The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Traveling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.
Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, "The St. Louis Blues".
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、The blues were born in the country in the South.
B、The blues soon disappeared in big cities.
C、W.C.Handy is the first blues singer in U. S.
D、The most well-known blues song is "The St. Louis Blues".
答案
B
解析
逻辑推断题。A这个事实在第四段第一句,C和D在第四段最后两句,第四段还提及布鲁斯随着黑人进入大城市,但并未提及接下来该音乐形式消失了,因此B为正确选项。
