Throughout the history of music education,many music educators have adopted technology in the classroom.Alice Keith and D.C.Boyle were said to be the first music educators in the US to use the radio for teaching music.Another advocate who promoted the use of technology was Marguerite V.Hood,born on March 14,1903 in Drayton,North Dakota.Hood graduated high school early,at the age of sixteen.She then attended Jamestown College,where she graduated with degrees in romance languages and music.
Hood's professional career led her to Montana in 1923.In 1930,Hood became Montana's second state music supervisor(監(jiān)督員).During Hood's teaching career,the radio was used as an educational tool.Montana received poor radio reception because of the mountain,so Hood created local radio station broadcast because radios were cost effective.Hood began the music education radio broadcast project,Montana School of the Air,in 1937.These broadcast aired weekly on four radio stations and received positive reviews because they allowed students to be reached all over the USA.
The National Broadcasting Company played a major role in music education.It would broadcast musical examples for students in public school.Walter Damrosch directed the radio program,Music Appreciation Hour.Two other popular music broadcast programs were Alice in Orchestralia and the Standard Symphony Hour.These broadcasts were a creative teaching approach which inspirited active listening and music appreciation.Before the birth of radio,listening to music was limited to live performances and the skill of the teacher to play music.
The influence of the radio in the 1930s can similarly be compared to some of today's technology,such as iPods and computers.Technology has become much more widely available in the classroom since the 1930s.Today,children have access to many musical devices(設備) and options that weren't available in the 1930s.In reality,technology has been used in music classrooms throughout the US with the intent to improve the quality of music education for students.

1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔術(shù)般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
(1)Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer
A.to show his magical power

A.He wanted to have tea there.
B.He was a respectable person.

D.He was fully trusted by the family.
(3)Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor.
D.It is forbidden by law.
(4)Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A.He missed the good old days.
