13、No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s.
Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.
The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong was a born musician. He was not only talented but also hard-working. He also had a good sense of humor and a big, good-natured smile. These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can readily be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it. Whatever happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody.”

14、Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life. Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.
By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of f lying. Among his sketches we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines.
Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor-saving machines like cutting machines.
Leonardo was a strange man. He didn't eat any meat, which was unusual in those times. He never published his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.
We have very little of his work today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.

16、More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle. He walked around, showing off his power and pride.
Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favorite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.
One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over(被……绊倒) Lion’s huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. "How dare you wake me up!" he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed(抓住) Mouse with one paw. "On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal." he said.
Mouse cried out, "King Lion, please spare(饶恕)me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you."
"How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favorite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net. The net scooped him up.

17、 You put a blue lobster (龙虾) in boiling water, and a few minutes later, you take out a red lobster. Have you ever wondered why the lobster changes its color when it is cooked?
Scientists at Manchester University’s school of chemistry in the UK have an answer. They found that a chemical in the shell called astaxanthin (虾青素) causes the lobster’s color to change.
This chemical is red and is in the shells of both raw and cooked lobsters. But in raw lobsters, the redness of the astaxanthin is covered by the dark blue color of another chemical in the shell, crustacyanin (虾青蛋白).The darker color helps lobsters avoid enemies in the wild. And it is likely to have evolved (进化) by natural selection.
However, when heated, the structure of crustacyanin changes. This makes the red color of astaxanthin stand out.
This is similar to the changing colors of tree leaves in autumn. Leaves always contain the pigments that make them red, orange and yellow. But for most of the year, those pigments are covered by the bright green color of chlorophyll (叶绿素). In autumn, when the temperature cools and the sun’s light becomes weak, chlorophyll fades to make these warm-colored pigments visible (看得见的).
“It is a scientific curiosity (神奇), but it may also have important uses in the real world,” said John Helliwell, the lead scientist, to The Daily Telegraph. “It could help people know when food has been cooked properly.”
1.Whose color is red?
A.Crustacyanin.
B.Astaxanthin.
C.Chlorophyll.
D.Pigment.
2.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Raw lobsters have no crustacyanin.
B.Crustacyanin only exists in the shell of dead lobsters.
C.Crustacyanin is a dark blue chemical.
D.Astaxanthin can protect lobsters from enemies.
3.From Paragraph 6 we know that ______.
A.pigment in leaves can protect trees from sunshine
B.chlorophyll disappears because of high temperatures
C.pigments in leaves can be seen all year round
D.chlorophyll fades when sunlight becomes weaker
4.What can we learn from the article?
A.Scientific studies can help people live a better life.
B.No one knows why lobsters change their colors.
C.US scientists discovered the chemical astaxanthin.
D.Some animals change their colors with the seasons.

18、Water pollution happens when waste things from many areas are thrown into rivers,lakes and seas.
Agriculture

Many children were born with birth deformities(畸形).As a result,people lost their,hearing and sight,and thousands of people died in the end.
Sea transportation
When ships transporting oil get damaged on the way,oil spillage(溢出)happens·One major disaster was the Exxon Valdez oil spill.An oil tanker sink off Alaska in 19 and leaked(泄漏)oil into the ocean.To save cost,some ships also poured unwanted oil from their engine rooms into the sea,thus polluting the oceans·

19、Refuse to be phubbers
More and more people are using smart-phones. And Phubbers can be seen here and there. We can use smart-phones to read news, search information, shop online and chat with each other.
But some family members play with their smart-phones while eating with families instead of talking with them. It has bad effects on the relationship between them. Some people look at their smart-phones while walking even riding or driving. It may increase the danger of causing traffic accidents. Some people play with smart-phones before sleeping at night. It’s bad for their health, work and study.
In fact, face-to-face conversations are much more convenient and better than chatting online by phone. Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. But we should make good use of them and try to be “healthy” users rather than Phubbers.下载本文
