34、TELP descriptions C TELP courses D TELP term dates in 2011 答案： 71-74 CDBA For a song to become popular, people need to hear it. In order for people to hear it, the program directors at radio stations have to play it on the air. A songs popularity is directly related to how often it is played. That i
35、s a big responsibility for program directors. How do they decide what gets played and what doesnt In the past, disc jockeys(音乐节目支持人 ) decided what music was played on the radio. These DJs had an ear for music and an understanding of what their audience wanted to hear. Today, that is all changing. Mo
36、st major radio stations are owned by a few large national businesses. The decision of what gets played on the radio is made by executives(主管 ) who have little or no interest in music. They do, however, know how to run a business, and they know what sells. So, the music industry designs and creates p
37、op entertainers, and executives in the radio industry make sure that their music is played on the radio. This explains why you do not often hear anything new and fresh on the radio. The executives do not want to give air time to music that has not been tested on the market. It is too risky. They pre
38、fer to go with music that they already know will sell. They know it will sell because it sold last week and last month and last year. They just have to change it a little. One of the most criticized(批评 )practices in the music industry is the practice of “payola”. This is when record companies pay ra
39、dio stations to play the music of a given artist. This practice makes many people lose trust in the music industry and is therefore against the law. A radio station can accept money in exchange for air time of a song, but they have to make clear that the song is being played because its air time was
40、 paid for. They cannot present the song as if it were part of the normal play schedule. Payola affects both artists and audiences. The artists who work with small record companies that cannot pay a lot of money to radio stations have a much harder time getting exposure. It creates an unfair playing

Yet inside, it is Yinghua Academy, a public school where elementary（小学） students study subjects ranging from math to American history in Chinese. Yinghua, the first such immersion（沉浸式）
45、program in the Midwest is on the leading edge (前沿 ) of a movement that in recent years has seen Chinese language programs spread rapidly throughout the U.S. The idea behind Yinghua is to introduce kids to the language and culture as early as possible ideally, before age 12. Kindergarteners and first
46、 graders are taught in Chinese and a single period of English is introduced in second grade. By sixth grade, kids are learning half in English and half in Chinese, with the expectation of fluency in both. In Yinghuas classrooms, the walls are covered not with ABCs but with pictures and Chinese chara
47、cters. There are many challenges at Yinghua. Most teachers come from Taiwan or mainland China, and cultural misunderstandings are very common. Lueths teachers are learning to be tolerant of local customs as well as a lot more parental input ( 家长看法 ) than they are used to. “In China, teachers are respected. They are not questioned,” says Luyi Lien, Yinghuas Taiwan-born director. “In America, parents are more expressive of their opinions.” Research ha
