                                       Hip-hop planet 

   1 Countries like France,Brazil and even Japan have their own hip-hop culture. But where did this strange speaking-singing style come from? Many centuries ago,in West Africa,traditional storytellers played musical instruments while they were telling stories. When this tradition traveled from West Africa to the USA. it developed into different musical styles. For example,blues and jazz. 2 And in the 1970s,there were many poor areas in New York. There wasn’t any money for music lessons in schools,so kids made their own music. Teenagers Afrika and DJ Here played their records outside in the streets. Everybody joined in. MCs had rapping (说唱) competitions. Every week,there were talented new dancers,new DJs and new MCs. Hip-hop culture was born.

   3 It was 1980. I was at a party in New York. There was a young DJ at the party. He was playing records. While he was putting a record on,a kid picked up a microphone (话筒) and began tapping. Some other kids were break-dancing to the music. It was loud and boring,and I hated it. I preferred jazz.

   4 Today's successful American artists like Missy and her friend Tim heard it on the radio when they were growing up.

   The last time I heard hip-hop,I was in West Africa. 5 I was going to interview a traditional storyteller when I met a young hip-hop artist. He told me there are hundreds of rap groups in Africa today. We live on a hip-hop planet.

  Old Dawson had the best apples in town,but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple,even off the ground,because Dawson,a bad-tempered (坏脾气的) man,they said,would come after you with his gun.

   One Friday,12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend pruSS Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house. Like most of the children,Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

   Amy said that Mr Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still,Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got dose enough,Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱 眉) ,but when he saw it was Amy,a big smile changed his whole face as he said,Hello,Miss Amy.I see you’ve got a little friend with you today. ”

   Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun,and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.

   As they walked on,Janet asked Amy,“Everyone says he's the meanest man in town. Why was he so nice to us?”

   Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house,he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him,but she always smiled at him. It took a while,but one day he half-smiled back at her.
