People from Europe (欧洲）and America brought Africans (非洲人)to America as slaves (奴隶) before and during the 19th century. These Africans brought their music with them. After the American Civil War (美国内战), the African-American people in the U. S. A were hot slaves. Their music became famous. It started in the south, then it traveled to the North (北方). Music became blues (布鲁斯) and then jazz.

Blues and jazz became very popular in the 20th century. A person sang the blues when he or she felt sad. Usually, he or she lost something—a person or maybe money or their work. Blues express (表达) sad feelings, sometimes in a funny way. People played blues first with only one or two instruments, for example, a guitar, a harmonica (口琴) or a piano. Sometimes they sang without any instruments. Some famous blues musicians are Bessie Smith, John Lee Hooker and B. B. King.

Jazz came soon after blues. Composers used more musical instruments. Jazz can be happier and is often faster. Some famous jazz musicians are Duke Ellington， Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis.

Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.

I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.

Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.

I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.

At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.

Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you want to do?”

I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.

“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me. ” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.

For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.

It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.

The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.

Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

（   ）11. When did the writer make the important decision?

A. After he was 17 years old.                      B. After he was in one of the best classes.

C. When he was a pupil.                          D. When he was studying in Junior 3.

（   ）12. What was the writer like before the decision?

A. His grades became poor.       

B. He tried too hard not to act as an adult.

C. He was one of the top students in his class.

D. He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do.

（   ）13. How did the writer make the decision?

A. It was easy for him to make the decision.

B. It was his second time to make the decision.

C. He made the decision seriously.

D. It was his mother that made the decision for him.

（   ）14. Why did the writer make the decision?

A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.

B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.

C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.

D. Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.

（   ）15. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The writer made the decision that he should work hard.

B. It took the writer several years to make the decision.

C. After hearing his mother’s words, the writer had tears in his eyes.

D. At the turning point of his life, the writer wanted to have a conversation

11.【答案】D. 

【解析】细节题目.由第二段I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.我在初三的时候做了一个重大决定；可知答案选D。

12.【答案】 A.

【解析】细节题目。由第四段的第一句话I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor.可知他的成绩变得很差，答案选A。

13.【答案】C.

【解析】由第七段I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.做决定的时候作者很严肃，可总结出答案，故答案选C。

14.【答案】B。

 【解析】由文中倒数第三段话The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously any more. 未来的路使我清醒。我再也不能叛逆了。可知答案选B。

15.【答案】A。

【解析】由倒数第四段中To achieve that, I needed to study hard.可知“我”应该努力学习，故答案选A。
