Norah wins big at Grammy Awards

Norah Jones had a sleepless night on February 23. The 23-year-old American jazz singer, who found her voice in the small clubs of New York, dominated(统治)the 45th annual Grammy Awards—the music industry’s most prestigious(赫赫有名的)award ceremony.

She seemed as surprised as everyone else that her first album, “Come Away With Me”, was such a big success. It won her the most wanted awards, including Album of the Year(年度最佳专辑), Song of the Year and Best New Artist.

“I can’t believe this, I feel really blessed and really lucky to have this year, ”said the wide-eyed girl at the ceremony.

Jones grew up in Texas, US, with her mother. Her parents separated before she was born. She began singing in church choirs(唱诗班)at the age of five and started piano lessons two years later.

At the age of 15, Jones entered the High School for the Performing Arts in Washington. She won Best Jazz Singer and Best Original Composition(最佳原创作品)at the 1996 and 1997 Student Music Awards.

She had always enjoyed singing, but felt the piano would be a more solid foundation in life. So Jones chose to study jazz piano music at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York City.

The trip started out as a summer vacation. But Jones soon realized she wanted to stay for a while, “The music scene in New York is so huge and exciting. Everything opened up for me. I couldn’t leave, ”she said.

Jones became friends with local songwriters and was inspired(激励)to write her own songs. She began to sing and play the piano in a band. She got her break in 2001 and released “Come Away With Me”the following year.

The album is a blend(融合)of jazz, country and folk-pop. It has now sold more than 6 million copies around the world and has won much praise from the music industry. “She makes an album that people will remember in 20 years. ”said American country singer Faith Hill.

What is jazz?

Jazz is generally thought to have begun in New Orleans, US. It developed in the latter part of the 19th century from African work songs, songs of sorrow and hymns(赞美诗). The character of jazz is spontaneous(自然的)and emotional. It is usually played by small bands made up of a cornet(短号), clarinet(单簧管), trombone(长号)and guitar.

  It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of“Shenzhou V”,or“Divine ship/vessel V”.There are also lexicographers, or dictionary compilers.The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit.

  One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts.It’s a combination of the Chinese pinyin“taikong”, meaning space, and the English“astronaut”, from classical Greek:“star sailor/navigator”, for people who was going into space as a career.

  In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut”was used as a proper noun.For example:

  The long March 2F rocket carrying“taikonaut”Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.

  A Long March 2F rocket called the Shemhou V-“divine ship”in Chinese-carried a single“taikonaut”named Yang Liwei, 38, following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.

  The word“taikonaut”is not a newly coined term.It first emerged in November, 1999, when China launched its first unmanned“Shenzhou I”spacecraft.

  At that lime, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word“taikonaut”for the Chinese astronauts.It was then borrowed by the Germans media.

  But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English Learner’s Dictionary.

  However, the launch of the“Shenzhou V”will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.

  An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union)is called a“cosmonaut”, from the Russian“kosmonaut”.The word was derived from classical Greek:“kosmonaut”(universal)and“nautes”.One might argue that“cosmonaut”is a Russian variation on the earlier word“astronaut”.

  On March 14,1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.

  And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa?We’ll have to wait to see.

(1)

Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?

[  ]

A.

Why to Create the Word“Astronaut”?

B.

Why to Make a Lot of Variations for“Taikonaut”?

C.

How to Tell a“Taikonaut”from an Astronaut?

D.

How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?

(2)

Which is the right statement in the following sentence?

[  ]

A.

The word“taikonaut”was born with the launch of“Shenzhou V”spacecraft.

B.

Yang Liwei, Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts.

C.

The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word“taikonaut”.

D.

Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the“Shenzhou V”spacecraft.

(3)

From the writer’s point of view, ________.

[  ]

A.

lexicographers or dictionary compilers have also done a lot of things to help launch“Shenzhou V”

B.

the American astronaut Norman Thagard is not a cosmonaut

C.

the words coined or to be coined for astronauts of different countries usually have something to do with the name(s)of their countries

D.

the reason why there will be more variations for the word astronauts is that more and more countries will be able to send their own astronauts into space

(4)

What does the underlined word“coinage”mean in the passage?

[  ]

A.

System of coins in use.

B.

Invention of word.

C.

New meaning of a word.

D.

Discovery of an old word.
