(2016·合肥第一次质检)
When slaves were first brought over from West Africa to the southern parts of America,they brought along with them aspects of their own culture—religion,dance,language,music,and cuisine.A mix of the two cultures eventually appeared.The religious dance of the ring shout turned into modern dances like the Charleston,and tribal chants slowly transformed into sorrowful hymns(圣歌) sung by slaves that described their hardships.
These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be called “the blues”,which continued in popularity among African Americans after the Civil War.This music increased in popularity into the early 1900s when many black
musicians became an important part of the music industry.
This strengthened the identity of their music that,in the 1950s,eventually led to the beginning of rock and roll.The Beatles,the most influential band of the 1960s,are often determined as the accelerator that resulted in the ideology(意识形态) surrounding music that is still around today.The freedom and individuality associated with that time period brought forth a whole culture surrounding music.It was not just music any more,but a lifestyle.

Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home，for example，a walk around the block.The recent findings，though，suggest our home life，not our attitude，might be due for some change.

Finally,we were able to premiere(首次公演) it at a real theater—in front of a sold-out crowd of about 1,000 people!I felt like a celebrity(名人).The local TV news channel interviewed me,which made my heart race.And in the Q&A session after the movie,a 5-year-old boy went up to the microphone and asked,“How can I be more like you?” 3
Since the premiere,I’ve seen so many new faces at the Boys & Girls Clubs,which means that our message got through to some parents.But that’s not the only effect. 4
