Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames. Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.”
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy"s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.

Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1992 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.

There is an old story about an army of frogs that went jumping through the forest one day when two of them suddenly fell into a deep 1 . All of the other frogs gathered around to look 2 at their two fallen friends. They all began to 3 shake their heads and croak out warnings. “It’s too deep!”said one frog. Another said that there was no 4 they would ever be able to get out 5 .
The two fallen frogs began to continuously jump as they 6 to get out, but the frogs that were 7 kept croaking louder at them that they might as well stop 8 they were as good as dead and just 9 their time. One of the two frogs finally gave up, 10 their advice and died.
The other frog just kept on jumping harder than ever 11 all the loud croaks of disapproval from the frogs around the top of the hole. They kept croaking at him to 12 jumping and save himself from all the 13 and suffering as he jumped and fell back down to the bottom 14 .
Finally, to the 15 of all the other frogs, he jumped right out of the deep hole.
