READING:

Most people agree that pop music started (1) in the US in the 1950s and that it developed from black American music When it started, it was especially for young people (2) In many countries, they liked listening to it and dancing to it because it was exciting and it was a way of rebelling against their parents’ generation Many parents strongly disapproved of it They disliked the way many pop stars looked and acted They thought the music was rubbish and the group couldn’t sing or play their instrument properly They said that pop music wouldn’t last long.
Today, attitudes are different Many of today’s parents are people who loved music when they were young and still do (3) As a result of this, pop music is no longer for the young (4). In addition, some of the stars whose careers began a long time ago and who are now middle–aged are just as popular today as they were then Their original fans still like them, perhaps because they remind them of when they were young At the same time, new generations of young people buy their records and go to their concerts So pop music was not just a brief fashion All these years later, it is more popular than ever.

Exercise 2: Read the passage below and choose the correct answer:
Jazz originated in the southern United States after the Civil War It began as the musical expression of black people (2) who had formerly been slaves, combining hymns, spiritual, and traditional work songs into
a new form The style was a blend of the rhythms brought to America by the Africans who were imported as
slave labor and the popular music of the era that featured the ragtime piano.
The term (thuật ngữ) jazz itself is of obscure, and possibly nonmusical origin, but it was first used to
describe this particular kind of musical expression in about 1915.
Improvisation has always been one of the primary elements of jazz While one instrument, often the trumpet, plays the melody, another instrument, usually the clarinet, embellishes and invents compatible melodies around the original theme Such improvisation is the test of the jazz musician’s skill.
A jazz band commonly includes four to twelve musicians with a relatively large proportion of the group in the rhythm section There are a drummer, a bass player, and a pianist Often there is also a banjo player or guitarist In traditional jazz, the clarinet, trumpet, and trombone carry the melody, but in more modern jazz, the saxophone, violin, and flute may also be included in the melody section Some jazz bands employ a blues singer.
Trang 6Jazz first became popular outside the South in the 1920s, when jazz band began to record, distribute, and even export their recordings to Europe Since jazz is improvisational, it does not exist in the form of printed scores, and recorded performances were and still are the best way of preserving the music A very basic library of recorded jazz would include work by such classic artists as Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Billie Holiday Theirs is probably America’s most unique and most important contribution to the musical world, although there are a few contemporary artists who are keeping the tradition alive.
