How often do You let other people's rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how 1you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this2at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (车道)when suddenly, a black car jumped3a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake(刹车)as hard as possible, and at the4moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I couldn't5what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started6bad words. But then here's what really7me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved(挥手致意) at the guy. I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy nearly 8us!" He told me what I now remember "The Law of the Garbage(垃圾)Truck."

   He said,“Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. 9their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it.If you let them, they'll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don't feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be10.”

 I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and11it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad12people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don't feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。

    Growing up is not always easy. When we face difficulties, a spirit of depending on 1 is more useful than crying for help. That's what Hong Zhanhui's story of growing from boy to man 2 family hardship tells us.

    Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县), Henan Province. When he was only 11, his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby 3. A year later, Hong's mother 4 home. She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband. So everything hard fell onto the young boy's 5: to take care of his father and the younger sister Chenchen, and to go on to study.

    Although his life was hard, Hong didn't go away from his father and sister. He took several part-time jobs to 6 his family. He climbed tall trees to get birds' eggs for his sister. He walked 2 hours at weekends to the market to 7 different things to sell around his school. A few years later, he studied at a college. To take care of Chenchen, he worked hard to 8 a room near his college for her, and sent her to school.

    After Hong's story went 9, he became a hero in people's eyes. But Hong 10 offers from others. He said he felt encouraged by kind offers, but he could depend on his own work.

    Through his hard life, he has grown up from boy to man.

    My name is Jim White. I 1 a schoolboy. My school is 2 my home. Every day, it takes me 3 to get there. The road is not 4. So I can't go to school 5. I often get there by bus or 6. It takes me thirty 7 to get there by bus and an hour on foot. I must get up very early every morning. I have no time 8 breakfast at home. I often have something for breakfast 9 or on the bus. I don't want to 10 school. So sometimes I run to school.

 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: music boosts certain language abilities in the brain. Here, we look at two examples.

Music and Hearing

A recent study by researcher Nina Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument(乐器) can   improve a person's hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

 Musicians hear better, says Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐队). When the violinists play in a group, they hear their own instruments and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and ignore(忽视) the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to pay attention to certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

 Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical. School, works with stroke patients(中风患者). Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. Why dóes this work? Music seems to activate(使运作) different parts of the brain, including the damaged(被损坏的) parts. This somehow helps patients to use that part of the brain again.

Understanding the Results

 Music improves concentration(专注), memory, listening skills, speaking skills and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏锐的) as we get older. Music, she adds, is not only enjoyable, it is also good for us in many other ways.

 Everyone should eat healthy food and drinks. Vegetables, fruit, milk, eggs are all healthy. Carrots, eggs and sweet potatoes are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}for our eyes. Milk, cheese and fish are good for our {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Chicken soup can make us less tired. A lot of vegetables and fruit help us{#blank#}3{#/blank#} healthy. Ice cream, hamburgers and cola are not healthy. Meat is healthy but too much meat can make{#blank#}4{#/blank#} fat and unhealthy. Too much coffee is bad for our {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

 It is important to have a right {#blank#}6{#/blank#} every day. It is helpful for kids to drink a glass of milk {#blank#}7{#/blank#}bedtime. Now many kids like{#blank#}8{#/blank#} fast food, such as fried chicken and hamburgers. They are popular because it's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}and convenient(方便的). They are delicious but bad. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} children should eat less.

 Remember: eat well stay healthy, stay away from unhealthy food and drink.
