Louis Armstrong, the most influential jazz musicians, is considered great not only because of his {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (achieve) but also because of his personalities.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bear) in a poor family in New Orleans in 1901, instead of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (commit) crimes to get money like some boys in his situation, Louis would sing on the streets in order to earn a few cents from {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (passer-by).However, at the age of 12, Louis was arrested because of firing a gun into the air at a New Year's Eve party. In a school of problem boys, he was taught to play drums and the trumpet, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} enabled him to find work related with music after he left the school.A well-known musician Joe “King” Oliver noticed Louis and began to teach him about jazz.When Oliver left New Orleans in 1917，Louis took {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his job in one of the best bands in town.

    After becoming famous, Louis would introduce his particular style of jazz to enthusiastic audiences while {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (travel) around the United States as well as Europe.Apart from being a famous jazz musician, he was also an unofficial goodwill ambassador who spoke {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (public) about the rights of black people in America. Despite the fact {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he became rich and famous, Louis Armstrong continued to live a simple live in a working-class neighbourhood.He continued playing and recording until July 6th, 1971, when he died in his sleep at his home in New York.He is still remembered as the most {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (distinguish) musician in the early history of jazz.

    Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular not only with{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(grown-up) but also with students. Meanwhile,they also{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(become) a problem for middle schools in the past few years.Some children have got mobile phones{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Christmas or birthday gifts,and more will still want them.

    Many like SMS because it is{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ease) and quick.Some parents felt happy because they could communicate with their children.Some teachers said mobile phone use{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) a distraction（分心的事）to students during school hours and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}also gave them much trouble in their classrooms.Sometimes students might use phone messages{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cheat) during exams.A new study found that some teenagers sending messages in class even hurt their fingers because they can't stop{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(send) SMS.

    Many teachers suggested that students should not have phones at school,but if there was a good reason,they could leave their phones at school office.And even they can use the telephone in the teachers' office instead.Many people think they understand the reason{#blank#}9{#/blank#}parents would want their children to have them,but they agree schools should tell the students{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(use) their mobile phones at proper times.

    In recent years many TV shows have become extremely popular among Chinese audience. Those programs, ranging {#blank#}1{#/blank#} talent or dating shows to reality shows,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (receive) both commercial success and public attention.

Their popularity is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (main) based on simple facts. First, they care about social concerns. Second,  without exception, they explore a perfect balance between the international forms and Chinese expressions.

    Despite apparent highlights,  much room {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave) for improvement. Above all, commercial interests often outweigh  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (education) purposes , causing many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (complain) about the unbearable advertisements. In addition, some sharp remarks,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they are eye-catching, may have misleading effects {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the youth.

    In my opinion, such shows should shoulder more responsibility instead of merely {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain) the public.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} is expected, these programs should be positive in their forms as well as functions. Meanwhile, the media should also safeguard the values of our society.

    On May 9, James Givens was sitting in the car when he{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hear) what sounded like a knock. He turned around only{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(find) a goose pecking (啄) at the car door. This was highly unusual given that the birds normally preferred to observe humans from a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(distant).

But on this day, the goose appeared to be determined to get his attention and didn't stop pecking{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Givens opened the car door and stepped out .Though the bird then began to walk away,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}kept turning around to make sure he was following. When they finally stopped, Givens realized{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the mother goose did so— she needed help to free her baby goose that had got{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(trap) in some balloon string.

    Worried that the mother goose would attack him if he got close{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the baby, Givens called the local SPCA chapter. Unfortunately, they were{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(able) to help right away. Concerned that the baby goose would not survive the delay, Givens decided to take on the task himself.

    The mother goose watched{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(patient) as Givens saved the little bird. As soon as the little goose was free, it ran to its mom. Givens said this was the most unforgettable incident in his life!

    Each year{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(thousand) of tourists visit the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctica. But the increasing number of people traveling to the ends of the Earth can have{#blank#}2{#/blank#}negative effect on fragile ecosystems. Should tourists{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(allow) to visit polar regions?

    About 40,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year. More than five million travel to the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Transporting tourists to the regions{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(increase) ship and airplane traffic, adding to the risk of pollution, oil spills, and other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(environment) damage. Because the places where wildlife is accessible{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) few in number, tourist traffic can become concentrated in specific areas,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (put)Arctic vegetation(植被) at risk.

    Others say that access{#blank#}8{#/blank#}these very special parts of the world should not be restricted to only researchers and scientists. Polar tourism allows people to develop deep {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(person) connections with polar regions. "Those{#blank#}10{#/blank#}travel to the Arctic or Antarctica often become cheerleaders for supporting those places." Jim Sano, vice president for travel and conservation at World Wildlife Fund, told TFK.

Twenty-five years ago, most young British people wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or to take up singing. But today, things stand {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(different).

According to a recent survey, the "dream job" of young people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(age) between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or "vlogger(视频博主)". The survey, carried out among 1, 002 people, found that over 40% of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of dream {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(career).

The change is largely due to the rapid development of information technology (IT). The Internet and social media have made it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(easy) and more convenient to reach a global audience, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

"In the past, the biggest stars {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(make) by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera may become a star, " said Phil Samuels, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} expert from the UK. "From fashion to comedy, these self-made stars interact online with their fans about everyday life. "

However, what people see {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) only the bright side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact {#blank#}8{#/blank#} only those who are successful can gain fame and fortune. Actually, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} every success there are a hundred others who never get off the starting block. This is why some young people still show {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(prefer) for traditional jobs.
