C. The brief introduction to New Orleans
D. The origin of Jazz
E. The population of the city
F. African people arrived and they brought their own traditions including music.
     1.________
     New Orleans, the city of Louisiana, is one of the most colorful and interesting places in North
America. It is wellknown for its multicultural cuisine(菜肴) and its colonial architecture and is
considered by most experts to be the birthplace of jazz, the one music style that the USA can lay
claim to inventing.
     2. ________
     The city was founded in 1718, at a time when France owned that part of North America. Part of its
diversity results from the fact that it was subjected to many different influences. France sold Louisiana
to Spain in 1763, got it back 40 years later, and almost immediately sold the territory to the USA.
     3. ________
     As the city prospered(繁榮), it became a magnet(磁鐵)for all kinds of immigrants from Europe and
other parts of the USA, and was also the first choice destination of breeding black slaves. The rich
cultural mix led to a relaxed attitude to life and an appreciation of good food, wine, music and dancing.
There were frequent festivals.
     4. ________
     By the end of the 1700s, people of African descent(祖先) made up more than half the city's
population. Many more arrived via the Caribbean and brought with them West Indian cultural
traditions. By the mid18th century, black people  in New Orleans were gathering socially on Sundays
at a special market outside the city, where they were able to remember and practice their traditional
African dance and drumming music. The roots of jazz can be traced to these events.
     5. ________
     Native American musicians then combined their music with the African traditions and bands playing
a mixture of styles began to perform in street festivals. Europeans came to listen and contribute and the
roots of jazz were established. Louis Armstrong, the most famous jazz musician of all time, was
influenced by these rich musical mixtures when he heard them in the early years of the 20th century.

A. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects.
B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life.
C. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability.
D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes.
E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways.
F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life.
 64. _______
As awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way .
65.________
Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don't . ” This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.
66._________  
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.
67.________
Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions(定義)of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation. ”
68. _________
There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.

1.Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment(招募). Years of studying interviewing has made it clear that it is not a very objective process. Personnel officers often hire the person they like best or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well.

2.To get a more objective view,many companies are also using psychological tests,to hire both for relatively routine job and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests,but estimates of test sales in the U.K.for 2001 were over one million.

3.Recruitment can involve steps in two ways. Step 1 is always the same:job application. The company decides whether you might be suitable based on your qualifications and your previous job experience. Step 2 can be screening. A specific test is given at this stage to rule out those who might not be worth interviewing. Some large employers use tests—especially IQ based tests precisely to eliminate the unsuitable. Only those who pass Step 2 go to the interview. Step 2 can also be testing and interview combined. If the company thinks you might be suitable after looking at your application,they ask you to come to be tested and to be interviewed. It is seen very much as part of the same step.

4.Tests claim to be scientific and objective. A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection. People's judgments are often very subjective:whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else. But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would­be employees. If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate,and employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.

5.Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game­like test. You can spend just a little time answering questions of that kind of test,and you can deny the answers and say they are not accurate. But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and eliminated again and again. What can you do to do justice to yourself in tests?Here are three tips:Understand,Analyze,Practice.
