  Australia is a young nation, and the Australian people come from many different cultural backgrounds.As you make friends here, you抣l find there is no such a person as a "typical" Australian.You抣l come across a wide range of social customs and views of life, some of which may be very new to you.Here we want to present some of the different ways of greeting.

  First names are used more often in Australia than in many other countries.Australians often greet their friends, and even people they don抰 know with" Hey mate(同伴)"or" How抯 it going guys?" An Australian may encourage you to use his given name, to address him informally, or even to use his nickname.A nickname is most commonly used among friends, and is a sign of acceptance and friendship.

  The formal title or family name is only used in formal or other special situations, such as first meetings, or when you speak to someone like a professor.Titles like Mr, Mrs, Ms or Dr are then used, together with the family name.

  In Australia one looks directly at someone when talking to show interest in what he or she is saying.Australians make direct eye contact regardless of social position, and children are taught to look directly at adults.It is not considered impolite to give someone something with your left hand.

Left-Handers’ Day
International Left-Handers’ Day is August the thirteenth. The International Left-Handers Day, Web site says the Left-Handers Club started the holiday in 1992. It wanted left-handers around the world to celebrate. And it wanted to bring attention to the everyday problems of people who use their left hands.
One of these problems is difficulty using equipment and tools, like scissors. In general, most tools and equipment are made for people who are right-handed. The Left-Handers Club tries to educate designers and producers to consider the safety of left-handed people when producing their products.
Another problem is that many people have considered it bad to be left-handed. Some teachers and parents have tried to force children who used their left hands to use their right ones instead.
Scientists do not really know why some people are left-handed. They have believed the reason is genetic.They say the gene(基因) increases the chance of being left-handed. It appears to play an important part in deciding which part of the brain controls different activities. In right-handed people, the left side of the brain usually controls speech and language. The right side controls feelings. However, the opposite is often true in left-handed people.
Scientists believe the gene is responsible for this. The gene showed a link with left-handedness in nine to twelve percent of the population.
About ten percent of people around the world are left-handed.

There is no doubt that music plays a powerful role in our lives. It can calm our tired nerves after a busy day of work. Music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs(激起) an emotional reaction. How then, does music play a role in special education?
If music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher. For students with emotional problems, music can help soothe(抚慰) sadness. Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset. If music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class.
Dr. R. Joseph, author of Behavioral Neurology, writes, “It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere(大脑半球) damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody(曲调).”
For this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music. When students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps make it easier.
Nature magazine reported “Music training helps underachievers. In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes. Half of the classes became ‘text-arts’groups, receiving ongoing music training. After seven months, the students were given a test. The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed(超过) their classmates in math by 22 percent. In the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. Students were also tested on attitude and behavior. Classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas.”
It seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education. For the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging.
【小题1】The first paragraph is mainly about _______.

A.the role of music in education
