To me, music is food and water.I can't live without it.I know this is not true for everybody.Many
people don't listen to music and they can get along quite well.But music is everywhere in our life.For
example, when you watch films or TV plays,do you find them interesting if there is no music?You
would find them boring.And when you are waiting for the train or the plane,you would like music
because it makes the time seem shorter.
     It is true that music is everywhere in our life.Some people like to sit by the sea and listen to the
sound of the sea.Some enjoy listening to the singing of birds.Those sounds are some kinds of music.  
So music has meaning for everyone in some way or other.Of course, it has special meaning for people
like me.We spend our lives playing or writing music.
     Someone said,"Though music a child goes into a world of beauty, learns to take care of others
and makes his mind and body strong."Music is an important part of our lives.

                                                Four ways to have a good school-life
    Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most
from them, and make sure you do not waste this excellent chance to learn?
     Be active at school
     Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join lots
of activities. ①(hands, quickly, your, class, in, up, put). Go around the school with a big smile. If you
are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers can not make everything enjoyable.
     Keep fit
     If you donot eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do
not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. ②Play enough sports every day in order to keep your
body strong.
     Face the problem
     Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in
front. ③You can not finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some
matches and has bad days. Don't let small problems seem very big and important. Don't forget to ask for
help. You are young, no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
     ④                 
     Don't waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play a sport, get together with
friends in the park to relax, learn the piano, or help someone with problems. If you don't want to go out,
there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practise English or help Mother with housework.
     Follow our advice, and have a happy school-life!

    What do you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as
singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
    The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all
different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
    The trees feed the forest "people" by making food in their leaves, by using sunlight to join water and
minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying
out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
    Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the
farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks to sell it to us. We
need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we
need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
    We also need other human being in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems,
exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
    Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to
help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know,
being a volunteer is so great.
