The trumpet player Louis Armstrong, or Sachem, as he was usually called, was among the first jazz
musicians to achieve international fame. He is known for the beautiful, clear tone of his trumpet-playing and for
his singing voice. Armstrong was born into a poor family in New Orleans. He first learned to play the cornet of
the age of 13, taking music lessons while living in a children's home. As a teenager, he played in a number of
local jazz bands in New Orleans.
In 1922, Armstrong moved to Chicago to play in Joe "King" Olive's band. Two years later, he joined
Fletcher Henderson's band. Then, from 1925 to 1928, Armstrong made a series of records with groups called the
Hot Five, the Hot Seven, and the Savoy Ballroom Five. These records rank amongst the greatest recordings in
the history of jazz.
Armstrong led a big band during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1947, returned to play with small jazz
groups. He performed all over the world and made a number of hit records, such as Hello, Dolly and Mack the
Knife. Armstrong also appeared in a number of movies, first in New Orleans in 1947, High Society in 1956 and
Hello, Dolly in 1969.

The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in many other
countries the elderly usually live with their children's family, many older Americans live alone, without the
close companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the "selfishness" of the younger
generation but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their independent lives.
Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to
be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren, they prefer to continue living in the surroundings
that they are familiar with. This suggests that children should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to,
and should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.
Another surprising result of the research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive
influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly people that they live with. It has been shown that
elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats or dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes,
towards their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
1. Many elderly Americans live______________.
A. without satisfaction B. by themselves
C. a lonely life D. a simple life
2. What do some people see as the cause of this situation?
A. The society of the USA treats its elderly people as troubles.
B. The young people usually trouble the elderly of their own.
C. The government concerns hardly about the elderly people.
D. The young people are too selfish.
3. Many of the elderly Americans want to______.
A. keep living in their well-known places and conditions
B. remain with their grandchildren in their houses

A. keep close'ties the elderly of their own
