“I didn’t know jazz before; he got me into it,” said his father, Roberto. “ I don’t know how to explain how it 3._____. It’s like the jazz was already inside him.”

听力原文：W: You went to the Grand Concert Hall yesterday?

M: Yes. It was really fantastic.

W: You are crazy about music, aren't you?

M: Yes, I am. It is always my favorite.

W: What type of music do you like most?

M: I enjoy listening to all kinds of music—classical, jazz, rock and roll...but my favorite is pop music.

W: I like pop music, too. But my favorite is still country music.

M: Country music? Then you must know John Denver and his songs.

W: That's right. I'm familiar with all his songs. I like "Country road takes me home" most. Unfortunately, my cassette-tape recorder broke down the other day.

M: Oh, have you thought of buying a new one? Or buying a CD player instead?

W: I've no idea. I don't know which I should choose.

M: A Walkman is easier to carry, but the quality of the sound is not as good as that of a CD player. A cassette often produces annoying "hiss" sounds while playing. This is the reason why I myself chose a CD.

W: I have a question. Nowadays, many digital products like MP3 and MP4 have appeared on the market. Will they replace CDs completely and make them outdated?

M: It is hard to say. You'd better find more information about all these products before making a final decision.

M: It must be the same group! The piano player is seventy-seven, and the trumpet player is eighty years old.
