17、ten, produced and performed by all African Americans. Shuffle Along ran for more than five hundred performances. The musical helped launch the careers of several African-American performers, including singers Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson.Eubie Blake wrote other Broadway musicals during his eight

18、y-year career. He also wrote more than 350 songs. The original songs are still on display at the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center.The Center opened in 1978. It was part of an effort to bring cultural arts to young people in the inner city of Baltimore. At the same time, Eubie

19、Blake and his wife Marian were negotiating an agreement with the Maryland Historical Society. They wanted to donate several historically important objects. These included original sheet music and audio recordings of several Eubie Blake songs. They also included personal letters written by Blake and

20、old pictures of him and other famous musicians. And they included the original government document proclaiming February fourteenth, 1973 as Eubie Blake Day in Baltimore.

21、ational Jazz Institute and Cultural Center.B. The great achievements of a famous African-American musician.C. The ragtime music in American history.D.

26、10:00 or later doing homework. Getting teenagers involved in voluntary opportunities can give them a sense of accomplishment that is not connected with sports or school.Teenagers are often in their own little world. Helping them get involved in voluntary opportunities is the perfect way for them to

27、open up a new world and give their time to a good cause.The key to getting teens involved in voluntary work is to find an opportunity that will fit into their schedule and to find something that interests them. Also, keep it close to home. If you have to drive a long distance to volunteer, it' s

28、 less likely to be accomplished.My son has helped out with the local library ' s reading program now for two summers. It is close to home and the schedule is very elastic We go in and choose days that work with his schedule and he volunteers for about 2 hours at a time. He is responsible for hel

29、ping kids get signed up for the summer reading program and helping them record the hours they read. It is only a one-week time commitment, but it is very rewarding.When teens volunteer, they often see that there are others more needy than themselves. They also learn time management. Your teen will b

30、ecome a more rounded, less self-centred individual.Colleges see thousands of students applying for admission every year. If your teen has shown the dedication to volunteer in the community, it could give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities. So, volunteering is good f

33、out as an excellent studentC. scholarship opportunities are only offered to excellent studentsD. one can ' t become an excellent student without volunteering experiences44. The underlined word“ elastic " in the fourth paragraph can be best replaced byA. independent B. tightC. demanding D. f

34、lexible45. Which of the following will NOT be considered if you want to find a voluntary opportunity?A. Whether it can suit my interest.B. Whether it can improve my grades.C. Whether it is near or far from my home.D. Whether it can give me a sense of accomplishment.CIt seems lately that more and mor

35、e of my friends are facing some seemingly insurmountable (难 以对付的)challenges in their lives. A few have lost their jobs and some have failed marriages. Or too many have health issues.I don ' t know if it is desperation that causes them to turn to me for advice. But it is difficult to offer words

36、of hope when all they feel is hopeless. They expect answers, or a roadmap to get them back on their feet again.I have often struggled with what to say. Mostly because I have faced many of the same challenges in my own life, I remember how empty I felt after someone cheerfully offered words like, “Th

37、ings will get better!""It ' s always darkest. “ etc.Now, as an inspiration writer, being thought of as a resource of hope or a good (or bad) example of what to do in life, I have even more people contacting me.So, what do I say?“What can I do, Bob? I ' ve lost my job. What do you s

38、uggest?”a Begin again. ”h Hwalked out on me. My whole world just ended. What should I do?"B Begin again. ”It almost sounds too simple. I imagine in the darkest hours of one' s life those words would seemuseless or uncaring. But it is indeed the answer.All life challenges bring about an endi

39、ngand the chance for a beginning. A failed marriagedoes not mean you are through with love or being loved. It means there are others just like you needing to be loved. Find them.A life-threatening disease does not mean giving up. It means starting a new path to recovery and discovering within yourse

40、lf the ability to fight back and win.And if you are a person of faith, even death does not mean it' s over. It means “to beg46. What is the best title for this passage?A. Begin again.B.

54、za or chips. Teenagers don' t eat what it is best for their physical development and don topay attention to a healthy way of eating. On the contrary, it' s also the case of the girls whoso as to lose weight. They get to suffer from starvation just to be skinny as the models they read about i

55、n magazines or newspapers.3 Secondly, young people nowadays do not spend much time outdoors, walking in the park, going camping or climbing.
