In February there were more than 80 different bushfires burning at the same time in New South Wales, a southeastern state of Australia. The Guardian newspaper reported that 42 homes were burned to the ground because of these fires. These homes are not like Chinese ones. They are huge farms. Many Australian properties are larger than 1,000 sq km, while the biggest is more than 20,000 sq km, even larger than Beijing!

Every family prepares for bushfire season and protects their property. But sometimes the fires are too big and people have to move to safety

The hot weather also causes other problems. It was so hot in February that thousands of bats(蝙蝠) died from the heat. People can get sick if they stay outside for too long or don't drink enough water The heat can also cause power problems for homes and businesses

The heat, which can go above 40 ℃ in some cities, is very dangerous. There are lots of trees and dry grass in areas far away that can easily catch fire. Even throwing a burning cigarette out of a car window can start a dangerous fire. That is why summer is also known as "bushfire season" in Australia.

The Australian summer is enjoyable. But it is worth remembering that the heat can cause lots of problems, too.

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.【2】The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

【3】Think about violinists in an orchestra ( 管弦樂團(tuán)). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中風(fēng)) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.【4】Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (損壞的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves concentration ( 注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏銳的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.

A.Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.

B.Music helps people solve some hearing problems.

C.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

A: Then, it must be an interesting book. 【2】?

B: It talks a lot about Chinese traditional customs.

A: That’s attractive. I’ve known that Chinese are celebrating the Spring festival these days.

B: That’s right. The Spring Festival is the most important Chinese traditional festival, just like Christmas to us.

A: What else do you know about it?

B: It often falls on January or February. During the festival, all the family members get together to have a rich dinner.

A: 【3】?

B: Kids always play games, play fireworks or watch TV together. They surely have a great time.

A: 【4】?

B: Yes. There is a very special one. Kids can receive red envelopes(紅包) from elder relatives.

A: How amazing! 【5】?

B: They always give the money to their parents. And the parents may save it in the bank. But I think kids should have the right to deal with the money by themselves.

A: I agree. Teenagers should be allowed to make their own decisions. B: Ha-ha…, but it depends on the different culture, I guess.

一個(gè)晴朗的早上，你計(jì)劃散散步來放松自己。Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops (莊稼)in the field will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest(收獲).

Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do. Life isn’t a bed of roses, then, it's very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact, difficulty isn't terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring (彈簧).If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up.相反，你應(yīng)該微笑著面對(duì)困難。Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(樂觀的) attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries:

Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile. The fastest way to lose it is to complain.
