Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that is included in one’s possessions Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with intangible forms of property Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for example books magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property

Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the ownership of the creator When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a tangible object However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the articles The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors , publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid

Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property Music may be played by anyone after it is published However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee called a royalty A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays On the other hand, names, ideas and book titles are excepted Ideas not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book a painting or a musical work Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed

The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy Plagiarizing the work of another person means passing it off as one’s own The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plaglarus, which means “abductor” Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties to the creator Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape a computer program, or a book Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modem societies In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group Cooperation itself is not a value Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary prestige, or power Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation

After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society Young people were staying at school longer more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution

American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest African-

Americans Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they still brought with them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into what is recognized around the world today as American music

However, there is a lot that we know

The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals Spirituals are religious songs They are songs that tell a story or express emotions Spirituals have a strong rhythm They are often sung by a group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings the refrain Spirituals originated in the Southern United States Spirituals sung by slaves often expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives Well know spirituals include "Go Down Moses," "Deep River, " and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."

After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States Harry Thacker Burleigh was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert Marian Anderson, well known for her classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too Spirituals influenced the development of another well-known form of American music - the blues

The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals Blues were often sung solo, and sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music As the name suggests, the blues were often about sadness and facing troubles However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant One blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith Another early blues musician was w C Handy Handy was not only a

musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and published blues songs

During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also quickly gaining in popularity Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat Often played on the piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag.”

Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together In their own kind of melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other influences recombined to form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz In the late 1800’s jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular American music It would go on from there to worldwide popularity Jazz would branch out into many forms, and it would influence future styles of American music

Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring their music It’s a shame that they can’t also name the earliest African-Americans who really began the traditions that led to the American music of today

D in the late 1800s
