Nearly everyone agrees that money doesn’t buy as much as it used to, no matter were you want to spend it. This is certainly true of the paper money that passes so quickly through one’ s hands. Inflation eats away its buying power just as the steady appetite of waves chews at sand cliffs. But what about coins that seem to do very little except make purses and pockets untidy Unlike notes, metal money becomes more valuable the longer it is held, especially if it is put away where it won’t get scratched or worn. Why is this One reason is that coins, being more durable, fall more readily into a category for collections. Naturally, the rarer gold pieces must become more valuable as the price of this metal goes up. But, curiously, one of the rarest coins in the world is not made of gold, but of the relatively cheaper silver. In 1840, the United States mint struck 19,570 silver dollars. That is what its records show. Today only six of this original number remain solid these are unlikely ever to the auction market. So what happened to some 19,564 ladle silver coins, not the easiest sort of things to lose One of the more romantic theories is that they were part of the payment to Napoleon for the American territory then known as Louisiana. But they never reached France. Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, the ship transporting them was sunk, either by a storm or by pirates. The probable answer to the mystery is that they were melted down--since the silver value was greater than the actual value of the coin. What really happened to the rest will probably always remain a mystery. What is known is that whoever can come up with one will find himself instantly rich. Which of the following is true of a coin
"Is jazz a kind of folk music Is it a performing style How is it different from other kinds of music" There is no simple answer to these questions, because the most important quality of jazz comes from its unique combination of different musical sources over a period of almost 400 years. The quality that unites the many different jazz forms is, in some degree, separate from its musical sources. That quality is the expression of freedom. The idea of freedom is central. The ancestors of jazz were black people from West Africa who were brought to America as slaves, or forced laborers, from the early 1600s to the mid-1800s. Most of them remained slaves until President Lincoln set them free on January 1, 1863, at the midpoint of the American Civil War. With the less of their personal freedom and the breaking up of their families, the slaves also borrowed the social traditions of their music from Africa. The complex rhythms of this music involved a number of people performing together. The breaking apart of these social groups forced slaves to create new songs--that is, to develop a completely new musical tradition. Using some of the remembered African rhythms, the slaves gradually began to add some features of the European classical music that was played by the white slave owners. The slaves were also influenced by American folk songs. But the result of adding these borrowed elements to the complex African rhythms was the beginning of a completely new kind of music. Still, this music only existed privately among groups of slaves. The slaves’ work had another effect on their music. It introduced new kinds of music rhythms. Some of these rhythms became work songs to accompany their planting end picking of cotton. Other rhythms were developed by teams of workers who needed to lift heavy loads of cotton onto carts that passed through the fields. Later, during the building of the railroads, individual workers created new songs to match the sharp rhythms of steel striking, as they fixed the rails into place. Which of the following statements is NOT true
Point 1 We are all beginning another great journey. We aren’t sure where this one will lead us either, but again I am certain this revolution will touch even more lives and take us all farther. The major changes coming will be in the way people communicate with each other. The benefits and problems arising from this upcoming communications revolution will be much greater than those brought about by the PC revolution. Point 2 There is never a reliable map for unexplored territory, but we can learn important lessons from the creation and evolution of the $120-billion personal-computer industry. The PC--its evolving hardware, business applications, on-line systems, Internet connections, electronic mail, multimedia titles, authoring tools, and game--the foundation for the next revolution. Point 3 This next journey, to the so-called information highway, is the topic of endless newspaper end magazine articles, television and radio broadcasts conferences and widespread speculation. There has been an unbelievable amount of interest in this subject during the last few years, both inside and outside the computer industry. The interest is not confined only to developed countries, and it goes well beyond the large numbers of personal-computer users. Point 4 Thousands of informed and uninformed people are now thinking publicly about the information highway. The amount of misunderstanding about the technology and its possible dangers surprises me. Some people think the highway is simply today’s Internet or the delivery of 500 simultaneous chamels of television. Others hope or fear it will create computers as smart as human beings. Those developments will come, but they are not the highway. Point 5 The revolution in communications is just beginning. It will take place over several decades, and will be drives by new "applications" --new tools, often meeting currently unforeseen needs. During the next few years, major decisions will have to be made. It is crucial that a broad set of people--not just technologists or those who happen to be in the computer industry--participate in the debate about how this technology should be shaped, If that can be done, the highway will serve the purpose users want. Then it will gain broad acceptance and become a reality. Now match each of the points (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. This upcoming communications revolution has been widely paid attention to.B. We learn from the mistakes of others.C. We are beginning to do something which uncertain, yet outstanding.D. People of all walks of life should be active in this revolution.E. We should be good drawing the experience of others.F. No one would talk much in society if he only knew how often he misunderstanding.G. The most regrettable thing is misunderstanding Point 1

"It introduced new kinds of musical rhythms" (in the last paragraph). Here "it" refers to ______.
