   Most parents are crazy with their children's little white lies,but here is a piece of good news. A study has shown that children who lie from an early age are more likely to become high-flying leaders,executives (管理者) and bankers. The study of 1 ,200 children has found that a fifth of two-year-olds are likely to tell lies,rising to 90 percent from the age of four. At the age of 12 ,it reaches the highest.

   Dr Kang Lee studied children from the age of two to seventeen. He said ,“Parents should not be worried if their child tells a lie about something that is not important. Almost all children lie. Those children who lie better mean that they can cover up their mistakes. “They may become executives in later life. Lying shows that children have developed executive ability — an act which involves several brain processes to keep the truth at the back of their mind ,” Dr Lee said. 

   Dr Lee told the children not to look at a purple Barney toy dinosaur (恐龙) placed behind their back. He then left the room for one minute —giving them time to look,while their activities were filmed. Nine of the ten children did turn around.

   But most of the children denied (否认) it. While the study found the most dishonest age was 12 ,it dropped to about 70 percent once the children turned to 16 years old.

  It was a sunny day;I was very happy and excited. When we arrived there,my father warned me that the river was very dangerous and made me promise not to walk up to it. I promised my father,but I did not keep my promise.

  I forget why I walked into the river. Maybe I was curious. I walked into the river,and I fell down because the river was very deep. I could not stand or touch the bottom. I cried out loudly,but nobody was there,except my younger brother.

  I remember that my younger brother was very scared and did not know what he could do because he was just one year younger than me. He jumped into the river,but that just made the situation worse because he was even shorter than me and he could not swim. Both of us cried out.

  Fortunately,there was a farmer who was working there. He found us and saved me first. At that time,I could no longer see my brother. I cried louder,and I shouted to the farmer ,“Please save my brother!” He was very shocked because it turned out he had only seen me. He asked me ,“Are you sure that your brother fell into the river?” “Of course,I am sure!” I answered. 

  Then,my father arrived and started looking for my brother in the river. Finally,they found him and took him to the hospital. Luckily my younger brother was alive,or else I could never forgive myself.

   Learning to play an instrument in the right way can be one of the most satisfying and exciting ways to spend your free time. With the right dedication and hard training,you can learn to play any style of sound,any kind of instrument,and start speaking the language of music.

In some secondary schools,music classes may also be available. In junior high school,music usually continues to be a required part of the course.
