engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather.
To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn"t know how high she was flying. At night,

not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself:"I would never sit back in
a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At
twelve she left home and was in domestic (家庭的) service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas
Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in
New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only
changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff (硬的) to sew and she wanted to keep
busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at a local market and were soon noticed by a businessman
who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in
1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000
pictures: detailed and lively portrayals (描绘) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful
sense of colour and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it." she
said.

But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world"s 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia"s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the
10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There"s no simple way to climb it. There
are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog"s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog"s
story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington"s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years
ago, he set out to walk up to the world"s highest peaks. Finally, he"s done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with
respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,"
said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we"re here at the right time, under the right
circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."
What"s next for a man who can"t stop climbing? "I"m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back
and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who"s climbed the world"s 14 tallest mountains, he will
probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
B. He has been to the top of the world"s 14 highest mountains.
C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.
D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
B. discouraged
C. interested
D. upset
B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D. those who like mountain climbing won"t stop climbing
B. Climbing to the top of the world"s 14 tallest mountains again.
C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.
D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world
of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in
the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, "Jazz and I grew up together."
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy"s home.
In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the
steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music
of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became
respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life,
Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the
American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, "Listening
to Pops just makes you feel good all over." He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known
and most admired people in the world. His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.

Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker. In 1935,
at the age of 17, he came to the United States to study architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 1942, he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy selected Pei to design the Kennedy library. After that he became well-known
all of the world. People named it one of the Ten Best Buildings in the United States. In 1968, Pei started work
on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C.. Over one million people visited the
building during its first 50 days in existence.
Following the East Wing project Pei"s fame has continued to grow widely. In 1983, French President
commissioned (委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the completion of Pei"s glass
pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, "the greatest challenge
and greatest accomplishment of my career." At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has
attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted "third way of making buildings." Avoiding both a
complete copying of traditional Chinese motifs (特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed,
at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent (有说服力的) statements.
Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won
major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world. In 1990, Pei was

establishing the Pulitzer Prizes after death.
Pulitzer was born in Mako, Hungary. At 17, Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army, but was turned
down due to age, bad health and poor eyesight. Disappointed but still with hope, he traveled first to Paris and
then to London, hoping to join the amy there. And he was rejected for the same reasons. Finally, he moved
to the United States in 1864 and served in the Lincoln Amy when he was just 18 until the end of the American
Civil War. After the war he settled in St. Louis Missouri, where in l868 he started working as a reporter for
a Geman-language daily newspaper, the Westliche Post. He joined the Republican Party and was elected to the
Missouri State Assembly in 1869.
In 1872, Pulitzer bought the Westliche Post for $3 000. Then, in 1879, he bought the St. Louis Dispatch
for $2 700 and merged (合并) the two papers as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which remained St. Louis"daily
newspaper. He bought the New York World in 1883, which turned out to be a successful decision, and which
made Pulitzer wealthy. In 1885, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, but resigned after a few
months"service. In 1895 the New York World introduced the first newspaper comlc printed with color. Under
Pulitzer"s leadership circulation (发行量) grew from 15 000 t0 600 000, making it the largest newspaper in the
country. But unfortunately from 1890, Pulitze"s already failing health worsened rapidly and he withdrew from
direct rnanagement of the newspaper, and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or
in New York. At the age of forty, he was struck blind, but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty-
two rnore years.
In 1892, Pulitzer offered Columbia University"s president money to set up the world"s first school of
journalism. But the university turned down the offer. In 1902, Columbia"s new president willingly accepted the
plan for a school and prizes, but it would not be until after Pulitzer"s death that this dream would come" true.
Pulitzer left the university $ 2 million in his will, which led to the creation in 1912 0f the Columbia University
Graduate School of Journalism And up till now, Columbia"s Graduate School of Journalism still remams one
of the most famous in the world.
Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911. He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The
Bronx, New York. In 1917, the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded, as Pulitzer wished to.
In 1989, in honor of his great achievements and contributions, Pulitzer was included in the St. Louis Walk
of Fame.
