However, the change was【48】______ (organ) as well as deliberate. Michael Jackson grew into his body, and out of that new body emerged wholly new ideas of what pop music, and the【49】move___it generates, were, it can be hard to remember now, 30 years later, just how ubiquitous the hits from that album, especially "Rock with "You," really were. In soul, in rock n' roll, and in pop, there is a long tradition of men singing in high voices, the height of the voice suggesting the pitch of the singer' s fervour. Michael Jackson made the sweetness of that high voice guttural and【50】______ (demand). He showed that it was rooted in his feet and hips and hands. He re-sexualized it in a way that you could never really mistake—then—as androgynous.
Very few artists—certainly very few child stars—have ever redefined themselves as thoroughly or as【51】______ (success) as Michael Jackson did. His second act was better than any number of first acts put together. The uncanny thing wasn't just his physical transformation, or his hypnotic new ability to move. It was the certainty of ''Off the Wall" and its sequel "Thriller" that this was the music we wanted to hear. He knew, too, that this was a music we wanted to【52】______ (visual) , to see formalised and set loose in dance. In a sense, he was loosing his transformation upon the rest of us , expecting us to be caught up in the【53】excite______the music caused in him, and we were.
Michael jackson came to be synonymous with transformation—ultimately, with an eerie stasis that comes from seeking transformation all the time. The alchemy of change worked longer and【54】______(well) for him—through the'80s and into the early'90s—than it has for almost any other artist. Yet somehow all the changes always take us【55】______ to the album in which Michael Jackson grew up.

One of the most famous sports superstars in the United States was the boxer, Muhammad Ali. As a young man, he won a gold medal in the Olympics as a boxer. Then he became the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. Before long, he was known as one of the greatest boxers in sports history. Once Ali said when he was a champion he was more famous than the president of the United States or the head of any other country in the world.
The word "super" means something that is good, and of course, a star is a person who is famous. So people use "superstar" to describe the top people in sports, films or music. But like the stars in the sky, a superstar disappears as time goes by. Many people, for example, know little these days about Ali or Jackson. Superstars are loved by millions of people today, but often forgotten tomorrow.
Michael Jackson is famous for his______ but Muhammad Ali for his______.
A.films; heavy weight
B.basketball; Olympic record
C.songs; heavy weight boxing
D.voice; Olympic record

DATE: April 22
FROM: Andrew Kim
TO: Robert Dawson
SUBJECT: Grand Opening Ceremony
Hello Mr. Dawson,
It was really pleased to talk to you on the phone earlier today. As I hope I made clear to you, it is absolutely essential that we have the sound system package we ordered set up on time, as per the contract signed last week. Ceremonies begin on April 27 at 6:00 p.m. sharp. Your set-up schedule is to include a complete sound check. We don't need a repeat of last time.
Please note that due to construction, it is impossible to use Gate 1. So please have your trucks arrive at Gate 4, by 11:00 A.M. Our staff will call a construction foreman to escort you to the loading bays. In keeping with safety requirements, ensure your crew is equipped with safety vests and safety helmets, or our staff will ask them to leave the site.
If you have any special electrical needs, please contact Philip Jackson, our plant manager. His cell phone number is 604-555-4123.

SUBJECT: Re: Grand Opening Ceremony
Dear Mr. Kim,
It was good to have spoken to you yesterday in person. I wish to assure you that in my new position here at Perfect Sound I will try to provide you with as seamless a process as possible.
Our sound expert, Michael Johnson, is currently scheduled to arrive at 3:00 P.M. to run the sound check, which we think will give us plenty of time to ensure everything will be up and running by the 7:00 P.M. start time.
I note that our installation personnel will be required to wear safety vests and safety helmets. I think this requirement does not apply to Michael because he is not involved in the actual physical set-up.
As regards electrical needs, I have already e-mailed Mr. Jackson all the necessary information. Please feel free to call me at 556-7658 with any concerns you may have.
Thank you for selecting Perfect Sound!
Sincerely,
Robert Dawson
Vice President
