Because of his original performance style and changing the tide of jazz music, he is called "The Giant". The beginning time I listened to his performance was when I was sixteen years old, about twenty years ago from now. Its sound played by Coltrane, that had come from a coffee shop I had just passed by made me be shocked. The sound was powerful and mysterious, so I could not stop my desire to listen to his performance more and more. Since then, I have listened to a number of albums Coltrane performed. Marvelously, even though those albums had been recorded over forty years ago, they have still existed as an important monument in history of music, besides they give me fresh impression whenever I listen to the performance by John Coltrane. Therefore he has been my favorite musician for many years.[ESL290 English Through Literature] p.14-15 Ex. part1-BUnderstanding the Plot1. revealed in half concealing2. to avoid heart attack of Mrs. Mallard3. by train accident4. to prevent bringing sad news by less careful, less tender friend5. paralyzed inability to accept its significance6. spring7. trees were shaking, the delicious breath of rain was in the ari, a peddler was crying on the street, the notes of a distant song someone was singing reached her faintly, sparrows were twittering in the eaves8. early thirties9. wild abandonment10.
