    When you're feeling down, the right song can make you smile. It can also calm you down when you're worried. Music may also help make your brain work better. It may even help keep you healthy.

    Why does music have these powers? It may be because people's bodies have natural rhythms (节奏). Different kinds of music can influence you in different ways.

Most stores play soft music, because soft music can make people relaxed and stay longer in a shop. And the longer shoppers stay in a store, the more things they buy in it. So, stores try to play soft music to make people buy more things.

    For sick people, music can do more than just help them relax. It may help make them get well again. Doctors believe that music is just as important as medicine in treating (治疗)patients.

    When you're sick, try to listen to the soft and relaxing music. If you're upset, play a favorite song and tell someone how it makes you feel. A group of sad teenagers shared their favorite songs with each other. Each teen explained why he or she liked the song. After talking about it, the teenagers said they felt better.

    Many studies have tried to explain how music affects learning. Don Campbell, an expert on the powers of music, believes music can make people, even babies, smarter, healthier and happier.

    Campbell wrote the book The Mozart Effect in 1997. However, not everyone believes the Mozart Effect. And people believe more research is needed to prove that music has these effects.

We usually think fish can't talk. But there are a lot of sounds under the ocean. In fact, scientists believe that all sea animals – at least 250,000 kinds – can "speak"! If we stay focused when diving (潜水), "we can hear animals all around us," UK scientist Steve Simpson told the BBC.

In the past years, scientists used sound recorders to hear fish's "voices". There are now thousands of recorders in the ocean. They help scientists match sounds with sea life.

A healthy coral reef (珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the ocean. Scientists can tell if it's healthy by listening to it. A healthy coral reef should be full of clicks (咔嚓声) made by shrimps (小虾). When some coral reefs died in 2015 and 2016, they became quiet. After people set up the protected areas, scientists heard the animals come back.

 By listening to the ocean, scientists start to understand sea animals' languages. Strong clownfish (小丑鱼) make short "chirp(啁啾声)" sounds when going after small clownfish. A damselfish(小热带鱼) can create a pop sound to scare other fish by quickly opening and closing its mouth. Mother dolphins can use a special voice to talk to their babies. They are saying "I'm here" to comfort the baby dolphins.

        Scientists are building an online library called the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds(全球水下生物声音库). It will collect sounds from all over the world to check sea animals' health. Humans need to understand the sounds made by underwater animals before they die out.

Since September,many schools have more PE classes from three time a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China's new standard(标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes. 

The standard not only(不但) asks students to do easy exercise, but also(而且) asks schools to give students other popular sports to do. 

Ma Jiajun, 15, from Jilin, set a new world record(纪录) for "the most consecutive jump triples(连续三摇跳绳)" with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hardworking on not only jump rope(跳绳) but also other kinds of sports. 

"At first tai chi(太极)was only needed during break time to show Chinese traditional culture, but students fell in love with it, " said Guo Yunxiang from a middle school of Shan Dong. Grade 8 students all need to do it, and there is a tai chi competition every year for Grade 8 students. "Different from ball games, tai chi can make me relaxed and help me get ready for the next class. " said Guo. 

"I really enjoy hip-hop dance, " Ren Jianning, a high school student, said, "The class doesn't need any experiences, so anyone can learn it. "Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together in to a whole dance. "Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter. " said Ren.
