16、gs like the force of a users typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person.

The punishment turned out to be a good luck for him, for while he was in prison ( 監(jiān)獄 ), he also had the opportunity to play in a real band

42、and take lessons on the trumpet. At the Waif's Home, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the Crescent City's finest musicians. Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did the trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read

43、 music and work on his playing skills. When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong wanted to go with him, but chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day, such as Kid Ory and the Dodds brothers. Armstrong also played in one of the most popular marching bands of

44、the day and fine -tuned his ability to both read and write music. In Chicago, King Oliver was following Armstrong's progress closely, and offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrong's biggest challenge yetthe band had no parts written specifically for trumpet. Soon, Armstron

45、g's talent was getting noticed. Even classically trained musicians from Chicago would come to hear the unbelievable sounds that this young man from New Orleans created on his trumpet. Despite all the attention, Armstrong remained number two in Oliver's band. Tired of the limits of following

46、King Oliver, Armstrong put together the Hot Five in 1925, which helped to expand his popularity even more. He recorded his first composition, “Cornet Chop Suey”, with this group.

It warns that the way humans use land is causing the earth's atmosphere to warm f

50、aster and could harm food production. The effects of climate change are already making food more costly and less nutritious ( 有營養(yǎng)的 ) and are worsening food shortages ( 缺乏 ). The scientists write that if humans change the way they eat, grow food and manage forests, it could help slow world temperatur

51、e rises. About 30 percent of the earth's surface is land. But the report says that the land is warming two times faster than the planet as a whole. While heat-trapping ( 吸熱的 ) gases are causing problems in the atmosphere, land has been less talked about as a part of climate change. “The change c

52、ould be worse,” the report says. Agriculture and forestry together account for about 23 percent of the heat-trapping gases that are warming the earth. That does not include energy costs, food transportation and packaging. With those activities added, the amount grows to 37 percent. But land can abso

53、rb heat trapping gases out of the air. From 2009 to 2018, for example, agriculture and forestry each year put 5.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the air. But the land pulled 11.2 billion metric tons out of it. Carbon dioxide is a main heat trapping gas. Scientists have long believed that

54、 one of the few good things about higher levels of carbon dioxide is that plants grow well in such conditions. But many studies show that the high levels of carbon dioxide can reduce protein ( 蛋白質(zhì) ) and nutrients in many crops. The report also suggests ways that carbon emissions could be reduced fur

55、ther. This could be done if humans reduce the amount of red meat they eat and instead eat more fruit, vegetables and seeds. That would also make people healthier. 101 What has not been paid much attention to in the study of climate change? A Greenhouse gases. B Land. C The earth's surface. D Peo

56、ple's lifestyles. 1 How does the land function in global warming? A It takes in a lot of carbon dioxide. B It produces grains less nutritious. C It causes the majority of heat-trapping gases. D It sends off more carbon dioxide than it removes. 2 What is suggested to fight against global warning?

57、 A Growing plants to absorb carbon dioxide. B Planting high quality crops. C Limiting red meat intake. D Producing enough food. 3 What is the text mainly about?
