Passage3
Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to
learnhow to sing. His school in Yonkers–––– just north of New York City didn't offer the
musicinstruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.
Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79) But private lessons were too
expensive. 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he
begansearching after- school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School
of theArts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far
fromYonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.
That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takessinging,
dancing. or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80) Last performed inseven
productions.
Like Jayden. students in many communities across the United States have limited access

bridgesthis gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐

funding andeventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and
other publicsources already provide finding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.

high-povertyneighborhoods
