That was two years ago.I recall this incident, for yesterday, I was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart jus
49、t outside his garden wall. I had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. As I set there filling my pipe, I suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.I looked over. There stood Sir Henry doing nothing less than a dance of pure unashamed de

55、ng had two famous nicknames（绰号）. Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence（影响）on the world of music. Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was inven
56、ted in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together. ”Armstrong showed a great talent（天赋）for music when he was taught to play the cornet（短号）at a boys home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and
57、 on the steamboats that travelled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal. In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis A
58、rmstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song. His cornet playing had a deep humanity（仁爱）and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes y
59、ou feel good all over. ”He was the father of the jazz style（风格）and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world. 60. Armstrong was called Pops because he _. A. looked like a musician B. was a musician of much influenc

62、ericans may live up to their poor reputation while travelling abroad. But whats more surprising is that many of those surveyed self-identified themselves as ugly Americans and the worlds worst travelers.Those in the U.S. ranked themselves as the worst travellers by a shocking 20 per cent, followed b
63、y 15 per cent saying the Chinese were the most substandard tourists.Americans topped the list as being the worst-behaved travelers in a survey of 5,600 respondents, 4,000 of whom were Americans. Other respondents were in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. But even American respondent
64、s considered their compatriots(同胞) as the worst travelers from a list of 16 nationalities.Canadians and Australians also put Americans in the No. 1 spot. Irish respondents pointed to U.K. residents and U.K. respondents gave Germans the nod. On the other hand, 37% of Americans opted for none of the a
65、bove in answer to the worst-tourists question, displaying more tolerance and open-mindedness than the other nationalities.Other survey questions had respondents admitting pilfering from hotels. Four in ten U.S. survey-takers said theyd stolen something mostly towels (28%) and bathrobes (8%). Other p
66、opular pinched items included pillows, remote controls, Bibles and sheets.Not surprising is that Americans have less time off from work than other nationalities. Americans reported getting 16 days off, compared with 28 days for the Irish, 27 days for Australians, 23 days for U.K. workers; and 21 day
67、s for Canadians.In the travel mishaps department, the most common travel disaster reported by Americans was lost luggage on an airline (21%)； bad weather (21%)； and getting very lost (16%).As for places Americans most want to see, Disney World and Las Vegas made the top 10, but they werent at the to

Chinese were announced as the worlds worst travellers.B. The global worst travellers were announced. C. Disney World is the best
70、 destination to Americans. D. European travellers were the best in the worldDBaby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis
71、 to their preferences.Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were typically boys toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls to
72、ys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys；and could pick whichever toy they liked their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with
73、the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the
74、girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the childrens choice.Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that go while girls get toys they can care for
75、, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer: moving objects, probably through hunting
76、instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the colour of a newborn baby.” 68. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because _. A. baby boys are much more activeB. baby girls like bright colours more C. their parents treat them differentlyD. there is a natural
77、 difference between them 69. Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with _ according to the study.A. a ball B. a teddy C. a car D. a doll70. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Nine-month-old baby boys dont play with dolls at all.B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.C.
78、 The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.D. Parents should teach their babies to share each others toys.71 What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?A. Adults purposely influence their babies preference.B. Babies preference isnt affected by social
79、surroundings.C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted. EA new argument has been put forward as to whether penguins are disturbed by the presence of tourists in Antarctica. Previous research by scientists from Keil Univ
80、ersity in Germany monitored Adelie penguins and noted that the birds heart rates increased dramatically at the sight of a human as far as 30 meters away. But new research using an artificial egg, which is equipped to measure heart rates, disputes this. Scientists from the Scott Polar Research Instit
81、ute at Cambridge say that a slow moving human who does not approach the nest too closely, is not viewed as a threat by penguins. The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop in populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites. However, tour operators have con
