9．No one knows exactly when jazz was invented，or by whom．But it is said that it began in the early 1900s．
     Jazz was a new kind of music，for America and the world，and New Orleans was its birthplace．
     Who were the jazz pioneers？Most were blacks．This music was not written down，and at first only blacks played it．It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style．But soon they，too，were playing jazz．
     The popularity of this music spread．From New Orleans，it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago，then  to Kansas City and New York．By the 1920s，there were many jazz musicians，both black and white．Many of them were famous．One man was better than the rest．His name was Louis Armstrong．

     Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans．His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read．When Louis was still a kid，his parents separated，and Louis lived with his mother．How hard  their life was can readily be imagined．And yet Louis smiled through everything．He later wrote，"My whole life has been happiness．Life was there for me and I accepted it．Whatever happened has been beautiful to me．I love everybody．"

8．Do you still remember the great snacks in your childhood？Do they remind you of your happy childhood？
Sugar Figure（糖人）

In the old days，you could always find people making sugar figures at the school gate．First，the maker would take a little maltose（麦芽糖）with a small spoon，using his hands to make a figure，such as the Monkey King，the White Dragonet，and soon．It was not expensive，only 1 yuan for one．If one child bought a sugar figure，many other children would crowd around and admire it．
Dada BubbleGum（泡泡糖）

Almost every kid is fond of bubble gum．They often gather together to see who gets the largest bubble．I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke，covering her face with gum!It was cheap．I could get 2 for 1 yuan．
Baby Face Ice-Cream

We prefer to call it snowman ice cream．It tastes very delicious．It was rather expensive； I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece，which was not easy for me to buy them those days．Each time I got one，the happiness would last for several days．
Malt Sugar Candy

Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China，and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival．It's delicious but cheap，and you  could get five pieces for 1yuan．My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar．What happy time!

7．"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence．"That's an old saying in English．It means other places often look better，more interesting than the place where you live．Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way．They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and，instead，buying Japanese cartoon books，watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays．
Foreign books and soap operas are good，but Chinese writers and actors are just as good．As for holidays，Christmas is nice，but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has，and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Autumn Festival．And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best：its friendliness．Not all countries are as warm as China．
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them，but they cannot replace your own culture．It's good to look on the other side of the fence，but make sure you take a good long look．You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence．
