根据短文内容，判断正误．正确的填"T"，错误的填"F"．
To me， life would be boring without music． I realize that it is not true for everybody． Many people get along quite well without going to the concerts， and listening to the CDs． But music plays an important part in everyone's life， whether he realizes it or not． Try to imagine， for example， what films or TV plays would be like without music． Would the feeling， the moving story， and the greatest interests， be so exciting？ I'm not sure about it．
Now， we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning- the kind of music we hear in the concert hall． But if we look at some parts of music more closely， we discover them in our everyday life， too-in the sound of the sea， the singing of a bird in the woods and so on． So music surely has meaning for everyone． And， of course， it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music．
It is well side， "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty， expresses himself from his heart， feels the joy of doing things alone， learns to take care of others， develops his mind and makes his body strong．"
（1）Music is very important in my life．
（2）Some people don't realize the importance of music．
（3）Music can't be found everywhere in everyday life．
（4）Music has meaning， especially for musicians．
（5）The writer talked mainly about the development of music．
American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact， there are some important differences between British English and American English．
（1） Often， Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know"．Or they may say "Whaddya say？" instead of "What did you say？" However， the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．（2） Americans drive trucks， but in England people drive lorries．
（3） In England， if you are going to telephone your friends， you "phone them up"．In America， you "give them a call"．
There are also some differences in grammar．For example， Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question．They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb．（4）
Most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places， the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．（5） Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．
A． English is widely used in China．
B． It can also happen to other languages， such as French．
C． For example， the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．
D． They say "Have you a storybook？"
E． English in these two counties is different only in sound．
F． First of all， they sound very different．
G． Many expressions are also different in the two countries．
