A. Snowboarding is one of the most popular sports in the USA and 40 per cent of snowboarders are teenagers. Why is it so popular with young people? It is easier to learn than skiing and riders can quickly become confident. Snowboarding is similar to other cool sports such as skateboarding or surfing. Snowboarding is about having fun. It is just as popular with girls as it is with boys.

B. Rock came to public attention in the 1950s. Its rhythmic style probably originated in the traditions of black Americans, but a young white singer named Elvis Presley helped to make rock a household word. Rock appealed to teenagers and sometimes angered parents, but it gradually attracted a wide audience.

C. Snowboarding used to be the coolest winter sport. But now freestyle skiers are doing the same tricks as snowboarders. Freestyle skiing is one of the most amazing winter sports to watch or to do if you're brave enough because the skiers jump as high as fourteen metres in the air.

D. Climbing is a sport of the brave. Can you imagine being too cold, not having enough air to breathe and carrying something heavy a very long distance? These are some of the difficulties that climbers have to prepare for. They need to be calm and have very strong fingers. Some people climb with bare hands, no ropes and no helmets. They're called solo climbers.

E. By 1750, composers were tired of the complicated many-voiced music of Bach [ba:k] and Handel ['hændl]. They were looking for a simpler musical language. The result was the music of the classical period (about 1760 to 1790). By 1790, still another style was beginning to take over from the classical style. Composers were looking for a musical language that would more nearly express their thoughts and feelings. The new style came to be called Romantic and it influenced serious musicians for more than 100 years.

F. Immigrants to the United States brought folk music from their native countries. The blacks of the South also developed their own special folk material. Combining African and Western forms, they created blues and a wide variety of music for dancing from the ragtime of the 1890s to the later jazz. Perhaps their greatest contribution was the development of jazz.
