Read the passage and choose A, B, c or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual
not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the
phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool
and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried.
Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use
of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that
mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use
mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modem
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own
son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working
week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor
didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that its best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when
you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the
future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's
wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest
African- Americans. Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they
still brought with them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into
what is recognized around the world today as American music.
Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due. Just as a writer
quotes his sources, a musician credits those musicians who inspired him. In the case of the early
African - Americans that is not always easy. Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from
Africa will never be known by name. No one wrote their history. Many of the slaves who sang work
songs in the fields will never be known by name No one wrote their history either.
However, there is a lot that we do know.
The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals. Spirituals are religious
songs They are songs that tell a story or express emotions. Spirituals have a strong rhythm. They are
often sung by a group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings
the refrain. Spirituals originated in the Southern United States. Spirituals sung by slaves often
expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives. Well know spirituals include "Go
Down Moses," "Deep River, " and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."
After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States. Harry Thacker
Burleigh was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert. Marian Anderson,
well known for her classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too. Spirituals
influenced the development of another well-known form of American music - the blues.
The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals. Blues were often sung solo, and
sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music. As the name suggests, the blues were often about
sadness and facing troubles. However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant. One
blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith. Another early blues musician
was w. C. Handy. Handy was not only a musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and
published blues songs.
During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also
quickly gaining in popularity. Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat.
Often played on the piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music.
The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for
the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag.
Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together. In their own
kind of melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other
influences recombined to form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz. In the late 1800s
jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular

HaDim.Vn - Chia S Ti Liu Ting Anh Min Ph Trang 5

American music. It would go on from there to worldwide popularity. Jazz would branch out into
many forms, and it would influence future styles of American music.
Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring
their music. Its a shame that they cant also name the earliest African-Americans who really began
the traditions that led to the American music of today.
