Do you like music? Probably. But do you like all kinds of music? Want to say no? Well, before answering this q{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, you'd better have a good understanding of what music is. A music teacher wanted to tell his students the difference b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} music and noise (噪音). He brought many wooden blocks (大 块) of different sizes to class. The students were very s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to see him throw the blocks at the wall. Everyone thought it was noise. He then took the same blocks and threw them at the wall a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. This time, however, he threw them in a special order (次序). The students quickly found it was a tune (曲 子). "So," asked the teacher, "what is music?" The answer is that it's organized noise.

    Twenty years ago, my father, John, wanted to be a businessman. He wanted to be rich. So he worked very hard and every day he went home very late.

    One night when he came home from work, a robber stopped him and wanted to take his money. My father was very afraid. He didn't want to lose his money. But he didn't know what to do. Luckily a policeman came and caught the robber. My father thanked the policeman politely.

    Now my father is a policeman. He wants to help other people.

Nineteen-year-old Zara Rutherford set the world record Thursday as {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (年轻的) woman to fly alone around the world. Rutherford has travelled in small planes with her pilot parents since she was six. At the age of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (十四), she gained her pilot's license. Then she started flying by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (她自己).

She began her trip around the world on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (八月) 18th. It covered 51,000 kilometers over 52 countries and five continents. On Thursday, Rutherford {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (降落，着陆) her small airplane back in western Belgium. The flight was supposed to take three months, but bad {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (天气) and visa delays kept her grounded and extended the trip by about two months. She met many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (困难) on the way, but she dealt with them {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (成功).

On her website, Rutherford wrote, "Boys learn through toys, street names, history classes and movies that they can be scientists, astronauts, CEOs or presidents." She added, "Usually girls {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (鼓励) to be beautiful, kind, helpful and sweet. With my actions, I want to show women that they can be bold and brave {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (实现) their dreams."

If you walk in the Peking University (北京大学)，you are likely to meet a boy carrying a big bottle of water and a bag of buns (馒头) in his hand. He is ordinary in his looks and wearing, but uncommon in maths achievement. He is Wei Dongyi, a teacher and a math talent in the Peking University.

He is known by the public for an interview. He was asked to cheer up the high school students who were about to take the Chinese gaokao, and he just said "Welcome to Peking University. I don't know what else to say. "It was later leaned that this shy boy once won gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad (国际奥林匹克数学竞赛). Because of this, he was invited to study at Harvard University, but he refused. His reason is also simple: "I don't want to go abroad".

Wei's father is a math professor. This influenced him in some ways. When he was young, he was interested in math while other children loved playing toys. He is a big fan of math.

He was always found reading math books by his classmates.

Although he was so successful, his life can't be simpler! He doesn't like social media (社交媒体) or going to parties. He always takes a bottle of water and refills it with drinking water simply because it is good for the environment.

This genius lives in his own world. He doesn't care about how much he got or outside opinions but he loves his country and math. He is willing to put his whole life into solving math problems.
