24、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 help make them get well again. Doctors believe that music is just as important as medicine in treating 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.

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

25、There was once a man called Mr. Flowers,and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glasshouses and grew flowers of every color,with long and difficult names,for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup(银杯)for the Rose of the Year.
Mr. Flowers' glasshouses were very close to middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted(吸引)to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers' glasshouses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glasshouses at the beginning and end of the school day.
But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass,but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster,but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden,but the boys could run faster than he could,and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked all the stones that he could find around his garden,so that the boys would have nothing to throw,but they soon found others.
At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good,strong wood,some meters away from the glasshouses. On it he had written the words:DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE.
