TrumpetToday's trumpet(喇叭)is one of the word's oldest instruments. It's the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors(祖先), there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes(管). They are all blown. And they all use the player's lips to produce the basic sound.
The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material. and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range(范疇)higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music and, in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable(出眾的)way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious(光榮的)instrument.
The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. There are cornets(短號), bugles(軍號), and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.
The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir(攪動)one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of(有潛能的)producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies(宗教大典)to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization(文明)and its development.

A Subway Superhero
Wesley Autrey can't fly, but he is still being called a real-life Superman! Last week, the brave 50-year-old rescued Cameron Hollopeter, 20, from being hit by a train. The train was entering a subway station in New York City. The young man had fallen from the station's platform and onto the train tracks a few feet below.
Autrey, a construction worker and Navy veteran(老兵), was with his two young daughters when he saw Hollopeter fall. Autrey made a quick decision and jumped onto the tracks. He then rolled himself and Hollopeter into a gap, or opening, between the rails. Autrey used his own body to protect the young man.
Five of the train’s cars passed over the two before stopping completely. The two men were both unharmed. Hollopeter’s stepmother, Rachel Hollopeter, called Autrey an “angel”. Autrey visited the New York Film Academy student in the hospital on Wednesday.
For his bravery, Autrey was given a hero's welcome at City Hall. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented Autrey with the Bronze Medallion (銅獎章）. It is the city'’s highest award for achievements by its citizens. Mayor Bloomberg called Audrey “ a great man-a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."
After the ceremony at City Hall, a limousine (豪華轎車)took Autrey to a meeting with multimillionaire businessman Donald Trump. Trump awarded Autrey with $ 10,000. The heroic father also received $ 5,000 from the New York Film Academy, a trip to Disney World, and one year of free sub way rides.
Even after all this attention; Autrey still doesn't see himself as a Superman.” I did it out of a split-second reaction," Autrey said on CBS' The Early Show. "And if I had to do it again, I probably would."
