Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong began. From then until the 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 cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over. ” He was the father of the 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.

Whether it’s a carol (圣诞颂歌) service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old sing－song this Christmas. Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits—it’s good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.
For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch (音高)．”
Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we’re also having a strong aerobic activity (有氧运动) when we’re singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.
“And communal singing—like in a singing group，a church service or even a sing－song in the pub—helps improve our sense of self－respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included.”
Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self－respect，and it’s great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let your hair down.”
But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.
28．Heart Research UK holds a campaign to________．
A．encourage people to sing for God at Christmas
B．study the effects of singing on people
C．get people to sing and improve their health
D．bring happiness to people during holidays
29．The underlined part “let your hair down” probably means________．
A．feel at ease B．protect yourself
C．dress casually D．cover your nervousness
30．What can we infer from the passage

B．One in a low mood is not able to sing well.
C．Experts have disagreement on singing.
D．Singing is the same as other aerobic activities.
31．Which is the best title of the passage
A．Karaoke—Best Place for Singing!
B．Christmas—Best Time for Singing!
C．Singing—Healthy but Difficult!
D．For Health—Let’s Sing!

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk; as life becomes more complicated(复杂的)it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country western, comes from two lands of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty -four hours a day. English stars sing it in British and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.
32．It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from________.
A．the Northeast and Midwest
B．factories and army camps in the South
C．the Appalachian Mountains and the West
D．real life stories in small towns
33．During World War II many Southerners went to the Northeast and the Midwest because________.
A．they wanted to take music with them
B．they wanted to make other people like country music
C．they wanted to work in the factories there
D．they wanted to make country music popular
34．Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the world today because________.
A．many people said it was low class
B．people could sing it in different languages
C．it started with cowboys and poor Southerners
D．it is loved by different kinds of people in the world

How to Study for a Test or Final
The end of the term is drawing near, and that means final exams are on the
way. 36 The most important thing you can do is to give yourself plenty of time to prepare. Then follow this plan:
Start Early
Gather together all the material you’ve received during the term. Read through your class notes twice. Some things will sound familiar and some things will sound so unfamiliar that you’ll swear (咒骂) they were written by somebody else. That’s normal.
Establish a Study Group or Partner
Schedule at least one meeting time with a study partner or study group. If you can’t completely get together, then exchange email addresses. 37
Use Old Tests
Collect your old exams from the year (or semester) and make a photocopy of each one. Write out the test answers and copy each one again. 38 For the best results, you should make several copies of each old exam and keep taking the tests until you score perfectly on each one.
Build Up Your Class Notes
Organize your notes by date and make note of any missing dates/pages. Get together with a study partner or group to compare notes and fill in any missing material. 39 After you organize your new set of notes, underline any key words, formulas, themes, and concepts.
Make yourself a new practice test with fill-in sentences and term definitions. Print out several tests and practice several times. 40 Then exchange.
Old Assignments
Gather some old assignments and re-do the exercises.
Many textbooks have exercises at the end of every chapter. Review those exercises until you can answer every question with ease.
A. Instant messages will work well, too.
B. Now you have a set of practice tests.
C. How can you give yourself a chance to improve your scores
D. You might find one that makes something clear for the first time.
E. Ask the members of your study group to make practice tests as well.
F. Don’t be too surprised if you missed key information from the lectures.

Keeping a diary in English is an 61 (effect) way to improve our English writing ability.
62 (compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes 63 (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 64 (difficulty). In the first place, 65 often happens that we have trouble 66 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 67 (proper).
As far as I 68 (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. 69 something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is 70 great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.

Whether it’s a carol (圣诞颂歌) service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old sing－song this Christmas. Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits—it’s good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.
For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch (音高)．”
Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we’re also having a strong aerobic activity (有氧运动) when we’re singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.
“And communal singing—like in a singing group，a church service or even a sing－song in the pub—helps improve our sense of self－respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included.”
Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self－respect，and it’s great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let your hair down.”
But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk; as life becomes more complicated(复杂的)it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country western, comes from two lands of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty -four hours a day. English stars sing it in British and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.

How to Study for a Test or Final
The end of the term is drawing near, and that means final exams are on the
way. 36 The most important thing you can do is to give yourself plenty of time to prepare. Then follow this plan:
Start Early
Gather together all the material you’ve received during the term. Read through your class notes twice. Some things will sound familiar and some things will sound so unfamiliar that you’ll swear (咒骂) they were written by somebody else. That’s normal.
Establish a Study Group or Partner
Schedule at least one meeting time with a study partner or study group. If you can’t completely get together, then exchange email addresses. 37
Use Old Tests
Collect your old exams from the year (or semester) and make a photocopy of each one. Write out the test answers and copy each one again. 38 For the best results, you should make several copies of each old exam and keep taking the tests until you score perfectly on each one.
Build Up Your Class Notes
Organize your notes by date and make note of any missing dates/pages. Get together with a study partner or group to compare notes and fill in any missing material. 39 After you organize your new set of notes, underline any key words, formulas, themes, and concepts.
Make yourself a new practice test with fill-in sentences and term definitions. Print out several tests and practice several times. 40 Then exchange.
Old Assignments
Gather some old assignments and re-do the exercises.
Many textbooks have exercises at the end of every chapter. Review those exercises until you can answer every question with ease.
A. Instant messages will work well, too.
B. Now you have a set of practice tests.
C. How can you give yourself a chance to improve your scores
D. You might find one that makes something clear for the first time.
E. Ask the members of your study group to make practice tests as well.
F. Don’t be too surprised if you missed key information from the lectures.
