It was brought to the United States by African black people and then was accepted by people of the south to create their country music.Christian Stanfield said, “I fell in love with it as soon as I heard the banjo, I really wanted to learn that new instrument. So I borrowed a banjo from him for two or three months and when I was ready to get a banjo of my own, he introduced Tommy to me. He told me not to buy a banjo on the Internet or in the store.”Tommy was Tom Georgeone of the best-known banjo makers in the U.S. Tom George knows a true banjo-lover when he sees one. So, when Stanfield asked to become his student, George quickly agreed. Tom George, however, did not have a teacher. He taught himself how to build banjos.“I wanted a banjo when I was a teenager, so I mowed (割草) yards around my neighborhood to raise money and I bought a banjo. The one that I bought wasnt very good, so I started trying to improve that one.”Today, George and Stanfield have a banjo-making workshop. The two men make everything by hand. So, it is not surprising that it takes around 4 to 6 months to make one banjo.The banjo has two separate parts: the round part and the straight part. The round partthe boy of the banjois made of wood bent around a form to give the instrument its round shape.“I will cut it into smaller pieces like this. And Ill put it in a steam (蒸汽) box and the steam will make it very soft. And then I will put it in this form and it will actually be able to bend without breaking. Itll bend around this.”After the banjo is finished, Tom George carefully wipes it clean. It is ready to be played.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。16 .

On that day people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.One April Fools Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarket to buy as much as spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water.

By the end of the day,more than 10000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.Many April Fools jokes may end up being not very funny.
