moved to Washington.For fifteen years, he taught music at Howard University in Washington.At that
time, not many black musicians were known for writing or performing classical music.Teaching at
Howard gave Duncan the chance to share his knowledge of classical European music with a mainly
black student population. He taught special ways to present the music.These special ways became
known as the Duncan Technique.
Besides teaching, Duncan sang in several operas with performers who were all black.But it seemed
that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist.However, his life took a different turn in the
middle 1930s.At that time, the famous American music writer George Gershwin was looking for
someone to play a leading part in his new work Porgy and Bess.The music critic (评论家) of the New
York Times newspaper suggested Todd Duncan.Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part as
he knew it would not be easy to get it.But he changed his mind.He sang a piece from an Italian opera
for Gershwin.He had sung only a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part.He became famous
because of the part in Porgy

explore the banks of the Missouri River, where she climbed trees and hunted rats with her rifle (步枪).
She also built her own roller coaster(过山车).
The exciting life of the American aviation (航空)pioneer is dramatized in the movie Amelia, which is
due to come out on October 23.
After Earhart paid a pilot $1 to take her up for a short fly in his plane, aviation became her love and
career.
As she later explained, "Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do."
Earhart found herself a flying teacher and started to learn to fly.She took all sorts of jobs to pay for the
lessons and to buy a secondhand plane on her 24th birthday.
In 1932, Earhart flew solo (单人的) across the Atlantic.She became the first woman to make the
solo crossing.She also made a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who
led active lives."Now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done-occasionally what men have not done -thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other
women toward greater independence of thought and action, "she said.
When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge-to be the first woman to fly around the world.However, in midflight, she and her navigator (导航员) disappeared in bad weather.
Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer for both aviation and women.

Liverpool, England, as he accompanied his brother on a walking tour. He was impressed by the park"s
winding paths, open fields, lakes and bridges. Perhaps the most wonderful things of all was that the park
was open to everyone.
A moment beginning in 1840 to set aside park land on New York City"s Manhattan Island had a
successful result in 1856 with the purchase of 840 acres of rocky and swampy (沼泽的) land, bought
with about $5 million in state funds. Olmsted"s chance of meeting with a project organizer led to his
applying for the job of the park manager. In 1857 Olmsted was appointed manager of the proposed
park, and the clearing of the site began.
Calvert Vaux, a British architect, asked Olmsted to collaborate with him on a park design, and
Olmsted agreed. Vaux saw the park as a work of art, while Olmsted saw the park as a place for people
to escape the noise of the city. Together they invented a plan that would give the persons and animals
living in the city a quiet, green park and would also preserve and increase the good qualities of the natural
features of the land. The commissioners voted in favor of Vaux and Olmsted"s plan, and in 1858, the two
became the official designers of New York City"s Central Park.
It took cartloads of topsoil to build Central Park"s gentle slopes, shady glens, and steep, rocky
ravines.Five million trees were planted, a watersupply system was laid, and bridges, arches, roads and
paths were constructed. The park officially opened in 1876, and today, well over a century later, people
still escape the noise of the city in Olmsted and Vaux"s great work of art.
