　　It was a dark night．I saw bright light in my neighbor, Jack’s kitchen．I thought he could be having a midnight snack, so I went back to my bed．Soon, there was a burning smell and I thought something must be wrong．At once, I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to have a look．I saw a fire coming out of my neighbor’s kitchen．I shouted “Fire!” But there was no one nearby to hear my shouts for help．I ran quickly into my house and called the Fire Department and went back to my neighbor’s house．I knocked at the door and called my neighbor’s name, but there was no answer．I tried to break into the house and saved a cat and a rabbit．I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no use．The fire was too big．Luckily, a fire engine arrived and the firemen put out the fire．

　　When my neighbor came back, he was sad because his kitchen was burnt down, but he thanked me for calling the Fire Department and for saving his pets．

　　Several weeks later, my neighbor invited me to his home for dinner．At his new kitchen, he took a photo for me．Later on, he gave me the photo as a present．It made me very happy．

　　Mother Teresa once said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person．” However a recent survey showed that 25％of Chinese never smiled or smiled less than five times a day．It also found that 2％of Chinese were willing to smile at strangers．

　　To make a change, forty students from Shanghai Normal University started a team of “Smiling Volunteers”．Their first smiling task was to smile at all the visitors in the Shanghai Film Art Centre and asked if they needed their help．Not all studnets found it easy to smile all the time．“When volunteers help other people, smiling is the best way to make them understand that volunteers are ready and sincere(真诚的)．” One team leader said．

　　A teacher in charge of(负责)the team thought the team's work was not all fun and games．“Most of our students will be teachers after they leave the university．Smiling is necessary for good teachers．We hope they can learn how to smile at each other,” she said．

　　Everyone smiles in the same language．So it's not important whether you are a teacher or not．After all, sincere smiling and helping hearts are the most important．If today don't start a day with a smile, it won't be too late to start practising for tomorrow．Remember “The world always looks brighter from behind a smile．”

　　It is true that music is everywhere in our life．Some people like to sit by the sea and listen to the sound of the sea．Some enjoy listening to the singing of the birds．Those sounds are some kind of music．So music has meaning for everyone in some way or other．Of course, it has special meaning for people like me．We spend our lives playing or writing music．
