There were no seats left when Catherine got on the bus, and she was forced to stand beside a very fat woman on one side and on the other a thin, serious-looking man in dark glasses. There was nothing to hold on to, and the bus was going so fast that if it had not been for the people on each side of her, Catherine would have fallen over. Suddenly she left her bag flipping down her arm but could not manage to pull it up again. “Oh, dear,” she said, “Im losing my bag.” “Dont worry,” said the man. “Ill see if I can get it for you.” Somehow he managed to bend down and pull the bag up round her shoulder again. “Thanks a lot,” said Catherine. “Not at all,” the man spoke hurriedly. “Anyway, “Im getting off in a minute. Youll have more room. ” At the next stop the man and half a dozen people got off. Catherine was at last able to get a seat. She felt tired and hungry so she opened her bag to find the chocolate she had bought in the market.

This is just the beginning for this industry.

At the turn of the 20th century, musicians from all over the country chose the city as their favourite place to show their talents. Jazz music flowed out of the city as the Mississippi River pours into the ocean. Yet，many individuals wonder, why did jazz originate in New Orleans in the United States?One of the reasons is the culture of the people who live in the city. New Orleans has been a city with a number of immigrants from Europe and Africa. In the 1800s, African slaves in New Orleans blended their native styles of music with local music and European sounds to create a unique mixture. At the same time, blacks learned to play musical instruments that Europeans brought with them to the New World. One instrument that they were especially interested in was the violin. They combined African music with the violin and created dances that blended with the sounds they produced. Eventually, black musicians developed the jazz movement. New Orleans was at the forefront(最前沿) because it was home to a number of people of African Americans. And New Orleans was one of the few places where musicians could make a living. In the early stages of jazz, there were a number of small clubs in New Orleans where black musicians performed the music as a completely New Orleans invention. Even white audiences went to these clubs for musical entertainment.Just like any form of music, that is associated with a particular area. The origin of jazz was the result of the people living in New Orleans , their ingenuity(创新性) , and the opportunity to display their talents.63. In the early 20th century, New Orleans attracted so many American musicians because _. A. It was the birthplace of jazz B. They came here to study jazz music C. More opportunities were offered here D. It was home to many African Americans64. How many styles of music contribute to the birth of jazz music? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five65. Black musicians developed the jazz movement in New Orleans by _. A. Playing jazz in music clubs B. Performing for white audiences C. Combing jazz with the violin D. Creating dances blending with jazz66. Whats the topic of the passage? A. Black people and the jazz movement B. New Orleans and black people C. The popularity of jazz music D. The birthplace of jazz music D Growing numbers of teenagers would rather be a famous WAG（Wife and Girlfriend who lives a comfortable and easy life depending on her wealthy and well-known husband or boyfriend）like Victoria Beckham than work hard for their success at school. Celebrity culture is affecting childrens lives in a negative way, encouraging drinking and bad behavior among young pupils, according to the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) . Many children believe celebrity status can be achieved by everyone and they have no need to get a good education to do well in life.General secretary of ATL Mary Bousted said the spread of celebrity culture in schools proved an obsession(使人痴迷的事) with the rich and famous in the newspapers, on TV, and the Internet.“Celebrities can have a positive on pupils. They can raise pupils desires and dreams for the future,”she said. However, we are deeply worried that many pupils believe celebrity status can be achieved by everyone. They do not understand the hard work it takes to achieve such status and do not think it is important to be actively engaged in school work as education is needed for a celebrity status.Celerity culture can keep alive the idea that celebrity status is the greatest achievements and supports the belief that other career choices are not valuable. It worsens the sense of failure and self-respect when celerity status is not achieved. People are called on to encourage positive role models of ordinary people across the media(媒体).One ATL member, Julie Gilligan, from a primary school in Alford, said, I have seen and heard negative behavior in the playground and in school_ including worrying act which is not suitable for young girls in school shows. One girl even said that she wished to be a ATL67. A WAG refers to be a woman _. A. Makes her living all by herself B. Depends on her husband or boyfriend to live a good life C. Helps her husband or boyfriend to succeed D. Would spend money for her husband
