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.

    Yu Rong, a Chinese artist, thinks of a new way to introduce{#blank#}1{#/blank#}ancient story of Hua Mulan in her picture book. In the book, I Am Hua Mulan, she tells the story by{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(combine) paper-cutting with international artistic styles. She places Shaanxi paper-cuts over Western-style pencil sketches(素描){#blank#}3{#/blank#} (create) a typical presentation of Chinese elements (元素), which turns out to be a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(success) and impressive breakthrough.

    Hua Mulan{#blank#}5{#/blank#}story has been told by generations in China, is a fighter from the Northern Wei Dynasty(386-534). As a devoted daughter, she dressed herself as a man to serve in the army{#blank#}6{#/blank#}place of her father. Mulan's characteristics, such as courage, kindness and a disinterested attitude toward fame and fortune, made{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(she) one of the most respected historical Chinese heroines. Mulan's story has been adapted {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(frequent) in modern media, including TV shows, video games and literature. For example, in 1998, Disney produced a film named Mulan, which{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(consider) a great success by critics and the public.

    To better tell the story, Yu Rong takes inspiration from her several{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(visit) to sites of ancient battles and Henan Province's Yuju Opera. After years of preparation, she finally makes this extraordinary work.

    The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic (残奥会)Games brought the world's attention to sport like never before. It was admirable {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(see) a small nation like the UK organize the Olympic for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} third time in modern history.

    Britain probably {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(invent) quite a few modern sports. One is cricket (板球), {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is now played at international level in a dozen countries. Tennis also first became popular here and Wimbledon is one of the four big tournaments every year. Golf{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (suppose) to be Scottish in origin (起源)from a school of the same name.

    Every town in Britain has football, rugby or cricket club (sometimes all three) and at least one swimming pool. Schools have a gymnasium and playing fields with a running track. As British is an island, there are lots of opportunities for practising water sports {#blank#}6{#/blank#} well.

    "Fair play" in British society is as important as {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (win) or losing. Teamwork is also necessary in many areas of professional life. Even so, individualism (个性)and competitiveness make sporting champions. Steve Redgrave, winner of five gold {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(medal) at five Olympic Games, says: "Being {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (confidence)in yourself is the most important in sporting success. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(personal), it is the iron in the mind not the supplements (增补物）that wins medals."
