听力原文: To play their music well, jazz musicians don't really need to know a lot about the rules of harmony and rhythm. Of course they might have knowledge of both harmony and rhythm, but that kind of knowledge isn't what makes them good jazz musicians. What does make them good is having an intuitive feeling for how the music works. For artists in the medium of jazz, the music comes naturally. It flows almost spontaneously through them. Their music performance is not planned in advance. As they play, they don't monitor themselves in terms of a formal theory of performance. As a result, jazz is a natural expression of moods and feelings of the artists, a moment by moment expression of the self. Now you are in for a treat. I brought some recordings of my favorite jazz artists. We'll spend some time listening to some examples of really good jazz.
According to the speaker, what is the distinctive characteristic of good jazz musicians?
A.They must be rich in the knowledge of harmony and rhythm.
B.They should be enthusiastic when composing music.
C.They should follow their intuition to let the music come out naturally.
D.They would perform. the music with guidance of formal theory.

听力原文: The question of whether dogs have a sense of humor is often fiercely argued. My own opinion is that some have and some haven't. Dachshunds have, but not St Bernards or Great Danes. Apparently a dog has to be small to be fond of joke. You never find a Great Dane trying to be a comedian.
But it is fatal to let any dog know that he is funny, for he immediately loses his head and starts overdoing it. As an example of this I would point to Rudolph, a Dachshund I once owned, whose slogan was "Anything for a Laugh". Dachshunds are always the worst offenders in this respect because of peculiar shape. It is only natural that when a dog finds that his mere appearance makes the viewing public laugh, he should imagine that Nature intended him to be a comedian.
Sometimes Rudolph overplays his sense of humor, a typical example of which is he once stole ducks from a farm nearby and brought complaints on me. It is true that Dachshunds and other dogs have their faults, but they seem unimportant compared with their virtues.
According to the narrator, which kind of dogs is thought to have a sense of humor?
A.St Bernards.
B.Great Danes.
C.Dachshunds.
D.Shepherd dogs.
