jazz. Soon Chicago was the new-center for jazz.
Several outstanding musicians emerged as leading jazz artists in Chicago. Daniel Lotus
“Satchmo" Armstrong, born in New Orleans in 1900, was one. Another leading musician was Joseph king
Oliver, who is also credited with having discovered Armstrong, when they were both in New Orleans. While
in Chicago, Oliver asked Armstrong, who was in New Orleans, to join his band. In 1923 King Oliver's
Creole Jazz Band made the first important set of recordings by a Hot Five and Hot Seven bands under
Louis Armstrong also made recordings of special note.
Although Chicago's South Side was the main jazz center, some musicians in New York were
also demanding attention in jazz circles. In 1923 Fletcher Henderson already had a ten-piece band that

Ellington was born in Washington, D.C., in 1899 and died in New York City in 1974. He studied the piano as a
young boy and later began writing original musical compositions. The first of Ellington's European tours came
in 1933. He soon received international fame for his talent as a band leader, composer and arranger. Ten years

GETTING CURIOUS ABOUT CURIOSITY'S MISSION TO MARS
The topic of space exploration reached a high point during the 1960s, as Soviets and Americans competed
for dominance. Yet after the Soviets put the first man in space and Americans landed the first men on the moon,
many people lost interest as nothing else could compare to these groundbreaking accomplishments. Recently, a
robotic rover on a mission to Mars has generated massive interest the public.
Curiosity is a robotic car-sized rover that is part of NASA's long-term plan to learn more about the terrain
and conditions on the Red Planet. One of its main goals was to determine whether or not it was possible for life
to develop on Mars. Using mechanical arms, Curiosity can gather soil and rock samples from the ground and
analyze them to determine their chemical composition. Since transporting around Mars was vital to the success
of the mission, a lot of effort was put into Curiosity's transportation abilities. Mars' terrain is not smooth, so
designers enabled Curiosity to roll over bumpy areas. Once Curiosity left the Earth, there would be no
opportunities to repair it, so engineers also had to be spot on about Curiosity's power solution. Therefore, they
devised a system that can generate power internally from a radioisotope generator. Finally, to capture stunning
pictures of Mars, Curiosity was equipped with several state-of-the art cameras. The cameras also help the rover
avoid hazards, navigate, and detect information about the atmosphere.
After a 350-million-mile journey, Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012, an impressive 1.5 miles away from its
initial target. Upon arrival, NASA's website crashed due to an overload of visitors. People just couldn't seem to
get enough information on the mission. But the real thrills came in the weeks and months that followed, as
people got their first real glimpse about what life was really like on Mars. The mission was originally supposed
to last for two years, but scientists are now optimistic that it could continue for up to 15 years, depending on
Curiosity's condition. No matter what happens at this point, it is safe to say that Curiosity's mission to Mars has been a smashing success.
Question 35. According to the passage, the popularity of space exploration reached its___________ in the 1960s. A. drop B. break C. peak D. hit
Question 36. Why did Curiosity have arms?
A. So it could study objects on Mars.
B. So it could push itself up if it fell. 4
