    Known as “wolf (狼) girl” at her school, Alyssa Grayson has spent much of her young life teaching others to protect animals. After starting a wolf club in second grade, Alyssa learned a lot about her favorite 1. Today, she gives speeches about protecting wolves at libraries and schools. She's even spoken at a university. In fact, she's become a wolf 2.

    When she's not teaching others about wolves, Alyssa always 3 at her local animal shelter (收容所). She cleans the dogs and plays with the cats. Back at home, she makes food for the animals and collects things for the shelter. She has even 4 medical care for a shelter dog with her money. Dogs and cats aren't the only animals Alyssa works for. She's also trained as a scientist for FrogWatch USA. Alyssa shows that you're never too 5 to make a difference to animals.

There are seven chickens at my home. I gave them all names and they are my good 1 . You may think that taking care of chickens is 2 , but sometimes chickens have minds of their own. If you show interest in keeping 3 , there are a few things you need to know.

Everything has its order. Chickens 4  have the pecking (啄食) order. The order goes from the strongest, biggest chicken to the smallest, 5  chicken. And it is the ranking (排位) of all the chickens. The chickens 6  this order on their own. Putting chickens together is not easy. You have to make sure they all eat the same food. Otherwise, you have to keep 7  apart.

You must pay more attention to baby chicks. You need to give very good 8  to them, so they can stay 9  and become immune (免疫的). You also need a 10  for them to stay in your house and a special feeder and water holder. 11  you take good care of the chicks, you can get day-old chicks. Also, you should remember to 12  the pen (鸡圈)，so neighbors don't complain (抱怨).

You just have to know what you are doing and always be prepared. Chickens can bring families 13 . They can make family members happy. They are fun and humorous, beautiful and loving. They are also smart. It's amazing how 14  they learn things on their own.

So why not consider 15  some of your own feathered (有羽毛的) friends?

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (据说) 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 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (写) down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (弹奏) jazz. 

The popularity of this music {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (传播). From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (在……以前) the time of the rise of America, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (好) 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 {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (幽默) and a big, good- nature d smile. These personal qualities were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (有价值的) 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 {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (从不) 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 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. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (无论什么) happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody. "
