"Uncle Sam," is usually used to refer to the United States or the US government. It is the nickname of the country.It is hard to believe that this nickname became known quite by accident and there was a man  75   "Uncle Sam."However,not many people have ever heard of such a man.Not even most young Americans.
The man was called Uncle Sam Wilson.He was born in Arlington,Massachusetts, September 13, 1776. At the age of 14 Sam joined the American Revolutionary War(美国革命), and   76    in the army under George Washington until the end of the war.He then moved to Troy, New York states, and began a meatpacking business. He earned a reputation(赢得了声誉)for being honest and hardworking. He was locally respected and admired, thus greeted as Uncle Sam.
One day in 1812,a group of visitors came to Sam's meatpacking plant(肉类加工厂).Among them was Government official. He  77    the capitalized letters(大写字母) EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A worker man replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson,the businessman for whom Sam was working.And he added   78  that US(actually it was the short form for United States) stood for Uncle Sam Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all army supplies were from  "Uncle Sam".
In May 1813,this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York.Since Uncle Sam was an example of a hard-working man and a lover of America, the idea of"Uncle Sam" as the name of this kind of man became well-known rapidly.Uncle Sam was ready to help  79   and place the interest of the nation(国家利益)above all---this is in line with (与……符合)the American spirit. This makes the  American consider Uncle Sam   80  the symbol of the USA.In 1961 the US Congress made a decision that "Uncle Sam" is the America's national symbol.

Are you tired after studying hard? American country music(美国乡村音乐) will take you away for a while. The guitars and songs will take you to the mountains and fields there.

Country is simple music. It talks of everyday life and feelings (情感). It's the "spirit (精神) of America", easy to understand, slow and basic (基本的).
  Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of the American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops (庄稼) or death.
  _Rural_ life can be hard, so the words are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular. In the 1920s, country songs were played on the radio and were made into records (唱片).
  When people moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.
  John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is well-known and people still play it today.
