   Night after night, she came to tuck（掖被子）me in, even long after my childhood years. She’d    21   down, push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead.

   I don’t remember   22   it first started making me angry-the   23   that her hands pushed my hair. Finally, one night, I  24   her,“don’t do that any more-your hands are too  25  !”She didn’t say anything in   26  . But never again did my mother close out my day with that   27   expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words  28   me, but I didn’t tell her I was sorry.

   Well,  29   have passed. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and her hands I once thought to be so rough are   30   doing things for my family and me. She’s been our doctor, and always had a way of   31   a girl’s stomachache or a boy’s hurt knee. She  32   the best fried chicken in the world.

   Now, my own children are grown and gone. On special days, I have got into the habit of drawing the next door to  33   the night with her. So it was late one Thanksgiving Eve, as I   34 

into sleep in the bedroom, a familiar hand  35   stole across my face to brush the   36   from my forehead. Then she  37   my brow ever so gently.

   Catching Mom’s hand in mine, I blurted out（脱口说出）how  38   I was for that night. I thought she’d remember it as I did.  39   Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it and forgiven me long ago.

   That night, I fell asleep with a new  40   for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

   The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile.“More! More!”cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago it was? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis’ family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school.   One of Louis’ teachers asked him to be in the school band“This horn is yours until you leave our school,”his teacher said. Louis’ music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn’t learn to read music until he was a man.

   When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent. Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo’s horn had as many sounds as ten horns-sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting.“He does make wonderful music,”said the man who listened happily.“Yes,”said another man,“he makes that horn speak.”Then the music jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn’t it beautiful how music brings us together!”

   Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which form different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.

   Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar（日历）,but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event . Frequently such a society measures day in terms of“sleeps”of longer periods in terms of“moons”.Some cultures, such as the Eakinos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.

   Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of“telling time”.For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.

   In contrast（成对比），exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies. This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently（well, quickly and without waste）,for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. YC Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated（复杂）. societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.

   A．they live all over the world

   B．they are different from other animals

   C．they live in one place, district or country, considered as a whole

              .

   A．don’t have the word TIME in their languages

   B．don’t get used to using clocks and other timepieces

   C．don’t measure time in their daily lives

   D．don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule

   A．the change of the sun rays

   C．the position of the stone

   D．the position of the tree or the cliff

   Pocket Tape-Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.

   Pearl corder S702 $64

   This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.

   Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight : 240 g

   Sony M9 $49.95

   Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance.

   Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders.

   Doesn’t switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.

   Tape length : 60 minutes per side. Weight : 195g.

   Sony M400 $115

   Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Rcording is good but machine noise loses points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.

   Tape length : 60 minutes per side. Weight : 230g

   Imperial OEM MC7 $29.95

   Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording is good as long as there is no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.

   Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.

   Philips 585$ 80

   Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm designed for dictation. No recording light.

   Tape length : 15 minutes per side. Weight : 220g.
