His golden hair, stately manner and air all combined to make him the admiration of the world. A beautiful girl, by the

11、 name of Clytle, was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk she knelt on the ground, her hands outstretched towards the sun god, and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue sky.

It was New Years Eve and the snow clad streets were deserted. From brightly lit windows came the tinkle (发出清脆的声响)of laughter and the sou

14、nd of singing. People were getting ready to bring in the New Year. But the poor little match seller sat sadly beside the fountain. Her ragged dress and worn scarf did not keep out the cold and she tried to keep her bare feet from touching the frozen ground. She hadnt sold one box of matches all day

15、and she was frightened to go home, for her father would certainly be angry. It wouldnt be much warmer anyway, in the draughty attic (阁楼) that was her home. The little girls fingers were frozen with cold. If only she could light a match! But what would her father say at such a waste! Falteringly (迟疑地

16、)she took out a match and lit it. What a nice warm flame! The little match seller cupped her hand over it, and as she did so, she magically saw in its light a big brightly burning stove. She held out her hands to the heat, but just then the match went out and the vision faded. The night seemed black

17、er than before and it was getting colder. A shiver (寒噤) ran through the little girls thin body. After hesitating for a long time, she struck another match on the wall, and this time, the glimmer turned the wall into a great sheet of crystal. Beyond that stood a fine table laden with food and lit by

18、a candlestick. Holding out her arms towards the plates, the little match seller seemed to pass through the glass, but then the match went out and the magic faded. Poor thing: in just a few seconds she had caught a glimpse of everything that life had denied her: warmth and good things to eat. Her eye

19、s were filled with tears and she lifted her gaze to the lit windows, praying that she too might know a little of such happiness.She lit the third match and an even more wonderful thing happened. There stood a Christmas tree hung with hundreds of candles, glittering (闪烁) with tinsel (金属箔) and colored

20、 balls. “Oh. How lovely!” shouted the little match seller, holding up the match. Then, the match burned her finger and went out. The light from the Christmas candles rose higher and higher, then one of the lights fell, leaving a trail behind it. “Someone is dying,” murmured the little girl, as she r

21、emembered her beloved Granny who used to say: “When a star falls, a heart stops beating!” Scarcely aware of what she was doing, the little match seller lit another match. This time, she saw her grandmother. “Granny, stay with me!” she pleaded, as she lit one match after the other, so that her grandm

22、other could not disappear like all the other visions. However, Granny did not disappear but gazed smilingly at her. Then she opened her arms and the little girl hugged her crying: “Granny, take me away with you!” A cold day dawned and a pale sun shone on the fountain and the icy road. Close by lay t

25、 called Hamelin. The citizens of Hamelin were honest people who lived contentedly in their grey stone houses. The years went by, and the town grew very rich. Then one day, an extraordinary thing happened to disturb the peace. Hamelin had always had rats, and a lot too. But they had never been a dang

26、er, for the cats had always solved the rat problem in the usual wayby killing them. All at once, however, the rats began to multiply.In the end, a black sea of rats swarmed over the whole town. First, they attacked the barns and storehouses then, for lack of anything better, they gnawed（啃）the wood,

27、cloth or anything at all. The one thing they didnt eat was metal. The terrified citizens flocked to plead with the town councilors（委员会）to free them from the plague of rats（鼠疫）. But the council had, for a long time, been sitting in the Mayors room, trying to think of a plan. “What we need is an army

28、of cats!”But all the cats were dead.“Well put down poisoned food then”But most of the food was already gone and no poison stopped the rats.“It just cant be done without help!” said the Mayor sadly.Just then, while the citizens milled around outside, there was a loud knock at the door. “Who can that

29、be?” the city fathers wondered uneasily, mindful of the angry crowds. They gingerly opened the door. And to their surprise, there stood a tall thin man dressed in brightly colored clothes, with a long feather in his hat, and waving a gold pipe at them.“Ive freed other towns of beetles and bats,” the

30、 stranger announced, “and for a thousand florins, Ill rid you of your rats.”“A thousand florins!” exclaimed the Mayor. “Well give you fifty thousand if you succeed!” At once the stranger hurried away, saying, “Its late now, but at dawn tomorrow, there wont be a rat left in Hamelin!”The sun was still

31、 below the horizon, when the sound of a pipe wafted through the streets of Hamelin. The pied piper slowly made his way through the houses and behind him flocked the rats. Out they scampered from doors, windows and gutters (沟), rats of every size, all after the piper. And as he played, the stranger m

32、arched down to the river and straight into the water, up to his middle. Behind him swarmed the rats and every one was drowned and swept away by the current.By the time the sun was high in the sky, there was not a single rat in the town. There was even greater delight at the town hall, until the pipe

33、r tried to claim his payment. “Fifty thousand florins?” exclaimed the councilors, “Never”“A thousand florins at least!” cried the pied piper angrily. But the Mayor broke in. “The rats are all dead now and they can never come back. So be grateful for fifty florins, or youll not get even that”His eyes

34、 flashing with anger, the pied piper pointed a threatening finger at the Mayor.“Youll bitterly regret ever breaking your promise,” he said, and disappeared.A shiver of fear ran through the councilors, but the Mayor shrugged and said excitedly, “Weve saved fifty thousand florins!”That night, freed fr

35、om the nightmare of the rats, the citizens of Hamelin slept more soundly than ever. And when the strange sound of piping wafted through the streets at dawn, only the children heard it. Drawn as by magic, they hurried out of their homes. Again, the pied piper paced through the town, this time, it was

36、 children of all sizes that flocked at his heels to the sound of his strange piping. The long procession soon left the town and made its way through the wood and across the forest till it reached the foot of a huge mountain. When the piper came to the dark rock, he played his pipe even louder still

37、and a great door creaked open. Beyond lay a cave. In trooped the children behind the pied piper, and when the last child had gone into the darkness, the door creaked shut. A great landslide（山崩）came down the mountain blocking the entrance to the cave forever. Only one little lame boy escaped this fat

38、e. It was he who told the anxious citizens, searching for their children, what had happened. And no matter what people did, the mountain never gave up its victims. Many years were to pass before the merry voices of other children would ring through the streets of Hamelin but the memory of the harsh

41、est in the region. But the songs of Han Hong, a Tibetan-born young song-writer, are particularly beautiful because theyre based on her own experiences and knowledge of the culture.

44、 receive professional vocal training in a childrens chorus (合唱团). This was just the start of the long way in pursuit of a professional musical career.

45、gh. She also writes her own music. She started composing songs in 1993, without having had any professional training. Maybe this helped her form her own style, which has become popular with so many listeners. Quite a number of Han Hongs songs combine elements of classical Tibetan folk music with pop

46、 music. Her songs have thrown a light on the mysterious and rich culture of Tibet and caused a lot of interest. The song Brilliant Rays on a Snowy Landscape (雪域光芒) is one of Han Hongs early works, which conveys the vastness (广博) and beauty of Tibet. It swept various pop song billboards across China,

He had to split his time and energy into earning money, looking after Chenchen, treating his father, and educating himself. He took on a lot of part-time jobs,

51、 such as selling instant noodles（方便面）, selling ball-point pens, books, potatoes, and so on. “Many people looked down upon me for selling then,” Hong recalled, “But I didnt care.” After his stories were known by the public, he received a large amount of donation. He thought he himself had passed the

52、worst time and there were many other people who needed help much more than him. “I think it is more important for a man to support himself and be strong. I want to be such a man, who brings opportunities to other people instead of myself.” He tried his best to return all of them. He put those from t

55、e of the most important figures in the history of jazz. In the 1920s, this trumpeter, singer and bandleader began exploring the boundaries of jazz technique and style. Masters of jazz today admit their debt to this pioneer.Armstrongs gift was obvious from the start of his career. His earliest record

56、ings first with a band led by his former teacher, Joe “King” Oliver, and then with his own band earned Armstrong international fame for technical originality. He freed his playing from the ordinary rhythms (节奏) of early jazz by creating musical phrases that seemed to go against the pulse of a song,

57、only to combine them in the place later. His deep and rough voice became as special as his cornet (短号） playing, especially in his scat performances. Scat is a singing style in which meaningless syllables (音节) are repeated without preparation. Armstrongs scat was among the earliest ever recorded.By 1

58、930, Armstrong had turned to more commercial, less experimental jazz. Some musicians criticized him for this. But others insisted that the real power of Armstrongs art lay in its grace and sensitivity, fine qualities of the heart which remained in his music.In the following years, Armstrong traveled

American Breakfast美国早餐Popular breakfast foods in the United States, as in many other countries around the world, include coffee, milk , j

61、uice, eggs, and bread. Some other breakfast items served in the United States are thought by many to be traditionally American. However, they actually come from other cultures. A very popular breakfast food in America is the pancake- a thin , flat cake made out of flour and often served with maple s

62、yrup. The idea of the pancake is very old. In fact, pancakes were made long ago in ancient China. Bagels, a round thick bread with a hole in the middle , are also popular for breakfast in America. Polish people in the late 1600s came up with the idea for the first bagels and this new kind of bread s

63、oon took off across Eastern Europe. In the late 1800s, thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe travelled to the United States and brought the recipe for bagels with them. Today, New York bagels are said to be the best in the world. Many people have them with cream for breakfast on the go. Doughnuts (usually spelled “donut” in the United States) came from France. They were served to American soldiers in France in the World War . After the war, American soldiers asked cooks in the United
