Country music，sometimes called country-western，comes from two kinds of music.One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.The other is traditional cowboy music from the West.The singers usually play the guitars，and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.At first city people said country music was low class.It was popular mostly in the South.But during World War Ⅱ，thousands of southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories.They took their music with them.Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps(军营) in the South.They learned country music.Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City，among black and white，and among educated and uneducated people.About 1，200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day.English stars sing it in British English，and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.The music that started with cowboys and southerners is now popular all over the world. 【语篇解读】　乡村音乐是最受欢迎的音乐之一，它来自两种音乐，一个是来自美国东部阿巴拉契亚山传统的音乐，另一个是来自西方的传统牛仔音乐，在二次世界大战时，有成千上万的南方人到东北部和西部的工厂工作，他们把他们的音乐带去，慢慢地它变得流行起来。 1．Where does country music come from according to the passage?
