Over 60 million persons in the United States own a credit card, which has had the effect of increasing consumption possibilities for households by allowing them to make heavy purchases without giving up a single dollar and coin for than. In fact, thousands of dollars of merchandise, ranging from autos, clothing, to electrical appliances are purchased by buyers through the credit card. Credit cards have also been of significant importance to the national economy. Businessmen have been encouraged to expand plant and equipment and hire additional personnel to meat the heavy demand for their products. The tendency of employ-merit and income would be to rise significantly. Unfortunately, the ease with which buyers can increase their purchase with credit cards have caused them to overlook the additional costs. Purchases on credit cards are postponed payments. Buy-now-and-pay-later encourages buyers to use credit cards extensively. Since the buyer is in effect borrowing money for a specific purpose, he must expect to pay an interest change. Interest is the price of using money over a long period of time. A close analysis of the use of credit cards for heavy purchases will show that the buyer has added to the cost of making these purchases, it must also be kept in mind that unpaid monthly balance means added interest charges.

"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. The main musical sources used by file slaves to develop a new kind of music were ______.

A. folk music, jazz music, and modem music
B. classical music, American rhythms, and African folk songs
C. african music, European classical music, and American folk music
D. slave’s work songs rhythms of lifting heavy loads, and sounds of steel striking
