A 15﹣year﹣old student from Sichuan named Wei Fang was preparing a talk on Western festivals． She searched online for information and made a PowerPoint slide（幻灯片）． Zhu Hui her classmate． was doing his chemistry homework． But he couldn't work out the last problem even though he had tried his best．So he took out his smart phone opened a special app and searched for the problem． Solutions appeared on his screen after several seconds．
Like Wei and Zhu，nowadays ， many students do their homework with the help of the internet． They search for information online， or discuss with their classmates through QQ and WeChat．

Fraser Island is in Queensland，Australia，about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane．It is about 120kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide．It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand．In fact，it is the largest sand island in the world．There is no airport on the island，but there is a long beach along the east coast．Planes arrive and leave from here．
The sand makes unusual shapes．There are hills made of sand called sandblows．Nothing grows on them．They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island，getting bigger and bigger．At other places on the island，such as Rainbow Gorge，The Cathedrals and Red Canyon，the sandy rocks have different colors．Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown，like coffee．
Surprisingly，the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals．There are dark forests﹣eucalyptus woods，beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes．There are many kinds of birds，like owls and curlews．There are many animals there，too，such as crocodiles，flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes．
About 500，000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature．People enjoy camping and hiking（徒步）there．Unluckily，the visitors create problems．They damage plants and frighten animals．Their sun cream（防晒霜）makes the water dirty．So it is necessary to manage the visitors．For example，people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes，and they need official papers to drive there．

I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English．So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there．But after having three days of hamburgers，sandwiches and potatoes，I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food，especially my favorite﹣huo guo．You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students．On the way to the canteen，I seemed to smell huo guo in the air．
To my surprise，when I stepped into the room，I didn't see any sign of huo guo．Where was it？
With many questions in my head，I sat down to have the free meal．After talking with an English girl，I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot．Chinese huo guo is written in two words﹣hot pot； and hotpot，one word，is a traditional English dish．
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion．On the top are pieces of potatoes．People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat．It takes very little effort to prepare．You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive．
Hotpot doesn't taste bad．However，I still miss huo guo﹣hot pot，two words!

A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement．Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical（古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to．
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW．Robert Walker，argues that all students should study the works of Western chassical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky．
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage（遗传）because they fail to study classical music，as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop．The lack（缺乏）of music teaching is serious，especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist（专业的）music teachers．
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions，but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools．
"I'm not against pop music，but it's very simple，and not difficult either to play or to sing．"Professor Walker says．"But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australias's culture heritage，most children learn it only through Hollywood films．"
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture．It's part of culture heritage，"he says．"Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West．"
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain，Canada and Australia and is a former chief（首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education．Professor Walker says no school curriculum（课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study，such as the Mendelssohn's．
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music，others on Elvis Presley，or on any music the teacher wants to teach．The situation should be changed as soon as possible，"he says．
81．What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion？
A．Children know nothing about their culture heritage．
B．Classical music education isn't valued in schools．
C．Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing．
