On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion(手风琴) and said excitedly, "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." But I didn't want to play it. Ijust wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.
One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "You’re your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn to play it."
I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn't allow. I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. And you'll understand why you've worked so hard." I was speechless.
The lessons stopped after I finished high school. When I grew up, I got married and moved into a new house. I put the accordion in the attic(阁楼).
One afternoon, my two children found the accordion by accident (偶然). They got very excited. "Play it. Play it," they laughed and said. I started to play some simple songs. I was surprised I could still remember them. Soon the kids were dancing. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat.
At that moment, my father's words came back to me, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had. And you'll understand." I finally knew why Dad had asked me to practice hard. Dad never learnt to play his violin. But I told my family, "This is my father's music."

  Siri on iPhone 4S is like a personal assistant.It lets you use your voice to do things on the iPhone.You can just talk to Siri as you talk to a person.Siri understands what you say,knows what you mean,and even talks back.

  Say something like “Tell my wife I'm running late.” “Remind me to call the doctor.” “Any fast food restaurants around here?”,and Siri does what you say,finds the information you need,then answers you.It's like you're having a conversation with your assistant.

  Siri not only understands what you say,but it's also smart enough to know what you mean.So when you ask,“Any fast food restaurants around here?” Siri will reply,“I found a number of restaurants near you.” Then you can say,“Hmm,how about hamburgers?” Siri remembers that you just asked about restaurants for something to eat,so it will look for KFC restaurants in the neighborhood.And Siri is active,so it will question you until it finds what you're looking for.

  When you want to do something,just ask Siri to help you do it.Siri uses almost all the built-in apps on iPhone 4S.It plays the songs you want to hear.It gives you directions and shows you around.It makes calls,plans meetings,helps you remember and wakes you up.In fact,ask Siri what it can do-it even speaks for itself.

  Siri is easy to use and does so much.You'll keep finding more and more ways to use it.
