Blues, a type of music, developed during the late 19th century in the United States. It was started by African American performers. We can say blues music started around 1890, though we don’t have many records about the early history of blues.
The first publication(发行) of blues sheet music was Hart Wand’s “Dallas Blues” in 1912. Then W.C.Handy’s “The Memphis Blues” followed in the same year. The first recording by an African American singer was Mamie Smith’s “Crazy Blues” in 1920.
World WarⅡmarked the changing from acoustic(原声的) to electric blues and great opening of blues music to many people, especially some white listeners.
During the 1930s, the blacks travelled north towards Chicago. They brought with them blues music, and soon the sound of it filled night clubs in the city. Chicago became the center of blues music. A new type of blues was made—Chicago blues and it was more powerful than all types before.
Blues music became even more popular in the late 1950s. In 1958 the Kingston Trio recorded the number 1 hit, Tom Dooley, which was ranked(排名) first at American folk songs ranking list. For eight years, from 1958 to 1966, the Newport Fork Festival introduced folk and blues music to the white American people. Finally, it became popular among the whites.
After this time, blues was fast merged(融合) with rock music to form the rock blues bands of the 1960s and 70s. The Rollings Stones, John Mayall, Led Zeppelin and others were all famous for their blues music. Blues also directly or indirectly influenced most of popular music during the 20th century, such as jazz, rock, and R&B.

From a large elephant to a small mouse, animals live happily together in Disney’s new movie Zootopia. Judy Hopps, the main character, becomes the first rabbit police officer in the city. While solving a mystery, she meets the smart fox, Nick, who helps her with her case, and some other animals like the lion mayor(市长) and a sloth called Flash. Here is something more about the movie.
There are 64 kinds of animals in the movie. Each kind is special. Elephants have trunks(big noses), pigs have snouts; some animals have feet, some have paws; some animals have three fingers while some have two. Judy’s character is a bit different from real rabbits. Real rabbits actually have a split lip(裂唇), but the film makers decided to keep Judy’s lip all together to look nice.
Film makers learned that not all fur of animals is the same. In the movie, some of polar bear fur is clear. It appears white because the light reflects(反射) off of it. Part of fox fur is dark at the root(根部), getting lighter till its red top. They did so to make sure that the animals in Zootopia were believable.
Moreover, a film maker, Nathan Warner with his partners also took a trip to Africa for researching animals. There they had a close watching of different animals. Based on their discovery, these artists added leaves and sticks to animals’ coats like the big sheep.

After two weeks of meetings in Paris, 195 countries reached an agreement on December 12 to do with climate(气候) change.

The agreement sets the long-time goal of making sure the world temperature does not get 2°C higher than the levels in the 1800s. Otherwise there will be serious problems on Earth like natural disasters.
The agreement also asks countries to volunteer to make promises based on each country’s economy(经济), politics and technology. For developed countries, they will do even more.
