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 (Ê¥¸è) 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.

The slaves that had been brought over were from all different regions of West Africa, but they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture. 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 (ÒâʶÐÎ̬)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.

Over the decades, music has developed into such a vital part of society and pop culture. Musicians arc glorified, with tons of adoring and screaming fans. The modern technology of present day has allowed for a greater gap between the creator of the music and the fans, as well as a widespread commercialization of music. However, criticisms of modern pop music often arise due to its mass production, and now there is a lack of the same soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early 20th century.

Exploit your parking space

Rent£¨³ö×⣩a room

¡°Wake up. Alicia is waiting for you outside,¡± my mother called from the kitchen. My mother didn¡¯t like me going for this weekend to my friend¡¯s house in the mountains. ¡°I trust you, but I don¡¯t trust the people out there,¡± she said seriously. ¡°I¡¯m going to be fine,¡± were my last words before closing the door of the Jeep. The vehicle went along the dusty road and my mother grew smaller in the distance.

The trip over the rough road was uncomfortable. It was scary to climb the steep hills surrounded by great pines. After a long trip we finally arrived at the house. From the moment I got there I knew I would forever love the house. It was decorated like an old country home. My room was small, yet set up nicely. That night I went to sleep early, not because I didn¡¯t want to continue my search, but because I was tired after the long trip.

In the morning, the singing of the birds woke me up. The light was just getting through the window. A strong smell of baking and fresh coffee came from the kitchen. I wandered around looking for a living soul, but the house was empty. I had the whole day to myself; my friend had gone hiking. I didn¡¯t want to go with her. The main reason for this trip was to spend some time alone to think about the events happening in my life.

After an icy shower, my energies were at their fullest. With basket in hand, I started my hunt. I did not mind walking alone; it was a wonderful feeling to be in contact with nature for the first time. The sound of the water running through the rocks gave me great peace. I never felt such independence in my soul before.

We all wish we had just a bit more time£®Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on£®

1. But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter£®

1£®Get Out of Bed Earlier

If you normally get up at 7; 30 a.m., try getting up at 7:00 a.m.. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish£® 2.

2£®Do the Important Tasks First

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first£¨not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones£©. 3.

If you work like this, you'll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones£®

3£®Reduce Interruptions

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. 4.

4£® 5.

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you¡¯re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it¡¯s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work

B. Take Breaks When Necessary

C. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration£®

D. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on

all those little urgent ones£®

E. Would you want me to make your day longer?

F. I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long£®

G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start£®

Wide uptake of cholesterol¡ªbusting statin drugs(½µµ¨¹Ì´¼Ò©)£¬healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks£¬stroke and other cardiovascular(ÐÄѪ¹ÜµÄ)problems£®

Some nations-including Ukraine£¬Macedonia and Moldova¡ªsee more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100£¬000 of the population£®

Overall£¬heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe£¬but only 27 percent in the UK£®The study£¬led by Dr Nick Townsend£¬showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age£®

But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700£¬000 deaths in under 65s£®Dr Townsend said£º¡®Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men£®¡¯

The earth is dying before us yet we sit and watch. If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren¡¯t we willing to fix our earth? Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live? Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time?

The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us. Take that game system we run to repair. What does it do? It occupies kids¡¯ time! The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills, forests and plains, water and land. However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids¡¯ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!

We have already messed up this world, we have ruined the air, water, and animals that it has so willingly provided for us. We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before. It will not be easy, but everybody can help! What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room? Recycling what can be recycled? Picking up litter? Donating money to an environmental organization? None of these things are very hard. We can¡¯t just always say, ¡°Oh, the earth is a mess. Ah, well, those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.¡± Instead, we need to help out. It¡¯s not only those big companies; it¡¯s everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth. So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!
