Why is music an important subject that every child should study?
First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different kinds of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. 1.我们可以听我们喜欢的音乐。And second, music is fun. People enjoys playing a drum and using their energy.
2.科学家们认为孩子们应该被允许学习音乐。They say music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce them much better. 3.Students who have learnt to play music are also better at math. This is not surprising, as music is mathematical (数学的), with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Children who play in school bands enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.
We need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult for parents to ask their child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. 4.So music practice should be a daily habit, but do not make the practice too long.
Parents should listen to their child playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. 5. It’s also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a relaxing part of the day.

24、Researchers at Georgia Tech have been working to improve a musical robot called Shimon. Now Shimon doesn’t simply play music, he also writes the words to his own songs and sings them.
Shimon has been around for quite a while as a musical robot. Even back in 2015, he was playing with other musicians at the Kennedy Center in New York. What Shimon could do back then was already pretty cool.
Using AI(人工智能), Shimon was taught to write his own music. ① For Shimon, that meant he could not only make up his own music, but do it in real time, while playing with other musicians.
Now Shimon can write the words to his own songs. ② Shimon learned to write the words for the songs the same way he learned to write music—by being “fed” thousands and thousands of examples. Shimon was trained on the lyrics (歌词) to 50, 000 songs.
Georgia Tech professor Gil Weinberg, who leads the Shimon project, gets Shimon going with a starting idea. Shimon then writes the lyrics based around that idea. “You’ll get a word like ‘storm’, and then it’ll produce a lot of relational words, like ‘wind’ and ‘rain’.” He says Shimon gets many ideas, keeps the good ones, and builds on them.
③ To give Shimon a voice, the Georgia Tech team worked with experts at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain. The voice was created using AI and sounds very much like a man.
④ To show off Shimon and his new abilities, the researchers have recorded one of Shimon’s songs, called “Into Your Mind”. They have made a video for the song, which is out on Youlube.
Later this spring, the team plans to put out an album(专辑) of about 8—10 of Shimon’s songs. There are also plans for Shimon to go on tour with a band to play and sing his songs live.
For Mr Weinberg, that’s the main goal behind the Shimon project—not to have robots take over, but to have robots and humans make something beautiful together.

25、 Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me — why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug(拥抱). I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless(无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.
I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

27、 I'm David. Long ago, I came to the city near my hometown to find job. I met all kinds of difficulties and I used up all my money soon.
It was dark outside one day. I got on a bus quietly. Suddenly, a passenger cried in a loud voice, "Someone has stolen my money!" I felt nervous, because his money was in my hand. Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station, but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home. The whole bus was very noisy. The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights. At that time, one passenger said, "Turn off the lights and give the thief a chance to take out the money." Then the bus got dark when I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not. The lights were on again. There was no money on the floor. Someone said again, "Give him one more chance." The lights were turned off again. I became even more nervous. The lights were turned on again, but they got the same result. Then the passengers fell into an open discussion. Later, someone said, "Give him the last chance!" I felt awakened and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again.
For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances. When the first and second chances come, you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act. When the third chance comes, you should know clearly what you should do.
