 2.     Papa,  as a son of a dirt﹣poor farmer,  left school early and went to work in a factory,  for education was for the rich then．So,  the world became his school． With great interest,  he read everything he could lay his hands on,  listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown．“There’s so much to learn．”he’d say．“Though we’ re born stupid,  only the stupid remain that way．”He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education．
    Thus,  Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day． Though,  as children,  we thought this was crazy,  it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request． And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned．We would talk about the news of the day;  no matter how insignificant,  it was never taken lightly． Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment,  always to the point． Then came the moment﹣the time to share the day’s new learning．
    Papa,  at the head of the table,  would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,  ready to listen．“Felice, ”he’d say, “tell me what you learned today”．“I learned that the population of Nepal is ..”Silence．
    Papa was thinking about what was said,  as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it．“The population of Nepal． Hmm． Well…”he’d say．“Get the map,  and let’s see where Nepal is．”And the whole family went on a search for Nepal

．
    This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn． Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．
    As children,  we thought very little about these educational wonders． Our family,  however,  was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education． And by looking at us,  listening to us,  respecting our input, affirming our value,  giving us a sense of dignity,  Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher．
    Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators． They were imparting what Papa had known all along﹣the value of continual learning． His technique has served me well all my life． Not a single day has been wasted,  though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful．

 3.     Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day． UNESCO（United Nations Educational,  Scientific and Cultural Organization） recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music,  its significance,  and its potential as a unifying voice across cultures．
    Despite the celebrations,  though,  in the U．S．the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,  and the music has failed to connect with younger generations．
    It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change ________ As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz,  Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz,  make the music more accessible,  and preserve its history and culture．
    “Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite．”Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan．"What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore． It’s actually color,  and it’s actually digital．
    Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost．“The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958． It has to continue to move,  because the way the world works is not the same, ”says Moran．
    Last year,  Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music, ”says Moran．“For me,  it’s the re﹣contextualization．In music,  where does the emotion lie?  Are we,  as humans,  gaining any insight on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?  Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context, ”says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues． Those are the things I want to foster．”

 4.     What makes us happy? 
    There has long been a notion that money buys happiness．However, although“we really, really tried that for a couple of generations, it didn’t work, ”said Francine Jay, author of The Joy ofLess, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life．
    Thanks to a travel﹣inspired revelation（启发）, Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years．“I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exhilarating to get by with just a small carry﹣on bag, ”she told CNN．“I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life．”
    Jay decided to get rid of all her excess possessions and live with just the essentials．“I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things．”
    Jay is a follower of a movement called“minimalism（极简主义）”．Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world．They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply．Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March．
    But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions．Depression with the materialism of our world isn’t new．English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting this was back in I802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote,  “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers．”His preference was to go back to nature．Closer to our own times, the hippies（嬉皮士）of the 1960s also sought to“drop out”of modern life．
    For many minimalists, the key is to unload．Without objects, they“believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that’s where life happens, ”wrote Stuff．
    But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice? 
    “It’s eliminating the excess﹣unused items, unnecessary purchases﹣from your life．Well, I may have fewer possessions, but I have more space…Minimalism is making room for what matters most, ”said Jay．
    And“the real questions”, according to Duane Elgin, a US social scientist, are“what do you care about? ”and“what do you value? ”
    He told CNN．“It’s important for people to realize minimalism isn’t simply the amount of stuff we consume．It’s about our families, our work, our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension．It’s about how we touch the whole world．It’s a way of life．”
