Ragtime music was an early form of jazz. This music has a lively beat and was developed from the music of African Americans.Ragtime became pop
21、ular in the early 1890s, and the music was played on the piano. The piano player usually made up a melody, then changed it a little bit every time he played.

He traveled all over the Midwest playing the piano and composing music. Sometimes he played with music groups. Other times he sang by himself in noisy sal
23、oons and bars. In 1899, Joplin wrote Maple Leaf Rag, a ragtime song that became a big hit and earned Joplin the title of The King of Ragtime. In all, he wrote more than 500 songs. Joplins biggest dream was to compose a ragtime opera. Finally, after 10 years, Joplin completed a ragtime opera which he

28、 that powerful five-letter word.In recent days public figures, from politicians to stars, have all publicly expressed remorse. But with so much remorse, how can we tell a forced apology from a heartfelt expression of remorse?Specifically, saying sorry should be a realization that something you have
29、said or done has hurt someone and you want to make amends. “People wants the response to be personal to them. They want to feel that theyre being listened to and taken seriously,” says Martin Stone.Firstly, it is important to show that you understand. It is vital that any group or a person making an
30、 apology understands the focusis it sorry for the way its acted or is it sorry that the complainant feels the way they do? Watch out for the speed of response. The quicker the apology comes, the better it indicates that the person making it has felt an immediate sense of guilt.If sincere, the person
31、 making the apology will be looking for clues (线索) to see if he or she is being understood, such as eye contact and facial expressions. Performed apologies always have a sense of being “acted out”, and are often accompanied by too many unnatural gestures.For a sincere apology, it is also important t
32、o avoid promises that cant be kept. Dont say that youll make sure that this will not happen again if you re not confident that it wont. It could come back to bite you.

I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with
36、stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. Its evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didnt fully understand the extent to which my mom was su
37、ffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”Sho
38、cked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes theyve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.With patience and her slow
39、 but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuffpast mistakes and painful times. The items brought back p
40、ainful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act

44、n more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.The evidence suggests that megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted as graves for family groups in northwestern Europe thousands of years ago. The latest findings throw new light on t

47、lts also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland. “The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the i
