What's the problem with British teenagers? Many British newspapers and TV programmes are asking this question at the moment A lot of people are saying that there are problems with teenagers at school, on the streets and in their homes Why?

strict? Just the opposite, it seems The director of the programme, Andrea Wiseman, explains why they are making it She thinks that in the United Kingdom teenagers pay no attention to adults They don't want to do well at school They think they can do what they like and they are only interested in new fashions and
Hollywood celebrities Why are British teenagers like this? Wiseman says it's because their parents give their
children everything they can But they give their children no limits, no rules, no discipline because they want their children to be 'free' They don't tell their children to work hard because they don't want their kids to have any stress The problem with this is that parents give their sons and daughters no cultural values When a
teenager does something bad and their parents say something, the teenagers immediately say 'My parents are
Trang 3really strict' or 'My parents aren't fair' So what happens in the TV programme? Some problematic British teenagers go and live with parents in different parts of the world They live with families that believe in
traditional discipline and cultural values In Ghana, Jamaica, Botswana and the southern us state of Alabama, the teenagers have the experience of living with parents who want and expect good behaviour and hard work The results are interesting In the end, the British teenagers seem to prefer having strict parents!

It may seem as if the art of music by its nature would not lend itself to the exploration and expression of reality characteristic of Romanticism, but that is not so True, music does not tell stories or paint pictures, but it stirs feelings and evokes moods, through both of which various kinds of reality can be suggested or expressed It was
in the rationalist 18th century that musicians rather mechanically attempted to reproduce stories and subjects in
sound These literal renderings naturally failed, and the Romanticists profited from the error Their discovery
of new realms of experience proved communicable in the first place because they were in touch with the spirit
of renovation, particularly through poetry What Goethe meant to Beethoven and Berlioz and what German folk tales and contemporary lyricists meant to Weber, Schumann, and Schubert are familiar to all who are
acquainted with the music of these men
There is, of course, no way to demonstrate that Beethoven's Egmont music or, indeed, its overture alone
corresponds to Goethe's drama and thereby enlarges the hearer's consciousness of it; but it cannot be an accident
or an aberration that the greatest composers of the period employed the resources of their art for the creation of works expressly related to such lyrical and dramatic subjects Similarly, the love of nature stirred Beethoven, Weber, and Berlioz, and here too the correspondence is felt and persuades the fit listener that his own
experience is being expanded The words of-the creators themselves record this new comprehensiveness Beethoven referred to his activity of mingled contemplation and composition as dichten, making a poem; and
Berlioz tells in his Memoires of the impetus given to his genius by the music of Beethoven and Weber, by the
poetry of Goethe and Shakespeare, and not least by the spectacle of nature Nor did the public that ultimately understood their works gainsay their claims
It must be added that the Romantic musicians including Chopin, Mendelssohn, Glinka, and Liszt-had at their disposal greatly improved instruments The beginning of the 19th century produced the modern piano, of greater range and dynamics than ever before, and made all wind instruments more exact and powerful by the
Trang 4use of keys and valves The modern full orchestra was the result Berlioz, whose classic treatise on
instrumentation and orchestration helped to give it definitive form, was also the first to exploit its resources to the full, in the Symphonic fantastique of 1830 This work, besides its technical significance just mentioned, can also be regarded as uniting the characteristics of Romanticism in music, it is both lyrical and dramatic, and, although it makes use of a "story," that use is not to describe the scenes but to connect them; its slow movement
is a "nature poem" in the Beethovenian manner; the second, fourth, and fifth movements include "realistic" detail of the most vivid kind; and the opening one is an introspective reverie
Question 36 The word "error" in paragraph 1 refers to _.
A the feelings and moods of the Romanticist musicians
B the exploration and expression of reality of Romanticism
C the works of the Romanticist musicians in the 18th century
D musicians' mechanical reproduction of stories and subjects
Question 37 It is stated in the passage that the Romanticists were influenced by _
A the works of the rationalist musicians in the 18th century
B Goethe, German folktales and contemporary lyricists
C the thoughts of Beethoven, Weber, and Berlioz
D the art of music by the rationalist musicians
Question 38 The passage indicates that the Romanticist composers were inspired not only by lyrical and
dramatic subjects but also by _
Question 39 The Romantic musicians also made use of modern technologies such as _.
A improved wind instruments B powerful keys and valves
C greater range and dynamics D instrumenation and orchestration
