20.Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room.Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement.As they made their bed on the hard floor,the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.When the younger angel asked why,the older angel replied"Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable (好客的) farmer.After sharing what little food they had,the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning,the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.Their only cow,whose milk had been their only income,lay dead in the field.

"Things aren't always what they seem,"the older angel replied."When we stayed in the basement,I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune,I asked God if I could seal(封口)the wall so he couldn't find it.Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed,the angel of death came for his wife.I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead.Things aren't always what they seem."

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.

A.is a kind of language
B.can be played much louder than words
