Its the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of songs tell about the lives of famers .They talk about love, crops or death.The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

When they are red-hot, they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say such music is red-hot. Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for people. A person who has a sick feeling in the stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may beupset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks.

Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples. One Friday, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawsons house. When Janet saw him, she suggested crossing to the other side. But Amy said they neednt. When Mr. Dawson saw Amy, he smiled and said, “Hello, Amy! I see you have a new friend with you today.” Amy smiled back and told him that Janet would stay with her that night. Mr. Dawson looked friendly and gave them each a fresh apple. The girls were glad to get them. Later Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he is the most unwelcome person in town. Why was he so kind to us?” Amy explained that when she first walked past his house, she was also afraid of him.

He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that Im also wearing a green one. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves,” he said.The First Experimental Primary School in Xian made children with poor schoolwork and behaviour wear green scarves. Parents were angry. “The punish-ment is too bad. All children need their self-esteem (自尊) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right. It does harm to students self-esteem,” said one mother. Educational expert (专家) Li Zhenxi said that school students have strong self-esteem. They hope to be respected (尊重) and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “Its better to encourage them rather than call them bad students,” he said. Now, the school has stopped the practice. Some schools think more of students self-esteem and have done better in protecting students privacy (隐私) and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using students names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Many teachers in China tell students their grades by sending text messages to their students.Schools and teachers are doing more for students self-esteem. But it is a long way. Both teachers and parents should realize that test scores（得分）are not the only measure (标准) of a students ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard. Adults should make students get to know their own va
