A
A loving father lost much weight after being shamed into dieting when he became so fat that he couldn't play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods.
The dad cut out all the fatty foods he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weighs 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris had to take long pauses just to climb the stairs or walk more than a few yards, saying, "The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for the lost time-we do so much together and it is just great."
Before switching to a healthy lifestyle, Chris would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a mid morning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry, and ice cream, and also four pints of beer before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.
Chris said, "At 13, I was 118 kg and I remember a teacher pointing this out to the whole school. From then on I was picked on and bullied(欺负). My weight went up and up. But I now have a new-found freedom. My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it's them that I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight." Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96kg.
1、What was the main reason for Chris losing weight?
A．He was bullied by others.
B．He weighed as much as 172kg.
C．He wanted to switch to a healthy lifestyle.
D．He was too unhealthy to play with his daughter.
2、How long do you think Chris has been dieting?
A．Many years.
B．About 6 months.
C．About one year.
D．Since he was 13.
3、What does the underlined word demolish in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．drink
B．absorb
C．consume
D．destroy
4、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Power of father's Love
B．Harm of Fatty Foods
C．Importance of Health
D．Benefit of Exercise

B
When he was young, Louis Armstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter (小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become today’s jazz.
Armstrong accomplished that with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waif’s Home at the age of 12, after a run-in (小争执) with the police. The punishment turned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.
While at the Waif’s, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the city’s finest musicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did trumpeter and bandleader, King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.
When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrong’s biggest challenge yet — the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise (即兴创作).
Soon, Armstrong’s undeniable talent was getting notice. Even classically trained musicians would come to hear the incredible sounds this young man created.
Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explains that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.
Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to join Fletcher Henderson’s band and then flew solo. In 1925, Armstrong put together the Hot Five, expanding his popularity even more. Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording blends (混合) artistry, endurance and showmanship that has rarely, if ever, been matched in Jazz.
1、What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the second paragraph?
A．To play dance music.
B．To work with Buddy Bolden.
C．To create modem jazz music.
D．To play a jazz instrument well.
2、Who taught Louis Armstrong how to play music in the early time?
A．Buddy Bolden. B．Lil Hardin.
C．Cornetist Freddie Keppard. D．King Joe Oliver.
3、Why did Louis Armstrong Leave King Oliver’s band?
A．Because he wanted to get married in New York.
B．Because the man forced him to leave the band.
C．Because he got a better opportunity in New York.
D．Because his talent could not develop completely.
4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．It asks readers to know more about modern jazz.
B．It introduces one of the greatest jazz musicians.
C．It introduces the development of jazz.
D．It describes the importance of talent in playing jazz.
