3．No one knows exactly when jazz was invented，or by whom．But it is said that it began in the early 1900s．
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 only blacks played it．It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style．But soon they，too，were playing jazz．

Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans．His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read．When Louis was still a kid，his parents separated，and Louis lived with his mother．How hard their life was can readily be imagined．And yet Louis smiled through everything．He later wrote，"My whole life has been happiness．Life was there for me and I accepted it．Whatever happened has been beautiful to me．I love everybody．"

18．Do you know that a student can produce（產生） up to 240 pounds of school waste（廢物） and lots of waste gas during a term？This includes transportation，food，paper，pens，pencils and so on.
Transportation
Some parents drive their kids to school every day.We all know waste gas from cars is a main cause of air pollution.If parents who live in a neighborhood can take turns to drive their kids to school each day，that'll be better.Another way of going green is to walk to school if students live near their schools.
Food
It's surprising that only one elementary school can produce up to 19，000 pounds of lunch waste each year.That's only one school.One way to help take care of the environment is to stop using plastic bags.There are all kinds of environmental boxes for students to put their food in.
Paper，pens and pencils
Lots of paper is thrown away by American students.They throw away about 1.6 billion pens every year.They waste many pens and chemicals which are bad for the environment.Many more pencils are thrown away than pens.Pencils are made from trees，so if more pencils are thrown away，more trees will be cut down.So students shouldn't throw them away，some of them can be used again.
Backpacks
As fashion comes and goes，almost every kid needs a new backpack every year.They can save money and materials if the same schoolbags are used each year.
