Sometimes attributed to Frank Zappa, other times to E
34、lvis Costello, this quote is usually intended to convey the futility of such an endeavor, if not the complete silliness of even attempting it. But Glenn Kurtzs graceful memoir, Practicing: A Musicians Return to Music, turns the expression on its head, giving it a different meaning by creating a love
35、ly, unique book.Kurtz picked up the guitar as a kid in a music-loving family, attended the Long Island music school, and went on to play on Merv Griffins TV show before graduating from Tufts University.

40、 engineer, an athletelives the rest of their life with a sense of loss, with nagging what it is,“ he writes. “Is that time and effort, that talent and ambition, truly wasted?/（分数：10.00）(1).The quotation mentioned in Paragraph 1 implies that writing about music is _.（分数：1.00）A.an ambitious attemptB.a

46、frustrationB.reliving old dreams can be rewardingC.without dreams life is incompleteD.its inevitable for a musician to experience setbacksIt seems incredible to me that Latin is not taught in schools as a matter of course, especially in a country that is forever lamenting its own (undeniable) medioc

48、ic grounding in Latin makes learning Romance languages a doodle(轻而易举的事): the fact that I speak English plus three others has less to do with any genetic predispositionI was hopeless at learning Russianthan with an understanding of the root and provenance of Latin-derived words.It would be impossible
49、 to have a smattering of Latin and find oneself stuck in Italy, provided one managed to persuade the speaker to slow down a bit. And the reason I can (arguably) just about string a sentence together in Englishwhich isnt my first languagehas a great deal to do with understanding, through Latin, the way sentences and grammar work.Latin also has its own pleasing internal logic: you follow the rules and you get the answer.
