Whizzfizzing Festival
As one of the Home Counties to the north and west of London, Buchinghamshire is known for the rolling Chiltern Hills, its pretty villages, and the much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl.
The writer who penned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matilda and The Big Friendly Giant is the inspiration for the Whizzfizzing Festival, which will transform the market-town of Aylesbury into all kinds of music, color and fun on Saturday, 1 July.
Formerly known as The Roald Dahl Festival, this year’s event will involve a broad range of children’s films and bring to life some of their best-loved characters — from Alice in Wonderland and Gruffalo to The Big Friendly Giant and Harry Potter.
Things to See and Do
The festivals start at 11 a.m. with a colorful children’s parade. More than 650 local school children and teachers, many in fancy dress, will march through the town carrying giant carnival puppets(木偶), with thousands of audiences lining the street to watch.
The parade will be followed by a range of child-friendly activities and workshops held in venues across the town.
Don’t be late for the Mad Hatters Tea Party in the Bucks County Museum, catch a splendid screening of a Roald Dahl film in the Old Court House, watch leading children’s authors, including Julian Clary, and read in the Market Square.
CBeebies’ children’s chef Katy Ashworth will once again cook up a storm with her interactive Concoction Kitchen, located outside Hale Leys Shopping Centre. Little chefs will have lots of opportunities to get involved in preparing, cooking — and best of all, tasting — Katy’s wonderful dishes.

Have you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused? If so, your confusion may have made sense.
Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.
But the “double shirt” isn’t fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.
British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored with looking perfect all the time. “Fashion thrives (v. 蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.
Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something that’s considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.

And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesn’t necessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means ‘not the mainstream’— it is not what everyone’s wearing; it is not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.
But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”
Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be “the best look”.
“I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, we’d all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm(n. 规范).”
5. The underlined word “in” in the passage could be replaced by ____________. A. ugly expensive

C. They will make statements with others’ clothes choices. D. They will express themselves by wearing ugly clothes. 7. What can we infer from Zanita Whittington’s words? A. She is in favor of ugly fashion trends. all.
C. She hopes to be the same as others.
D. She wants to look ugly as a model.
B. She doesn’t care about fashion at

When he was young, Louis Armstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become today’s jazz.

Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waif’s Home at the age of 12, after a run-in(小争执) with the police. The punishment turned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.
While at the Waif’s, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the city’s finest musicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.
When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrong’s biggest challenge yet — the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise(即兴创作).
Soon, Armstrong’s undeniable talent was getting noticed. Even classically trained musicians would come to hear the incredible sounds this young man created.
Lil Hardin, the band’s piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explained that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.
Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to join Fletcher Henderson’s band and then flew solo. In 1925, Armstrong put together the Hot Five, expanding his popularity even more. Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording blends(混合) artistry, endurance and showmanship that has rarely, if ever, been matched in jazz.
8. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the second paragraph? A. To play dance music.
B. To work with Buddy Bolden. D. To create modern jazz music.
C. To play a jazz instrument well.
9. Who taught Louis Armstrong how to play music in the early time? A. Buddy Bolden. Freddie Keppard.
10. Why did Louis Armstrong Leave King Oliver’s band? A. Because he wanted to get married in New York. B. Because his talent could not develop completely.
B. Lil Hardin.
C. King Joe Oliver.
D. Cornetist
