The Grammy Awards will be presented on Tuesday, March 1st. The National Academy of
Recording Arts and Sciences presents the Grammy Awards each year. The awards go to the most
successful people in the recording industry. Recording artists, song writers and technicians
organized the academy more than 30 years ago. They wanted to recognize excellent musical
recordings and those who create them. Academy members vote to choose the best work of the
year. There are now more than 70 awards. They include "Album of the Year", "Record of the Year",
and "Song of the Year". The Grammy itself is a small gold statue. It is shaped like earlier record
players called gramophones. The word "grammy" is a short way of saying "gramophone". This
year British singer Sting is nominated for six Grammy Awards. These include "Album of the Year",
"Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year". He also is nominated for "Best Pop Male Singer" for
this song If I Ever Lose My Faith in You ... (singing) Another singer nominated for more than one
Grammy Award this year is Billy Joel whose nominations include "Album of the Year" and "Record
of the Year". He also is nominated for "Song of the Year" for River of Dreams ... (singing) Two
recordings by country singer and song writer Mary Chapen Carpenter are nominated for "Best
Country Song of the Year". We leave you with one of those songs. It is called "The Hard Way" ...
Part IIKaren Kain—a Canadian ballerina
Karen Kain: Well, I actually saw Celia Franka dance, and now she founded the National Ballet of
Canada. And she was dancing in my hometown — Giselle, and I was taken for my
birthday, and I saw her dance, I fell in love with it, and I started taking ballet lessons,
and then at one point ... I think it was around ten ... my teacher said that I should
audition for the National Ballet School, which is a full-time academic and ballet
training facility here in Toronto. It's one of ... I think it's the only one in North
America. I mean, it's the same set-up as the Paris Opera, the Bolshoi, the
Leningrad ... you know, that they have the school affiliated with the Company. And
you take all your academic training as well as your dance training.
So she told me that I should audition for that, and I did. And when I was eleven
years old I went to the ballet school for seven years till I was eighteen, graduated
from high school and I joined the National Ballet.

Karen Kain:
Now you were married fairly recently, weren't you?
It'll be three years next month, yes.
Is touring and so forth hard on married life? I believe your husband's an actor, isn't
Yes, he is.
So you're probably both away quite a lot.
We've been very fortunate. We've managed to stay together most of the time. The
longest we were separated was when I was on tour with the National Ballet in
Europe last spring, and I was gone for six weeks, and he was making a television
series and he was in Australia for six weeks. So we have been separated a few
times, but most of the time we manage to be together. We've just been very
fortunate.
Throughout the year ... how much time do you have off away from the dance?
Very little. I'm trying to make sure that I get one week in June this year, because I
have not had more than two days free since a year ago January. So I've been
working very very hard, and I feel that I really need one week free, you know.

Karen Kain:
How long can a ballerina go on before she should start thinking of retiring?
I hope that I have another ten years at the most to dance.
What would you do after that? Would you leave the ballet completely or go into
teaching, or choreography?
I don't think choreography, I don't think I have any talent in ... you know ... I have
no desire, no talent. I like to teach, I like to coach young dancers. I don't think I
would leave the ballet world entirely, but I may try something else. You never
know. I'm interested in other things and I have done some sorts of musical comedy
work, and I've enjoyed it very much — just to expand myself a little and to look
around. And this Christmas again I'll be playing Cinderella in an English pantomime
— which is great fun for me. I really have fun and it's not serious dancing, you
know, and I get to speak and act and everything. So I don't know. I would also like
to have a family, so I have lots of things that I may do.
Part III“The Scream”
Tom Boyd:
Karen Kain:
A.
This picture is "The Scream" by Edvard Munch, and it's a very powerful picture, it's in black and
white as, as you see it here. And um I think it's particularly powerful because mainly because of
that figure who um, who is, who seems to be running off this bridge here holding his or her head
in her hands and screaming. And um, what's very interesting about the picture are the two, the
two figures at the end of the bridge or further up this road. And it's difficult to understand
whether the person is running from them or whether they're just er innocent bystanders.
Um, so the reason I, like this picture, the reason I find it powerful is because I think that the
person is not actually running from the two dark figures at the end of the bridge, but in fact the
person is suffering er perhaps some kind of terrible loneliness or sadness, and is, actually seems
to be trying to hide that feeling from those people. And I think this is a common feeling, this is
something which we all do sometimes when, when we feel some feeling, usually a bad feeling,
something like loneliness or terrible unhappiness, we don't want other people to see that, and er
so we, we have to try and hide that feeling from, from other members of the, of the public. And I
feel that's what this man or woman is doing in the picture here.
B.
As a design, the picture's very strong as well. The, the bridge or the street is a very strong
diagonal line which goes through the, the picture. And then to the, to the right of the screamer's
head there's a series of dark vertical lines — it's difficult to know what that is, perhaps it's a field
or maybe it could be a wall, it's difficult to know exactly what it is, but those dark vertical lines
somehow depress the picture, which is exactly what the artist wanted. And then at the, at the
top, you have the sky, which the artist has, has er made in the form perhaps of clouds, which are
very strong horizontal lines, very, very bold black lines which again seem to push the whole
picture down, and add to the depression of the, the experience which the, the screamer is er, is
feeling.
Part IVMore about the topic: The Oscar Award and Others
Oscar is a trademark used especially for any number of golden statuettes awarded annually by a
professional organization for notable achievement in motion pictures.
In the spring of 1929, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made its first
presentation of annual awards for excellence in motion pictures, giving the awards that year for
pictures released in the 1927-1928 seasons. Up to that time the award, a ten-inch gold-plated
bronze statue of a man with his arms in front of him resting on the handle of a sword, was known
only as "the statuette".
On her first day of work as a librarian at the Academy in 1931, Margaret Herrick, on seeing
one of the statues on the desk of an executive and being told that the statue was the Academy's
"foremost member", remarked, "He reminds me of my Uncle Oscar," referring to Oscar Pierce, a
Texas fruit and wheat grower (who in reality was her mother's first cousin). What happened next
ranks with the best of Hollywood stories. A Hollywood columnist overheard Mrs. Herrick's remark,
and the next day his column made the statement: "Employees have affectionately dubbed their
famous statuette 'Oscar'." Mrs. Herrick, who later became executive director of the Academy,
regretted very much the remark she made in a mad moment of whimsy.
Later, professional organizations in the other arts have also followed the lead of the Motion
Picture Academy. In 1947 the American Theater Wing instituted the annual Antoinette Perry
Awards for outstanding achievement in the theater. The awards were named after the actress
and theatrical director Antoinette Perry. The awards have always been known as the Tonys, after
the nickname of the actress-director.
In the field of popular literature, the Mystery Writers of America annually award the Edgars
for excellence in mystery writing. The trophies are miniature busts of Edgar Allan Poe, who is
regarded as the father of the detective story. Not to be outdone, the World Science Fiction
Convention annually presents its Hugos for achievement in the field of science fiction. The
trophies, which are silver-plated miniature rocket ships, honor the memory of Hugo Gernsback,
who was an American editor, publisher, inventor, and founder of Amazing Stories, the first
magazine devoted to science fiction.
Part V Do you know…?
Speaker 1: The music director of the New York Philharmonic — Kurt Masur recently walked off
the stage during a performance because of what he called uncontrolled coughing from
the audience. Masur said the noise was so bad that it was distracting the musicians
from what they were playing. It was the third movement of Shostakovich Fifth
Symphony. Masur has on previous occasions expressed his objections to coughing
from the audience. He's even stopped the music briefly when he thought there was
too much audience's noise. But this time he left the stage at the Avery Fisher Hall in
New York City for about two minutes. The audience applauded and they applauded
again when he went back on stage. Kurt Masur says, "I didn't want to get angry. I just
wanted to make people aware they were disturbing the process of listening." And
some, uh, orchestra conductors in the United States and I … suppose in other
countries as well have even gone as far as to have the ushers hand out cough drops to
people as they entered ...
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I was noting here, had it been the last movement of this Shostakovich
Symphony,the music would have been as arousing as this is or even louder. So I don't
think he would have walked out on that one.
Statements:
1. The music director left the stage because there was too much coughing from the audience.
2. Mr. Masur said too much coughing distracted some audience from listening to the music.
3. Mr. Masur left the stage for about ten minutes.
4. When MrMasur went back on the stage, the audience kept silent.
5. In some countries, before people enter the music hall, the ushers will hand out cough drops to
them.
