But it is said that it began in the early 19th. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace. Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first just blacks played it. It was difficult for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz. The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong was a born musician. He was not only talented but also hardworking.

C For many kids in Africa, the colorful PlayPump(踏水车） is the first playground thing they have ever seen. When the children give it a push and jump in for their first ride, smiles of wonder appears on their faces. The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. The wonderful invention doesn’t only change the kids’ play time, but also makes a big difference to the people’s lives. As the merrygoround starts, it pumps(泵送） clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank(桶） . People are weled to e and help themselves to get the water for free. They are very happy these days. In the countryside of Africa, very few people could drink clean water. They don’t have machines that can get water in their homes. Ins tead, they often walk a long way to carry water back. Patricia Molope, a fifteenyearold girl, explains that before her village in South Africa got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes. “ Sometimes the taxi drivers were so busy that we would have to stop taking showers in order to save water. It was so far to walk there, but at present we have our own clean water in the village, and the life is better, too.” The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls. Carrying water for miles and hours each day is such a heavy job that it sometimes prevents girls from being able to go to school. Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quicker and easierand even boys join in. The pumps have bee a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water. A boy named Khumalo, twelve years old, says, “ I have seen many kinds of water pumps, but have never seen one that can keep water. When I grow up, I want to be an inventor so I can also invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country.” So far, more than 800 PlayPumps are being operated in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries, providing water for almost two million people. 81.
