voice-the highest singing voice for women.
Carol decided to make opera her goal,not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved
the drama.Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them.The stories of
opera can be tragic or comical.They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand
stories about kings and queens who lived long ago.As the characters in an opera sing,the emotions(情感)
expressed by words and music come to life.
Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty
years.But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.“Put_your_heart_into_your_
singing and enjoy it,”says Carol, “because singing is a great joy.That’s why I sing.In fact, that’s why
everybody sings.”
B．can seat 4， 000 people
C．has no microphones in it
D．can project the singer’s voice
B．The Way An Opera Star Sings
C．An Opera Star
D．Singing without A Microphone
B．The author has the idea that opera singing is more like speaking.
C．A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.
D．An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.
B．Carol worked as a music teacher
C．Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so
D．Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans
