Music could change the world! In fact in Australia, a scientist, Catherine, has made a music program that’s been putting smiles on the faces of kids in hospitals across the country. “It can make you happy, it can make you sad, it can make you want to get up and dance, and it can make you feel good and take away any stress,” said Catherine..
For thousands of years people have believed that music has a great effect on both the mind and the body, but it was only about 70 years ago that scientists began to study its medical effects. At that time, doctors and nurses found that playing music in hospitals helped sick soldiers feel better. Since then it’s been used to help people with brain problems learn to speak again and help other patients feel less pain and sadness. It’s even been used to help kids in schools get better marks because it allows them to relax and pay more attention.
Now music is being used in a special program called Music Therapy (治疗). It helps people improve their life in many different ways by using music. It can include: listening to music, playing instruments, singing, song writing, action songs and games.
Sophia is eleven. She got bone cancer five months ago, but playing music, learning new songs and singing have become a part of her life. “It takes my mind off feeling sick. While I am listening to music, it tells me not to give up hope. It feels like soon my life will turn around and I will be strong again.
It seems that a few minutes of music a day can help keep the doctor away!

Everybody needs water. All plants need water. We use water to wash cups, cars, clothes and ourselves.
Where does water come from? It comes from the clouds. The clouds can change into rain. Some of the rain water goes down the ground. Some of the rain water goes down the mountains into streams (小溪). The streams come together to make rivers and lakes.
Water can change itself. When water gets very cold, it will become ice. When water gets very hot, it will become steam (水蒸气).

【推荐2】Lots of kids dislike homework. They think if they are working at school all day, they shouldn’t have to do it at home. They should be able to relax, have fun and do all the relaxing things after a hard day at school.
But homework is good for you. You can practice what you learned. You can learn things you need to know by heart. You can learn how to work by yourself.
How to do homework? Write down your homework and make a note of when you have to hand it in. If you have questions, ask the teacher before you go home. Have a special study area—not where there is a TV or music. Make a homework timetable. Write down all the things you will do after school. Do your work on your own. It’s OK to ask mom or dad for help.
