13、 Ragtime is a fast and complicated (复杂的) kind of music that was popular around the beginning of the twentieth century. Scott Joplin is now considered to be the most important American ragtime composer and piano player. During his lifetime, Joplin only enjoyed a short period of career success in the early 1900s. However, his work had an important, lasting effect on music-lovers, as well as other composers.
When ragtime first appeared in the late nineteenth century, it was considered a low form of cheap entertainment, not a serious musical movement. Then in 1899, Joplin wrote a ragtime song called Maple Leaf Rag. The song showed Joplin’s creative mix of African. American rhythm and more accepted European American musical styles. It was a huge success and helped to make ragtime popular with the general public. Maple Leaf Rag was the first instrumental work to sell over one million copies of sheet music (乐谱). It was also the first music by an African American to find a large number of fans among European Americans.
Although the general ragtime style already appeared for a long time before Joplin began composing, his work attracted a lot of attention from other ragtime composers of his time. Songs like Maple Leaf Rag influenced these composers mostly because they were very popular with the public. And many of them started to add similar fast and complicated rhythm to their music. Later, composers came to think highly of the high quality of Joplin’s music, which has continued to capture the imagination of many composers and musicians by now. For example, many later jazz musicians were influenced by Joplin’s complicated African­style rhythm. Jazz, in turn, went on to influence many more popular music styles. These include the blues, rock and roll, soul, and even hip­hop. As a result, many music historians now list Joplin’s work as an early basis of all modern popular music.

In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been attacked by a sick dog that had rabies(狂犬病), a very dangerous disease. His doctor tried to help him, but there was no cure for rabies at that time. The doctor told Joseph’s parents that perhaps there was one man who could save Joseph’s life. His name was Louis Pasteur.
When Pasteur was young, he was especially interested in medicine, so he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师）who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day. Pasteur decided that one day he would help people, too.
As a school boy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked the same way. In fact, he was not a slow learner, but a very intelligent young man. He became a college professor and scientist, and he continued to work very carefully
Because of Pasteur’s patience, he was able to make many observations and germs (细菌). Pasteur was studying about the germs that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed that he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he never gave it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but the doctor said the child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种）every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.
During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people and also studied the way to prevent diseases. On September 28, 1895，Louis Pasteur passed away. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.
