D

　　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.

　　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 (意識(shí)形態(tài))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.

　　32. What contributed to the birth of the Charleston?

　　A. Various African religions. B. People's love of tribal dances.

　　C.A mix of two different cultures. D. The popularity of sorrowful hymns.

　　33. According to the passage, what can we learn about the blues?

　　A. It became popular in the late 20th century.

　　B. It may include the description of slaves' sad lives.

　　C. It mainly told the stories of the American Civil War.

　　D. It reflected the hard lives of many black musicians.

　　34. What does the underlined word "this” in the third paragraph refer to?

　　A. Slaves' collective work. B. One region of West Africa.

　　C. The new common culture. D. The music by the Beatles.

　　35. It can be learned that the music in the early 20th century____.

　　A. possessed soul and sincerity

　　B. became more commercialized

　　C. was blamed for its mass production

　　D. widened the gap between musicians and fans

　　How to Help a Teenager Make Good Decisions

　　Habitually poor decision making is actually common in teenagers. Naturally, such a habit makes parent-teen cooperation difficult, especially when a parent wants his teen to do what a " responsible adolescent" would do. A poor decision-making teenager can never run away from his responsibilities. 36

　　● Distinguish real problems from acts of pure "teenagerism". Teens often make poor decisions simply because they don-t have the experiences. By making small and harmless mistakes, like a recently- developed habit of careless consuming, a teen learns good decision-making skills on his own via self-correction.__37 Don't think the teen is making bad decisions just to challenge you. It's more likely it is out of a real inability to determine what's best for him.

　　● 38 Tell your teen you understand his decisions while simply emphasizing that you don't have to agree with his decisions or treat his views as valid. By not judging his opinions, tastes or style, you are opening the road for better communication and problem solving opportunities.

● Set clear expectations. 39 For example, if your teen refuses to study for his math final because "math is pointless," explain that you expect him to perform well in school, even in the "pointless" classes. Because you've already tolerated his opinion without trying to change his viewpoint, you two can easily agree that math isn't so useful, yet avoid

　　saying "Let's just give up on math, then.”

　　● Find a middle ground. Trade insignificant freedoms, such as clothing style for the promise that he'll live up to academic and family responsibilities. _40_ Not only does giving up a bit of control solve many conflicts, but the extra freedom you give him can also improve his decision-making.

　　A。Show tolerance.

　　B. Learn to solve problems.

　　C. Point out your expectations and his responsibilities.

　　D. If your teen could realize it, allow him to be himself.

　　E.A responsible adolescent must have role models to learn from.

　　F. Therefore, it’s important to guide them with problem-solving strategies.

　　G. Next time, he'll be more likely to think twice before making his buying decision.
