9、During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. To ease their labor, they sang “field hollers(号子)” that they had brought from Africa. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The songs words told of the hardships that people suffered. Thi
10、s call-and -response singing style was also used in churches. African Americans sang joyous religious songs. They clapped their hands and stamped their feet to the music. After the Civil War(1861-1865), the music changed greatly. African American music, from ballads to church music, took new forms.
11、It was also adapted dance music, called “jump-ups”. Then banjos became popular. A blues singer usually played a call and response with the banjo. He or she sang a line and then played the banjo response. By the early 1900s, the guitar had replaced the banjo as the main blues instrument.Northern Miss
12、issippicalled the Deltawas the center of blues tradition. By the 1920s, the Delta had many clubs, so-called juke joints. African Americans listened and danced to music in these clubs. Some of the greatest blues men and women performed there.The words of blues songs describe everyday life. They are o

14、oved north to work. Many settled in Chicago. There, a new kind of “electric” or “Chicago” blues began. Many of its themes were the same, but these blues had electric guitars and harmonicas.

17、ent at an unnatural angle, my left hand waving a mop across the bathroom floor, my right hand grasping a hair straightener. As I catch sight of myself in the mirror, the stupidity of the situation strikes me. But I go on with them, convinced Im getting the most from my early morning minutes.We live
18、in a world of multitaskingwhere the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. Yet, is multitasking a good idea?”Weve done a number of studies that prove people who multitask frequently suffer a lot, ”Dr Nass Clifford at Stanford University says. “Theyre less able to rec
19、ognize useless information, theyre less able to pay attention, and they are worse at managing their memory.”Psychologist Dr Sherry Turkle, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, holds the view that in some situations, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless, “But you cant do s
20、erious work this way.” Of course. There are some things we can do simultaneously. We can talk while walking, or eat dinner while watching TV. This is because each task requires a different type of brain activity. So, reading while listening to instrumental music is fine, but the ability to concentra
21、te on words on a page decreases sharply when listening to music with lyrics, because both actions rely on the part of the brain that deals with language.So what about my need to multitask? Perhaps both my hair and my bathroom floor would end up better off if each received some individual attention.
22、Of course they would, but I have to take the first step and learn to self-management my time better. “It takes a huge amount of discipline, and people find it really difficult,” says Dr Nass, “But that doesnt men its not a great thing to do.”25.

And as it does, springtime phenomenalike the first bloom of flowersare ge
25、tting earlier and earlier. But rising temperatures arent the only factor. Urban light pollution is also quickening the coming of spring. “So temperature and light are really contributing to a double whammy of making everything earlier. ” Richard Ffrench-Constant, an entomologist at the University of
26、 Exeter. He and his colleagues compiled 13 years of data from citizen scientists in the U. K. , who tracked the first bud(芽) burst of four common trees. Turns out, light pollutionfrom streetlights in cities, and along roadspushed bud burst a full week earlier. Way beyond what rising temperatures cou
27、ld achieve. This disruptive(干扰性的) timing can ripple through the ecosystem. The caterpillars that feed on trees are trying to match the hatching of their eggs to the timing of bud burst. Because the caterpillars want to feed on the juiciest and least chemically protected leaves. And its not just the
28、caterpillars, of course, that are important. But the knock-on effect is on nesting birds, which are also trying to hatch their chicks at the same time that theres the maximum number of caterpillars. So earlier buds could ultimately affect the survival of birds, and beyond. The findings are in the Pr
29、oceedings of the Royal Society B. The worlds becoming increasingly urbanized, and light pollution is growingwhich Richard says could trick trees into budding earlier and earlier. But smarter lightinglike LEDs that dial down certain wavelengthscould help. “Perhaps the exciting thing is, if we underst
30、and more about how light affects this bud burst, we might be able to devise smarter sort of street lighting that has less red components, and therefore less early bud burst. Thus it is possible to keep springtime an actual springtime phenomenon. ” Richard add. 28. How did Richard and his colleagues
31、reach the conclusion?A. By analyzing some data.B. By observing nature closely.C. By doing a lot of experiments.D. By keeping track of four common trees.29. Why do the caterpillars hatch eggs at the same time of bud burst?A. To protect young leaves.B. To get high quality food.C. To give birth to heal
