That means, he learned a piece of music just by listening to it, not by reading notes.Joey's parents are not musicians. His father played a little piano and guitar, but not professionally. Watching his father play music influenced the young boy. So did his father's record collection. He learned jazz by listening to these records.By the time Joey was 10, the Lincoln Center in New York City invited him to play jazz at Lincoln Center.“Joey plays a version of Round Midnight, and everybody's jaws dropped, like looking at Joey and looking at each other ... and they're laughing, like ‘This can't possibly be what we're hearing.’He took another take afterwards; it was a completely different arrangement. And again, everyone (laughs) ...you kind of shrug your shoulders, look at each other, scratch your head, and just go ‘Okay, all right, I've never seen this before.’”Joey is home-schooled. And when he is not performing, he also likes playing with toys, playing sports and watching movies.He earned two Grammy nominations this year, one for “Best Improvised Jazz Solo” and one for “Best Jazz Instrumental Album.” He is one of the youngest musicians ever to earn a Grammy nomination.

However, in many ways, visiting the US' fifth largest city can be a great experience.Called the place where US democracy was born, on Nov. 6, Philadelphia got another important title: the first UNESCO World Heritage City in the US.The city became a World Heritage City thanks to “the universal principles of freedom and democracy written down in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution”both signed at Independence Hall, according to UNESCO. These documents “are greatly important to American history and have also had a big effect on lawmakers around the world”．Despite its importance in history, Philadelphia is also known for a diverse and accepting culture. It's not called the “City of Brotherly Love” for nothing. Philadelphia is home to a huge number of ethnic neighborhoods and one of the largest gay communities in the US. In fact, one of the first gay rights protests in the country happened outside of Independence Hall.Its collection of public art is another thing that makes Philadelphia stand out. Graffiti art is sometimes paid for as the city tries to make Philadelphia a “museum without walls”．As the US Ne w s website noted, “This is a great example of the city's well-known grassroots culture.”In recent years, Philadelphia has also become one of the US' most exciting food cities. Travelers won't miss it. They believe no trip would be complete without tasting its soft pretzel (椒盐脆饼) and the famous cheesesteak sandwich. It is a large sandwich made with thin slices of steak and cheese.Whether you're looking for “historic sites, culture, and art scene, or delicious food”，Philadelphia won't disappoint you, said travel guide Lonely Planet.5．What made Philadelphia a World Heritage City?A．The delicious food.B．The historic sites and art scene.C．The birthplace of US democracy.D．The diverse and accepting culture.6．By saying “museum without walls” in Paragraph 5, the author means “________”．A．museum sets no limit for artB．public art can be found everywhereC．the museum was built without wallsD．the city's grassroots culture is well-known7．What does the underlined word “complete” in Paragraph 6 mean?A．Finished.

We've all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed —graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don't think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you've ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people don't make these choices consciously (意识到地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.There's_no_“getting_rid_of_people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other's lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don't get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldn't you always be loyal to your friends? Once you havea close friend, even if his influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn't you stick by him?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to his highest and best self as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren't showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone，“I'm sorry, but I can't have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it's often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it's also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.9．When experiencing major life changes, people may ________.A．join a new social communityB．influence their friends aroundC．choose their friendships purposelyD．have their people environment changed10．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Everyone has at least one friend.B．It is unnecessary to make new friends.C．Friendship still exists though there are fewer connections.D．You ought to treat your old and new friendsequally.11．What is the author's opinion on the loyalty to friends?A．Never betray your close friends whatever happens.B．Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C．Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you.D．Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.12．How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?A．We should accept what we are told to do.B．We should stay silent and be in favor of him.C．We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.D．We should give our boss courage to continue.词义猜测题专练(二)A语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。
