Since then I have used the money in the U.K and U.S. It has helped families and strangers, and generally raised a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none so much as the gift I was able to give just an hour ago.I was in a charity shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy shelf. I noticed a group of poorly dressed women standing behind me. As they looked through the clothes shelf, a little girl about three years old came over to the toy shelf. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram(手推车). She spoke to her mother and her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. $3 was the answer. The mum looked down at her child, perhaps thinking what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she shook her head. The child didnt behave(表现) as badly as some might. Being told “no” was not new for her but she couldnt keep the disappointment(失望) from her face.I had a total of $5 in my pocket. I touched the mother on the shoulder, put the money in her hand and said, “Buy a doll too.”I didnt wait to see the end. After all, it was not about being thanked. I walked out of the shop and into the sunshine.The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness of the world.

They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The songs words told of the hardships(艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm(节奏). Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in the blues music.The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes(音符) are often “bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago. There, a new kind of “Chicago” blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style rock and roll.42.
