Jazz is a type of music. Some people say that jazz is America's only true art form. That's because it began here. Hundreds of years ago, black people worked as slaves (奴隶) and made up songs to pass the time. It wasn't called jazz then, but the way the slaves were playing and singing music was special.

The music of America's black people began to be called jazz in the early 1900s.

What makes jazz special is improvisation (即兴创作). That means making the music up on the spot (当场). No music in front of you. No long discussion with other people in your band.

"It's free. It's beautiful," says Geoffrey, a sixth-grader at Stratford Landing Elementary School. Geoffrey is such a good musician that he has performed at the Kennedy Center.

Geoffrey says, "It's easy to express your feelings through jazz. You are more focused on being creative and using your imagination in jazz."

Washington DC is a very important place in the history of jazz. It has a famous jazz piano player: Duke Ellington.

Born in Washington in 1899, Ellington as a child wanted to play baseball instead of the piano. But his parents played the piano, so he started playing the piano when he was seven years old.

In 1920, he played small shows at the Howard Theatre. When he was 24, he moved to New York, but he didn't forget his hometown. He called his band the Washingtonians and later he returned to perform at the Lincoln Theatre.

Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America. The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9,980,000 square kilometers and six of the world’s 24 time areas (时区) as well.

There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English as their language. About 25% of the Canadians speak French. In one province of Canada where French is the common language, the programmes on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all in French. Today, Chinese has become the first inofficial(非官方的) language in Canada.

Canada’s climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In summer, the southern provinces often experience high levels of temperatures that can reach over 30℃ regularly. The weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with snow for half a year. As the cold northern climate, only one-fifth of the land is suitable for farming.

As it is known to all, Canada has one-third of the world’s supply of fresh water. It has many great lakes. There are five great lakes in the south. And there are many others, especially in the north. It is also rich in natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to produce energy.

People of northern Canada are called Inuit (因纽特人), who came from Asia and settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled their baggage. Now, they seldom move. There are about 2,500 Inuit in all. The government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for more centuries.

1.How many people are there living in Canada?

Monarch butterflies(帝王蝶) from the eastern part of North America make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this tiny creature(生物) travels up to 3,000 miles(4,800 kilometers) to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far? And what is the purpose of its long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an explanation.

The length of the butterflies’ trip is only one part of the mystery. The other amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same place in central Mexico. How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation of Monarchs is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces, and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two to five weeks. In the fall, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. Compared to its parents, this generation has a long life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their children will be the first generation of the next circle. How amazing it is!

Hundreds of years ago, no dandelions (蒲公英) grew in North America. Then people

came from Europe.They had dandelion seeds on their clothes. The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then, dandelions have spread all over.

Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers are pretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.

Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold, their leaves may stay green.

When the spring arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close

up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen (花粉) from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal (花瓣). When the wind blows,　 the petals float away.

Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over.

New dandelions grow where the seeds land.

1.The underlined word “weeds” means　　　　 .

A. pretty flowers　　 B. fresh vegetables　　 C. wild plants　　 D. green trees

2.When is the best time to pick dandelion leaves to eat?

A. After their flowers come out.　　 B. After their flowers turn white.

C. Before their flowers come out.　　 D. Before their flowers close up.

3.What is the best title for this passage?

A. The History of Dandelions　　 B. Dandelions: Flowers or Food

C. The Use of Dandelions　　 D. How to Grow Dandelions

The Inuit people of North America used to be called Eskimos.1. Their lives have changed a lot in 30 years.

The Inuit people used to live in igloos （冰屋）in winter, but today, many of them live in houses in small towns. They used to hunt seals （海豹）.2. Many of them still wear seal-skin clothes today because they are very warm. Remember, the weather is very cold for many months of the year.

Mariano Tagalik, a 65-year-old Inuit, told us a little about her past life. “Our

To move over the snow, Inuit people wore special snowshoes on their feet.4.These machines can travel long distances（距离）in a short time. In the past, it took them days or weeks to travel the same distance.

5., and they learnt everything from their parents. Now, like all North

Americans,they go to school for about ten years. Life is not as hard as it used to be，but many of the older Inuits hate modem life and want to go back to the old days.

A. I took off most of my clothes when I was in our igloo
