One day, when Roger was sitting in his chair, and his hair was being cut as usual, the old man said to him, "Roger, I'm going to be seventy years old next month and I feel tired, so I'm going to sell my shop to a young man. He liked to cut hair for people."
Roger was sorry to hear that, because he enjoyed talking to the old man, and he was also worried that his hair would not be cut as well by the new young man as it had been for so many years by his old friend.
He went to the shop again the next month, and the new young man was there. He cut Roger's hair, but he did it badly.
The next month, Roger went into the shop again. The young man asked him how he would like his hair cut, and Roger answered, "Please cut it very short on the right side, but leave it as it is on the left. It must cover my ear. On top, cut all the hair away in the middle, but leave a piece at the front."
The young man was very surprised when he heard this, "But sir," he said, "I can't cut your hair like that!" "Why not?" Roger asked. "That's how you cut it last time."
Who always cut Roger's hair?
A.His new friend.
B.A young man.
C.An old woman.
D.His old friend.

The one form. of music which did not originate in Europe and which is popular today worldwide is jazz. Jazz was born in New Orleans, the child of the Blacks. It drew on the rhythms as well as the emotionalism of the African music of the Black ancestors, which had been transformed into ragtime and the blues. Improvisation was an indispensable element. Musicians were permitted, in solo performance, plenty of freedom to play in whatever variations just as their creative mood happened to lead them along. But during the Swing era(1930s—1950s), impromptu renditions gave way to arrangement. It was a period when jazz had its widest popular appeal with the big bands that boasted of such outstanding bandleaders as Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and a whole galaxy of top-notch instrumentalists.
Rock music in the 1960s is a sociological expression rather than a musical force and the rock arena was seen as a sort of debating forum, a place where ideas clash and crash, where American youngsters struggle to define and redefine their feelings and beliefs. Bob Dylon touched a nerve of disaffection. He spoke of civil rights; nuclear fallout, and loneliness. He spoke of change and of the bewilderment of an older generation. "Something's happening here," he sang. "You don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?"
Others entered the debate. The Beatles urged peace and piety with humor and maybe a little of help from drugs. Feelings, always a part of any musical statement, were a major subject. Elvis Presley became the pop icon, maybe because he acted out your wildest fantasies, brought out your subdued id, embodied your frustrated teenage spirit, and encouraged your protest against traditional values. In this sense, rock is the music of teenage rebellion. All aspects of music—its exciting offbeat, loudness, self-absorbed lyrics and raving delivery—indicated a defiance of adult authority.
What is the best title of this passage?______
A.The origin of jazz
B.The success of rock music
C.The contemporary jazz and rock
D.The musical development from jazz to rock
