Have you ever heard of the saying, “If you want a friend, be one.”? What does it mean?
There are many different things that you can do to make friends. You may find out what they are if you watch someone make friends.
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the school. When the bell rang, the teacher smiled at all the students. Then she said, “ Good morning! How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year! I want to know each of you very much. I am sure we will enjoy working together.”
The teacher smiled, used a pleasant voice, and acted in a friendly way. She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do with them during the year. The students knew that she liked many of the same things they liked.

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I know that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, or listening to the tape. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he knows it or not. Try not to think, for example, what films or TV plays would be without music. I’m not sure about it.
Now, we can enjoy music more easily—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we find them in our everyday life too—the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music has meaning for everyone.
It is well said, “ Through music a child enters a world of beauty, express(表达) 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.”From the text, we learn that many people____________.
