Hip-hop Planet （86）B Countrieslike 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 travelled from West Africa to the USA，it developed into different musical styles．For example，blues and jazz．（87）EAnd 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．
（88）A 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 begantapping．Some other kids were break-dancing to the music．It was loud and boring，and I hated it．I preferred jazz．（89）FToday'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．（90）C 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．

16．language changes with the development of society．So does English．English words change all the time．People need new words for new ideas and new inventions．Different words come into use and older words are used in anew way．Here are some common ways．
English can change by borrowing words from other languages．The word"tomato"was borrowed from Mexico，and"tea"came from China and so on．Now new words are formed by joining two words together．"weekend"and"cookbook"are made up of two parts．A latest one"brunch"comes from breakfast and lunch．Do you have brunch every day？Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words．For example，the word"photo"was made from"photograph"by cutting off the end of the longer word．"Plane"and"phone"were made by cutting off the front part of"aeroplane"and"telephone"．The names of people and products can also become new words．Our"sandwich"was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and"cello"was a name given by the company that first made the product．
Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words"
