Like most families living there, we stayed in a two- bedroom suite. We were living from paycheck to paycheck, so when Christmas approached, we didnt know if we could be able to purchase gifts for our children.A few days before Christmas someone dropped off presents for all the kids that lived in the motel. It brought so much joy to all the children, most of whom knew that they wouldnt be receiving anything.Five years ago, we moved out of the motel. After that, my husband and I were working hard at the Joes Crab Shack to support our family. A few days before Christmas, I was working a “big top” and a single table. The man at my table could see that the large table was taking most of my time, but I was very patient and friendly. Between drinks and food I was able to chat with him about his family and mine. He left me $10, then walked out. About 10 minutes later, I turned around and there he was again. He gave me a hug, and put something in the side of my coat, telling me “Have a Merry Christmas”. I reached into my coat and pulled out $800.I was so moved by his generosity that I burst into tears. He had given me more than enough money to help my family catch up on our bills. After discussing what we should do with the money we had left over, we decided to buy presents for the families living at the motel, so we could pass on the blessing that we had received. Since then, it has been a tradition for us to give Christmas gift to the families in need.Last year we were able to give presents each of the 80 children at a school in our munity, and throw a Christmas party for them.

But when former South African president Nelson Mandela advised two dozen local youth leaders in Los Angeles to take education seriously, his audience was listening.The famed old man said to the young people that if they expected to improve the lives of others in the future, they must work at improving their own lives now. Education is one 6f the most important weapons you have,” Mandela advised. “It will place you in a far better position to serve yourself and your munity.”“The point is, he was young once and rebellious(叛逆的)once and he kept his dream alive, just as you each have dreams,” explained South Africas ambassador to the United States, Sheila Sisulu, as she introduced Mandela to the young crowd.Asked for specific advice about changing society by 21-year-old Ahmed Younis, Mandela suggested that somehow helping arouse more American interest in foreign affairs might be a start.There is an impression that Americans, in general, have not followed international developments properly, Mandela said. “Im not making that statement myself, but there are serious political analysts who say Americans are not well informed as to what has happened in the world.”22-year-old Omari Trice said Mandela left him full of enthusiasm. “ Hes a person who set the tone for an entire nation, said Trice. “You e away feeling you need to be a superman in order to get things done.”8.

He created electronic tools so that people could use puters as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.In 1957, Max Mathews wrote the first puter program that enabled a puter to create sound and play it back. At the time, he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. His puter program was called Music. It enabled a large IBM puter to play a seventeen-second piece of music that he had written.The puter was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the music notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a puter “sing” the song Daisy Bell on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book “xx: A Space Odyssey,” which was later made into a movie.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how puters could help musicians outside recording studios.Max Mathews had a long and productive career. He worked with posers like John Cage and Edgard Varese. He helped create a center for research in puter music in Paris. And he taught at the Center for puter Research in Music and Acoustics in Stanford University in California.Mathews believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of puter music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin, but with a puter, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He said he did not want puter sounds to replace live music. But he said he hoped laptop puters would one day be considered serious instruments12. How did the program Music work according to the passage?A. It made sound and play it on a puter.B.
