To most people, noise pollution is a jet flying over their head. For one Spanish woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano. The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.

In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is

constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”. Medical reports show she has suffered

from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.

She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up

to10 decibels (分贝)higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room.  The family told the court that they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.

The court hasn’t made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to sun playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me — I hear the notes and can bear them in mind — each and every note,” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory — I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t slop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check. I could have used the ATM, but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had, I probably would not have met Harold.

There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up, so I amused myself by watching TV, just waiting my turn. Moments passed. Then, directly in front of me, a tiny elder woman, who was now first in line, started toward one of the counters. But the customer before her didn't finish, so she had to step back. Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly ahead of us. As he was facing the counter, I could see only his white hair and the bright red team jacket. I heard him say to the teller in a deep, strong voice..."Have a Great Day!" and the teller replied, "You too, Harold-see you next week!"

The impatient woman again made her move, heading for the counter. As she passed him, Harold looked up, directly at me, saying, "You are a handsome man, sir." I was so surprised by his statement and struck by the genuine warmth and generosity that filled it that I blurted out "Thank you, sir." instantly reaching out to shake his hand, out even realizing that he was walking with a walking stick. He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm and firm grip. "I really care about you!" He spoke again. Then he reached out to the next person in line and said, "I really care about you, too!"

I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift! He was like a 4-year-old, who walked up to everyone, inviting them to play with him. I wondered to myself afterwards. How was he attained this state of grace? Imagine the warm feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world, touching people for just a moment. He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality that is still rippling outward as you hear and hopefully, some of what Harold so unselfishly pass on to me, that in attempt to pass on to you—I really care about you!

How did the sea horse get its name? It's not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse's tail, you might think "sea monkey" is a better name. Then there's the sea horse's pouch(口袋). "Sea kangaroo" might also be a good name for this fish.

Sea horse live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings(环境). A sea horse in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp(虾).

Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.

Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).

Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”

Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.

To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.

A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
