2019学年度译林版选修八Unit2Period1Reading阅读学案设计(8页word版含有答案解析)第2页

There's a street in Harlem that comes alive every Saturday with the sound of gospel (福音)music. You won't tind any church there - just a simple stone house full of teenagers and the woman who draws them in.

Her name is Vy Higginsen, a New York theater producer. Five years ago she created something called"Gospel for Teens".

If you're thinking that Higginsen thought up this program as a way to save the teens, you'd be wrong. She did it to save the music.

The faces and voices of Gospel for Teens include kids between the ages of 13 and 19 who gather in Harlem each week from all over New York and New Jersey to study the tradition and the art of singing gospel.

Higginsen runs an advanced (高级的) class, but each fall she brings in a new group, putting out a call for auditions (试音) in local papers, on radio, and in churches. She calls them her"beginners".

Yolanda Howard, age 14, had arrived by subway from the Bronx very early."I was so happy because I was the first person," she said.

And she brought along her friend Rhonda Rodriguez. Asked if she was nervous, Rodriguez told Lesley Stahl, a reporter,"I was really nervous."

"Did they really have to be great in the audition?" Stahl asked Higginsen.

"No,"she replied. "We_don't_expect_them_to_be_great.They're teenagers."

One girl who auditioned only knew little about music. "That's why we have this school!" said Higginsen.

So she and the teachers she calls music masters - including her own daughter Knoelle - want to accept as many kids as they can.

And that next Saturday, there they were: the 46 kids Higginsen chose as her new beginners, including Yolanda Howard and her friend Rhonda Rodriguez, who thought she wouldn't get in, but Higginsen had decided to give her a chance.
