Lesson 10—Not For Jazz

课文内容：

Not For Jazz

We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord¹. It was made in Germany in 1681. Our clavichord is kept in the living-room². It has belonged to our family for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings³ were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.
