“I was looking thinking of what to buy, and I to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she for Christmas was a doll. So I took the card off the tree and the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”

Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames. Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.

Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years 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 (短號) at a boy’s 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 on the Mississippi River. 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. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. 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 the American popular song.

His cornet playing had a 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 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 a musician of much influence

C. showed an interest in music

D. traveled to play modern music

A. by space B. by examples

C. His music was popular with his listeners.

D. He learned popular music at a boy’s home.

Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food that we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space, The unit of radiation is called “rem” Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage. A person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and , during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated(積累) a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

1.In which way is the atmosphere necessary to man according to the first paragraph?

A. It screens off the falling meteors.

B. It provides enough light for plants to grow.

C. It supplies the heat necessary for human survival.

D. It protects him against the harmful rays from space.

2.We know from the passage that .

A. exposure to even tiny amount of radiation is fatal( 致命的)

B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming

C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration

D. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage

3.The underlined word “deformed” probably means .

A. badly-shaped B. weak

C. naturally-grown D. ugly

4.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. the Apollo mission was very successful

B. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren

C. protection from space radiation is no easy job

D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity (多樣性；差異) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.

The early immigrants（移民）who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892. Frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism(個人主義), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage（遺產）of America.

In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture was formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism(多元化); almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.

Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.

1. We can learn from this article that ________.

A. the population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups

B. the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture

C. people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture

D. the American family members don't get along well with each other

2. What's the author's attitude towards American culture?

A. He is critical of it.

B. He admires it very much.

C. He just states the facts.

D. He looks down upon it.

3.The last paragraph is about________.

A．the family structure in American society
B．the influence of the three elements in the current American society
C．the new life style of American family
D．the reason why American people like to change residences

4.What might be the most suitable title of this article?

A．The Immigrants in America

B．Why American Culture Is Unique
C．The Influence of American Culture

D．Plural Religion and American Culture
