Some people remember the things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes in obvious (明显的) places, such as on the table, on the floor or in the middle of the living room. I don’t think I like to write notes to myself, Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it’s too late. I would rather use an alarm clock to tell me what I should do. I have ten alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example, if I have to make a telephone call or a certain time. I' ll set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a certain television program, I' ll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set, I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don’t know what it means. I always remember setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone, but I can’t be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time.

When you run, you put force that is equal to three times your body weight on your feet. The human foot contains twenty muscles(肌肉). This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. 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 feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? 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 rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “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.”What dose the writer say more about in the text?
| A.Life full of music. |
| B.Life without music. |
| C.The importance of music. |
| D.The development of music. |
What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?
| A.flying | B.looking |
| C.singing | D.living |
From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.
| A.is very important, especially for children |
| B.is very necessary for our everyday life |
| C.can make our life exciting and dramatic |
| D.can enter into another beautiful world |
