19．Music is magic!Music speaks louder than words and it is a"language"that the whole world can understand．A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind．Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal，music has a spiritual effect on a person．Different kinds of music influence people in different ways．
I have listened to music an my life．when I was twelve years old，the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up．Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America．Their influence changed the way we dressed，looked，acted and spoke…even our culture．The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just three months after the assassination（暗杀）of President John Kennedy，which had put America into a great depression．And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself．
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer．This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it．And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world．Music has a great way of touching people．Music can make you laugh，cry or shout．It's also a great source of inspiration．
Try this one day and notice what happens：make yourself a cup of tea，sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs．Close your eyes，and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images-matching the music that you are listening to．

7．Ants are troublesome，best known for itchy bites and ruining picnics．But，a new species of crazy ant is taking over Texas．In some ways they appear to be worse than fire ants and there's no good way to stop them．These ants move fast and are plentiful in some areas．
The crazy ants first sprang in Pearland in 2002 and have been becoming more and more of a problem ever since．"An invasion of these can be so extreme that it's hard to call it just a nuisance，"University of Texas entomologist Edward LeBrun told The Austin American-Statesman．"The ants have been known to crawl into and ruin televisions，appliances and other electronic devices．No one is entirely sure why，"He said．
David Oi，a research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture，told The New York Times in 2013，the strange idea that the ants are actually attracted to the electricity itself can't be ruled out．
The crazy ants or Raspberry ants-yep，that's actually what they are called-are found in 23 Texas counties．The ants have very little venom（毒液），but do cause a slight sting when they bite．Mostly，though，they're a hazard to electrical equipment．
They are a relatively new species in the region and little is known about how to control or kill the population．And，unfortunately，there doesn't seem to be much that can be done about them right now．So，for the moment，the best advice is not to stay close to ant piles and groups，and hope that none make it inside to crawl around the electronics．
