17、 on the trumpet.At the Waifs Home, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the Crescent Citys finest musicians. Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did the trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his play

18、ing skills.When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong wanted to go with him, but chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day, such as Kid Ory and the Dodds brothers. Armstrong also played in one of the most popular marching bands of the day and fine -tuned his

24、d.C. Grateful.D. Good-natured.CA new United Nations scientific report says that human-caused climate change is greatly reducing land quality worldwide. It warns that the way humans use land is causing the earths atmosphere to warm faster and could harm food production. The effects of climate change

25、are already making food more costly and less nutritious(有营养的) and are worsening food shortages(缺乏).The scientists write that if humans change the way they eat, grow food and manage forests, it could help slow world temperature rises.About 30 percent of the earths surface is land. But the report says

26、 that the land is warming two times faster than the planet as a whole. While heat-trapping(吸热的) gases are causing problems in the atmosphere, land has been less talked about as a part of climate change.“The change could be worse,” the report says.

28、 forestry each year put 5.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the air. But the land pulled 11.2 billion metric tons out of it.

All of these are things many of us do at the same timeand all too often while were doing something else, like working.Newport described the disadvantages of this lifestyle in an interview with The New York Times, “Every time you switch your attention from one target to another and then back a

36、gain, theres a cost. This changing creates an effect that scientists call attention residue(注意残留), which can lower your cognitive capacity(认知能力) for an important amount of time before it clears. If you constantly make quick checks of different kinds of inventions and inboxes, you will keep yourself

37、in a state of constant attention residue, which is a terrible idea if youre someone who uses your brain to make a living. ”Instead of moving from activity to activity, Newport advises us to actively make time for “deep work every day, time when we are focused on a cognitively challenging task withou
