2.B

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, arescue and education organization at

Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Tryingto help injured, displaced or sick creatures

can be heartbreaking; survival isnever certain. However, when it works, it is simply

beautiful.

I got a rescue call from a woman inMuttontown. She had found a young owl(

猫

头鹰

) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It hadalready

placed in a carrier for safety.

I examined the chick(

雏鸟

) and it seemed fine. If I couldlocate the nest, I might

have been able to put it back, but no luck. My nextwork was to construct a nest and

anchor it in a tree.

The homeowner was very helpful. A wirebasket was found. I put some pine

branches into the basket to make this nestsafe and comfortable. I placed the chick

in the nest, and it quickly calmeddown.

Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent. I gave the

homeowner a recording of the hunger screams ofowl chicks. These advertise the

presence of chicks to adults; they might alsoencourage our chick to start calling as

well. I gave the owner as muchinformation as possible and headed home to see

what news the night might bring.

A nervous night to be sure,but sometimesthe spirits of nature smile on us all!

The homeowner called to say that theparents had responded to the recordings. I

drove over and saw the chick in thenest looking healthy and active. And it was

accompanied in the nest by thegreatest sight of all

Some of the world

’

s most famous musiciansrecently gathered in Paris and New

Orleans to celebrate the first annualInternational Jazz Day. UNESCO( United

Nations Educational, Scientific andCultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a

day to raise awareness ofjazz music, its significance, and its potential as a

unifying(

联合

) voice across cultures.

Despite the celebrations, though, in theU.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink

and grow older, and the music hasfailed to connect with younger generations.

It

’

s Jason Moran

’

s job to help change the Kennedy Center

’

s artistic adviser

for jazz, Moran hopes to widen theaudience for jazz, make the music more

accessible, and preserve its history andculture.

“

Jazz seems like it

’

s not really a part of the American appetite,

”

Moran tells

National Public Radio

’

s reporter Neal Conan.

“

What I

’

m hoping toaccomplish is

that mu generation and younger start to reconsider and understandthat jazz is not

black and write anymore. It

’

s actually color, and it

’

sactually digital.

”

Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that theentertainment aspect of

the music has been lost.

“

The music can

’

t be presentedtoday the way it was in

1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because theway the world works is not

the same,

”

says Moran.

Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller

’

smusic for a dance

party,

“

Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Walleris dance music as much as

it is concert music,

”

says Moran.

“

For me, it

’

s therecontextualization. In music,

where does the emotion(

情感

) lie? Are we, as abstract as aCharlie Parker record gets

us into a dialogue about our emotions and ourthoughts? Sometimes we lose sight

that the music has a wider context,

”

saysMoran,

“

So I want to continue those

dialogue. Those are the things I want tofoster.

”

doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.

wilderness.

conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities

of life.

trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom,

a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and

curtains.
