He became famous as a ragtime (拉格泰姆音乐)composer and piano player. Ragtime music was an early form of jazz. This music has a lively beat and was developed from the music of African Americans.Ragtime became popular in the early 1890s, and the music was played on the piano. The piano player usually made up a melody, then changed it a little bit every time he played. Scott Joplin was very good at composing, or making up music and playing the piano. When he was growing up, Joplin's home was filled with music. Still, Joplin's father did not want him to be a musician. When he was about 14 years old, Joplin left home to travel and start a life of his own. He traveled all over the Midwest playing the piano and composing music. Sometimes he played with music groups. Other times he sang by himself in noisy saloons and bars. In 1899, Joplin wrote Maple Leaf Rag, a ragtime song that became a big hit and earned Joplin the title of The King of Ragtime. In all, he wrote more than 500 songs. Joplin's biggest dream was to compose a ragtime opera. Finally, after 10 years, Joplin completed a ragtime opera which he called Treemonisha. This opera was about a young black woman who became a leader of her people. She tried to help her people gain their freedom and their rights.1916, Joplin became very sick. He had a disease that made him forget things and become easily afraid of things. In 1917, he was put in the hospital. He finally died there on April 1, 1917.

He was a natural inventor.When he finished school, he went to study mathematics at Cambridge University. Later, he got a job teaching at the university. While working there, he designed his "first difference engine”. This was, basically, a hand-operated mechanical calculator.He took nine years to build a part of the machine. This machine can make complex mathematical calculations. It's a basic mechanical computer.Babbage dreamed, however, of more complicated machines. In fact, he didn't only dream; he began to design them. The result was a series of "analytical engines“ which were in fact powerful computers!His designs contained processors, control units, a memory, and an input/output system. These are the four essential parts of a modern mathematical computer!Alas! His "second difference engine couldn't use electricity since this hadn't yet become a usable source of power, so Babbage had to make do with mechanical systems. For this reason, the machine was big, complicated and expensive. Though Babbage produced complete plans for the machine, he couldn't build it. It was too advanced for its age!It was not until almost 160 years later that Babbage's "second difference engine" was finally manufactured. The first working version of this machine was built by the Science Museum in London, for the Babbage bicentenary in 1991. A second machine was then built for an American high-tech millionaire, who put it in the Computer History Museum, in California.Babbage's analytical engines would have used “programs“ like those used in the textile(纺织)industry to make complicated patterns, but they were never built. This brilliant mathematician really was too far ahead of his time!1、Where did Babbage plan his “first difference engine”?A. In LondonB. At high schoolC. At CambridgeD. In Science Museum2、What do we know about his “second difference engine”?A. It took him nine years to build itB , It was far ahead of its timeC. Its deign came out in his dreamsD. Its power source was electricity3、The “second difference engine“ was built to work in 1991.A. for an American millionaireB in memory of BabbageC. to test its ability to use electricityD. for textile industry to make patterns4、What can we infer from the text?A. Babbage's engines didn't run on programsB , Textile patterns are produced with programsC. Babbage can be seen as the father of computersD. Babbage9s analytical engines were never builtText 3You may think that the story of Pygmalion (卖花女,1913) - in which people are judged by the way they talk - is something that only existed in the days of British high society. But thanks to etiquette (礼仪)expert and author William Hanson, we realize that little has changed during the past 100 years.In a BBC radio program, Hanson released a list of common words used in British English that could reveal whether a person is “common" or “fashionable”.And yet here comes the interesting part: While some of us might go through life using fancy words, dressing in ways that make us appear more well-off than we really are, there are wealthy people in the world who try to hide their riches because they want to be seen as “normal“ instead of “showy”.Beatrice, for example, is a New Yorker who inherited (继承)millions of dollars. She told The New York Times that she has a habit of removing the price tags (价签)from her clothes so her house staff don't see them and feel uncomfortable.“We don't want that 'Wow'." said Scott, also a New Yorker, who had just inherited over $50 million. "We're just not the type of people who wear it on our sleeve. 1、What does William Hanson find?A , People failed to judge others? manner.B. People judge others by their way of talking.C.

To avoid making people around her uncomfortable.4、What does "it" in the last sentence mean?A. The price tag.B. The brand label.C , The inheritance contract.D.
