Music is not air or water. But for many Senior High students, music is an important and enjoyable part of life. This conclusion can be made following 21st Century Teens' summer survey on readers' attitudes to music.
Nearly 10,000 readers responded(回答) to the survey in our summer special issue.
Over half, 52 percent, said that they listen to music whenever they are free. Just 0.5 percent of students said they never listen to music. Most listen to both English and Chinese songs in equal amounts.
But, the survey showed that students have very different tastes and enjoy a wide variety of styles. “Our generation is diverse(多样化), and that's reflected in our tastes,” said Liu Yujia, a Senior 3 from High School attached to Xi'an Jiaotong University. Liu is a pop fan but also likes the R&B of Jay Chow(周杰伦), a big favourite among students in the survey.
About 32 percent of students listen to pop music. Behind pop came R&B(28 percent), Country(14 percent), Rock(9 percent)and others.
Only about 10 percent are diehard rock ‘n’ roll fans. An Qi, from Rizhao No. 1 High School, Shandong Province is one. A.Senior 1 girl said that the exciting rhythm has the power that takes her mind off school work and exams.
It is the melody(旋律) rather than the words or fame of singers that students like. Over 60 percent said they choose a song mainly because they like the music.
“Good music makes me believe that it was written just for me-even if it is the first time I listen to it. I think that is why music is so important to young people-more than movies, more than TV,” An Qi said.
TV and movies are the main ways that students hear new songs or music. Forty-six percent of students said they are affected by music played on TV or in films. Friends (21 percent) and radio(19 percent) also play an important role in introducing music to teenagers.
Parents have the least effect on students' taste and do not enjoy the same music. Just 3 percent listen to music that their parents introduce them to. More than half the teens surveyed, 54 percent, see nothing wrong with downloading music from the Internet.

Never Save Something Beautiful for That Special Day
Years ago I was talking with a classmate in Sydney. At the time his wife had just passed away not too long ago. He told me while going through her things, he found a silk scarf _1 in a designer store when they had traveled to New York City. The scarf was beautiful, with elegant _2 , and a high price tag still hanging. His wife begrudged wearing it; she was _3 it for a special day.
He _4 at that moment; I didn’t say anything either. After a long pause he said: “Never save something beautiful for that special day. Each _5 day is a special day.”
Whenever I _6 what he had said, I would put down the things I was doing to grab a novel, turn on the music and lie down on the couch to _7 some time for myself. I would appreciate the glorious scenery of the Tanshui River through a French window, _8 the dust gathered on the glass. I would take my wife out to _9 , not thinking what to do with the meal already cooked. Life should be the experience we truly cherish, not days we just have to endure.
One time I shared the above conversation with a lady. When I saw her again, she told me that she no longer _10 the beautiful china in a cabinet. She had thought to save them for a special day, only to discover that it never _11 came. “Future”, “someday” are not contained in her _12 any more. If there are things that are pleasant or make her complacent, she wants to hear or see them now.
We often hope to gather with old friends, but always say, “let’s find a(n) _13 .” We often want to hug our grown children, but always wait for the appropriate moment. We often want to write to our spouses to express our strong affection or to show our deep admiration, but always tell ourselves that there is no need to _14 . In fact, each morning when we open our eyes, we should tell ourselves that this is a special day. Each day, each minute is so incredibly _15 .
