27、fficult to say exactly how the music we call “rock ” or “rock and roll” began. Its roots (根源) go back to many different countries and many different kinds of music and many musicians. Rock music developed mainly from the interaction ( 相互影响） of black African and white European music. The Europeans an
28、d the African slaves (奴隶） who came to America during the seventeenth century each had their own different kinds of music. Black Africans used heavy drumbeats ，a rough singing voice，and the calling of a melody (旋律） and answer of a chorus. The white Europeans ，mostly English and Scots，used a stronger
29、melody ，a less heavy beat ， and instruments such as guitars ，horns，and fiddles. The history of rock and roll is the history of how rock changed from these two traditions. From the seventeenth to the twentieth century, musicians in the southern United States developed two new forms of music: the blu
30、es ，usually played by blacks，and country music, played by whites. Black musicians sang the blues with a guitar. This music was similar to work songs ：stories of troubles and pain, with lines that were repeated several times. The word “ rock and roll” probably came from the black churches in the Sout
31、h, where people sang and danced to the strong rhythms, which they called “rocking and reeling”. At the same time, whites were playing country music, which was mostly traditional dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories. The singers played with string instruments such as fiddles and guitars
32、. During this time blues and country musicians had some influence on each other, but the influence grew stronger after phonograph records (留声机唱片 )became popular in the late nineteenth century. The birth of the electric guitar changed country and blue music in the 1940s. The sound of the electric gui
33、tar would become the sound, of rock and roll. No one thinks of early rock and roll without thinking of Elvis Presley，the“King of Rock and Roll”.Rock music continues to develop and change, but the heart and soul of rock is the same heart and soul that Elvis expressed.

34、 the passage? A. Different Kinds of Music B. The Beginning of Rock and Roll C. Elvis? s Contribution (贡献） to Music D. Rock and Roll Is Developing ( )5.

38、r during a time in history. C How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientist
39、s have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States ， people begin counting with their first fingers which they extend (伸出）.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb ( 拇指） to count to
40、five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting，scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when
41、 it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的） people in Australia. These people don ? t have hand movements to stand for numbers. Th ey don?t even have words for numbers. However, they are
42、still able to understand different ideas about numbers. In a similar study ，researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe( 部落) in northwestern Brazil don?t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” o
43、r “ten trees ” but can say “some trees ” ， “more trees ” or “many trees ”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn?t not useful in their culture , so they? re never picked it up. Altho
44、ugh all humans are able to understand quantities (数量） ，not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.
