Jazz was invented in the city a few years

10、 before his birth. Armstrong often said, Jazz and I grew up together.Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet （短号）at a boys home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled

At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians.Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.In 1922 he went to Chicago.

12、 end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing American popular songs.His comet playing had deep humanity and warmth that caused many listeners to say, Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over. He was the father of the

13、 jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world. His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.1、Armstrong was called Pops because he .A. looked like a musician B. was an influential musicianC. showed an interest in music D. traveled to play modern mus

The Father of the Jazz StyleText 2There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of li

16、fe, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well pr

17、epared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and ma

18、ke themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it

19、may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and

20、 bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.

21、 success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying

22、needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触)with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.1、The phrase “sour the pleasure of society most nearly mean

24、nessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons3、 If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should.A. prevent any communication with themB show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until t

26、 scientists.Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the worlds problems. However, no one really knows what w

27、ill happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientists B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating s

28、omething that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own.

29、 we could be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better withou

30、t humans.Scientists C: Im a member of the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
