Weve known Mike and Susannah for years. Susannah and I were at university together, but we dont see them that often as they live four hours drive away from us. They have one child, Oscar. Last weekend, we went to stay with them at their home. We had a nice enough time, but a few things came up that made me worry about the holiday. First, they let Oscar do many things we dont let our children do. He watches a lot of TV, eats sugary snacks and has all the latest toys. How will this work on the holiday? How can we tell our children that they cant watch hours of TV if Oscar is allowed to do so? Second, they generously paid the bills of all the expensive activities while we were staying with them. But, again, will the same thing happen during the holiday? We cant afford to shell out for outings every day as we are not as rich as they are. Also, we dont like filling our day with too many organized activities. We prefer walks, picnics and long afternoons of playing in the garden. Finally, they dont seem to do any cooking. When we are on holiday, we always cook. Not only is it cheaper but we actually enjoy cooking with all the local produce. Should we eat separately? I am beginning to think that the whole shared-holiday idea is a big mistake. But it is too late to cancel (取消) it. Have you any idea how we can make it work so that everyone enjoys the time together? I look forward to reading your suggestions. Sincerely, Henrietta 56.

Music plays a huge part in our life and life without music would seem so dull. Even when we were still inside our mother, we heard music. Babies easily fall asleep when they hear lullabies (摇篮曲) and most mothers believe that making their child listen to music at an early age can develop their musical skills.Aside from improving sleep quality and making us feel relaxed, music also helps develop our brain. Studies have proven that musical education or training helps develop the left side of the brain which is responsible for processing language. We easily remember things when we link them to a particular song and this can be very helpful in schooling children. This can help them get good grades especially in math since they can link the songs they sing to the elements of math such as patterns and measurements.Music can also cure people. These days music is used to help treat depression, high blood pressure, brain injuries and many other problems. Most of all, according to researchers, music can help improve peoples memory, if not totally bring it back. Doctors play the favorite songs of their patients to help them recall things. Music is also used to reduce pain after a person receives a surgery. Music also affects the way we live and get along with other people. Creating music together with people in a band can help a person learn how to communicate well with other people. Music activities provide enjoyment for children and adults alike. They have fun making music together with friends and at the same time learn how to sing or play a musical instrument.Music really has amazing effects on us; it may be physical, emotional, social, or psychological (心理上的). Make sure to enjoy life by listening to your favorite music along with your family and friends.64. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The effects of music on us.B.

Many parents are also using them to make sure their children safely enter and stay in the house. If your child ever enters, stays in or leaves your home alone, be sure he or she knows how to do so safely. Every child should remember his own full name, address, home, and work and cell phone numbers of each parent. Also keep this information posted next to the phone at home. If your child is too young to remember this information, he may be too young to be home alone for any time. Teach your child to stay vigilant when he returns to the house. If a door or window is half-open, or he has any reason to think someone has been in the house that shouldnt be, have your child call you, and then wait at a safe house of a neighbor. Tell your child never to answer the doorbell or telephone when they are home alone. Also, set a rule that he must never play outside th
