18.Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today.However,this issue(问题) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people.For example,if you look at the audience at a classical concert,the majority is over the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine.Many young people listen to classical music without realizing.It is often used in films and advertisements.For example,a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup.Not many people could have given its name,but millions enjoyed it.
Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas; for example,it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912,but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However,young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology.To play a classical instrument,such as a violin,you need to study hard and practise for hours.Nowadays,you don't need to get aching arms from practising.A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to bear in mind is that the term"classical music"is used to refer to a great variety of music,from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So,it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments,but when it comes to enjoying classical music,it depends on the piece of music.It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!

10.Tips for Staying SharpIt's not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you're feeling a bit sluggish(迟钝的)when it comes to remembering things.If you're worried about your forgetfulness,try out these five tips to stay sharp.
(36)AYou've probably heard the term"you are what you eat."If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy.But if you decide to eat fruits,vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you'11 find that you're full of energy.
Never stop learning

Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp.(38)C If you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks.However,if you put forth the effort into being healthy then your body will expel(释放)the energy you need to achieve your goals.
Ensure enough sleep
Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis.(39)FIt also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions.
