I can．How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth? Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids．As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room．He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees．Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor． We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days．Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends．So oral tradition goes on and on． 1．According to the text, how did people pass on messages in the past? A．By using electronics． B．By telling stories orally． C．By recording them in books． D．By reading books to the next generation． 2．What will happen if the stories are repeated many times? A．They can make the children feel bored． B．They can make the children’s minds clear． C．They can improve the children’s creativity． D．They can give the children a deep impression(印象)． 3．What will the children probably do after they listen to the stories from the old?

A．He/She values it． B．He/She is against it． C．He/She thinks it’s outdated． D．He/She thinks it’s unreliable． B Generally, the blues are often associated with unhappy things．For example, if you lose your job, you might want to listen to the blues．Although the blues often deal with unhappy personal things, the music itself goes far beyond self­pity．The blues is also about overcoming hard luck, saying what you feel, ridding yourself of sadness, making you relaxed, and simply having fun． The blues has deep roots in American history, particularly African­American history．The blues began in Southern plantations(大农场) in the 19th century．Its inventors were slaves, ex­slaves and the children of slaves—African­American sharecroppers(佃农) who sang as they worked in the cotton and vegetable fields． The blues grew up in the Mississippi Delta just upriver from New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz．Blues and jazz have always influenced each other, and they still influence each other in many ways today．Unlike jazz, the blues didn’t spread out quickly from the South to the Midwest until the 1930s and 1940s．When the Delta blues made their way up the Mississippi to urban areas, the music developed into electrified Chicago blues, other regional blues styles, and various jazz­blues hybrids．About ten years later, the blues gave birth to rhythms(节奏) ‘n’ blues and rock ‘n’ roll． No single person invented the blues, but many people said they had discovered different styles of the blues．For example, a bandleader, W．C．Handy insisted that the blues was first shown to him in 1903 by a street guitarist at a train station in Tutwiler, Mississippi． During the middle to late 1800s, the Deep South was home to hundreds of important bluesmen who helped to shape the music．Unfortunately, much of this original music followed these sharecroppers to their graves．But the music of these earliest blues pioneers can still be heard in the recordings of 1920s and 1930s from Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and other Southern states． 5．What can we know about the blues?
