　　The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. “More! More!” cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn(喇叭) and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago was it? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis' family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis' teachers asked him to be in the school band. “This horn is yours until you leave our school,” his teacher said. Louis' music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn't learn to read music until he was a man.

　　When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent(才能). Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo's horn had as many sounds as ten horns－sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music,” said the man who listened happily. “Yes,” said another man, “he makes that horn speak.” Then the music ended and the crowd cheered. Louis Armstrong spoke with tears in his eyes, “I think, my friends, you can listen to as much jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn't it beautiful how music brings us together!”

根据短文内容选择最恰当的答案。

Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American-
George Washington. Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave. He and his
mother and his grandmother were free. Benjamin's grandmother came from
England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her
boat trip across the ocean . After working many more years, she saved enough
money to buy a farm. Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read
and write and do arithmetic (算术).
Benjamin's neighbour knew that he was clever. They were not surprised
when he built a large wooden clock. He made each piece after studying a small

pocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America. People from
other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle.
        Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker's ability to settle hard problems. He asked Banneker to
help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States-Washington, D.C. Banneker worked hard on
the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings-the Capitol (美国国会大厦) the White House,
and many others-should be built.
        Later, L' Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France
in anger. He took all of the plans with him. The workmen couldn't build without any plans to follow.
        For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed, but Benjamin Banneker
remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again as he had built each piece of his clock.
        If it weren't for Benjamin Banneker, Washington, D.C might look very different from the way it does
today.
