6．Each Sunday，people can hear the music of the Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco．The Spanish missionaries（传教士）built the church in 1791．It was the start of a special kind of neighborhood：the Mission District．The area is a place with a long and varied history．One community member says that it's important for people to understand the many levels of history in the neighborhood．He feels that this knowledge is a big part of understanding what it means to be a real San Franciscan．
One of the most interesting parts of the district is its people．Over the years，immigrants have come to the area from Ireland，Germany，and Italy．But the most recent immigrants are mainly from Latin America．It's easy to see the style that these recent additions give to the neighborhood．You can see it in the art on the walls，taste it in the food，and hear it in the music!
Juan Pedro Gaffney，the director of the Spanish Choir（唱诗班）of San Francisco，says that the people there share the pain and the happiness of their friends and family members and that music has always been a basic part of cultural identity in the district．He feels that the music of the district is colorful and lively．
But it isn't just its music that's colorful and lively．Its art is full of life as well．
The local art community stays close to the area's culture and tradition．A local arts organization often leads people on walks through the district．They visit streets like Balmy Alley，which is famous for its murals （壁画）．Even though the meanings behind the murals are always changing，they are still very powerful．One artist explains that they are fighting for fairness in the community and to help the environment through murals．Apparently，they're something the community likes．
Many of these artists feel that the district is a successful neighborhood where new immigrants are welcome．"People see that they're not so different from each other，"says one artist．"There are a lot of things that bind（捆绑）the immigrants through culture and tradition．"

14．Teenagers who spend quality time with their parents are more likely to want to further their studies，according to research from the University of Warwick．Researchers found that adolescents who take part in cultural activities with their mother and father were more likely to aspire（渴望） to continue their studies post-16than those who didn't．This is compared to even those who attended homework clubs or participated in extra-curricular activities．
Dr Hartas led the research．She said："Filial（子女的） dynamics such as emotional closeness to parents and cultural capital were better predictors than more school-driven parent-child interactions．"Factors relating to family emotional closeness，bullying，friendships，homework，extra-curricular activities and perception of parental interest in the child's education were examined．The researchers measured responses to questions about a variety of topics such as visiting art galleries，discussing books at home，the number of evenings spent doing homework，relationship with siblings and quarrelling with parents．
Dr Hartas and her team found that the willingness to solve problems was a strong predictor of educational aspiration．Adolescents who indicated they were less confident at handling problems were 30% less likely to rate gaining GCSEs important．In addition those who expressed a lower level of general well-being were 18% more likely to choose not to go to university．Closeness to parents was an indicator of attitude towards GCSEs； those who did not feel emotionally close to their parents were two times higher to consider GCSEs unimportant．However，emotional closeness to parents was not found to be significant in predicting a desire to attend university．
What the researchers termed‘cultural capital'or participating in cultural activities also appeared to affect the desire to study further．Those who weren't exposed to cultural activity were 14% and 20% respectively less likely to consider university or GCSEs as important．Those who did go to museums，galleries，concerts etc．were found to be 23% less likely to consider training or employment post-16．
Dr Hartas said that these findings had significant implications for family and educational policy，especially with regard to"raising aspirations and reducing early school leaving．"They also raised the issue of reconsidering the role of the home environment as a web of emotionally and intellectually charged relationships between parents and children rather than an extension of the school day．
