    From the top of the world's highest mountain,Mark called his wife to say he made it.His wife,Anne,got the phone when she was sleeping.She could hardly believe it.Because she knew how hard it would be for Mark to reach the top.She said his“legs”didn't work well sometimes,so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.

    World Music Day is a music festival. It's on June 21st every year.

    In 1976, an American musician, Joel Cohen, suggested the idea of an all­night music celebration. He wanted the festival to happen on the longest day of the year. The idea was adopted(采用)by French Music and Dance director (舞蹈总监) Maurice Fleuret in 1981 and first took place in 1982 in France. Then the idea quickly spread(展开)to over one hundred cities around the world. The idea behind World Music Day is to promote(推广)music. This happens in two different ways. The first way is that people play their music and perform in the streets. The second way is to hold free concerts.

    Many of us can't live without music. World Music Day is more than just a festival. It's also a meeting place and a good time to put the music from each country together. The festival is popular with people in the world, and more and more people join in it.

From the Other Side

Lara and Tara are twins. They look like each other, but they are very different in everything else. For example, hot food is Lara's favorite, and Tara has a sweet choice.

However, this isn't the problem with the twin girls. They always argues that the opposite one was wrong. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, while Tara thought mornings were fresh and it was difficult to stay up till midnight.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} To put an end to their fights, their parents decided to create a small drama. They wanted the girls to understand that they were both correct from their own point of view. Their parents covered the girl's eyes with black ribbons (带、条), and brought them to the dining room. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Lara was asked to stand on one side of the board and Tara on the other. They couldn't see the other side of it. When the ribbons were taken away, they were surprised to see a huge board between them.

Now, their father asked Lara, "What's the color of the board?" She replied, "It's black!" {#blank#}4{#/blank#} She replied, "It's white!" The two girls began to argue again. While Lara was confident it was black, Tara was sure it was white. Then, they were asked to exchange (交换) their places. They couldn't believe their eyes. Tara, who insisted (坚持) it was a white board, saw a black one. Similarly, Lara, who argued the board was black, was surprised to see a white one. They understood that each of them was right in her own view. Most of us are like Lara and Tara. We are right most times, but insist that others are wrong!
