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.

 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 1800’s 
jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular pair of sentences in the following questions.
