many of us actually play a musical instrument? How many of us go to concerts? How important is music
in our lives? What kind of music do we like?
The survey above shows the musical habits of a few of our readers. Interestingly, fourteen people out
of the twenty questioned actually play a musical instrument, while only six people don't. Out of these, ten
people practice their musical instrument between 0-3 hours a week and the other four between three and
six hours a week.
The best instrument to play is the guitar; eight people say it is their favourite instrument to play. Another
four people like playing the piano and two like playing the violin. Two people, however, don't like playing the
violin or the piano as they think they are too difficult.
Pop concerts are always popular but, in this survey only eight people say they like going to concerts, six
to pop concerts and two to jazz concerts.
A higher number, eighteen, say they like listening to music as they find it relaxing. Only two people don't
like listening to music at all. These results seem to suggest that we are more actively musical than we think...

part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears
do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In the past
people thought that a person's ears with color were dangerous. They also thought
that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too
many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person
is musical.
Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you
look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size (中等尺寸), or
small. Look at the lobes(耳垂). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always
red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly
white color mean that a person has a nervous character.
B. our ears will be the same size.
C. our ears will get colder
D. our ears will not change in shape.
B. he/she is very happy.
C. he/she may get angry easily.
D. he/she drinks a lot.
B. the size, color and shape
C. his mouth, eyes and nose
D. the hair, eyes and color

A beautiful and very successful actress was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn't want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the center of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colors.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show in the evening, because everybody wanted to see her. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter's bill.
