Most people can hardly imagine what kind of pain orphans (孤儿) feel while growing up, disliked, and laughed at. Will Hunting, the main character in the US film Good Will Hunting, is a good example.

The story is simple.     1     Professor Gerald Lambeau, a math professor, discovers that Hunting has a talent for math.     2     However, Hunting gets into a fight and is arrested (逮捕) after he attacks a police officer. But Lambeau doesn’t give up. He sends Hunting to see a wise doctor. Dr. Sean Maguire, to see if he can help the troubled young man.     3    

“It is not your fault,” he repeats the words while staring at Hunting. He says Hunting no longer has any place to hide.     4     Orphans often feel that no one loves them, and in order to avoid harm, they refuse people’s kindness.     5     We should pay more attention to orphans, not out of sympathy, but out of love.

A．After a period of treatment, Hunting opens up to the doctor and talks about his problems.

D．Hunting is an orphan who works as a cleaner at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US.

【推荐1】Do you have the experience of taking music lessons against your wishes? Perhaps you have complained about it because you thought it took you much playtime. But now you’d better thank your parents for their time and money spent on your musical training. A recent study suggests music lessons can make children have better memories than their peers (同龄人).

The Canadian study showed that after one year of musical training, children did better on a memory test than those who didn’t take music lessons.

The researchers made the children aged between 4 and 6 into two groups—one group of children took music lessons outside school, and the other didn’t take any musical training. In one year, they took four tests in different times. The results showed brain (大脑) development changes at least every four months.

The children taking music lessons not only did better in musical listening but also made faster progress in other ways, such as reading, writing, math and IQ.

People say music is the good medicine for a broken heart. Now it seems music can also help us to improve our memories. We are sure to find more and more in the wonderful world of music.

【推荐2】Yun Siqi from Beijing is a young pianist. He was born in 2001 and started to learn the piano at the age of 4 and it has been his favorite hobby since then. Before that, he often heard his elder sister play the violin and he loved the classical music she played. “I wanted to beat her in something and I chose the piano,” Yun said.

At 4, several minutes of practice a day was enough. As Yun grew up, at the age of 7 and 8, he had to practice for four hours a day. The time kept going up after Yan was 12. Now, he needs to practice at least seven hours every day. He sleeps for only five to six hours a day, but he is still full of energy.

Yun never got tired of the piano. In fact, he had great fun playing it. “Music is my special luck, and it is a real enjoyment to be with it every day,” he said.

Yun worked hard and soon he stood out. From 2013 to now, Yun appeared at different music festivals, concerts and competitions and gave excellent shows. Yun said success or failure were not important and they would not affect his understanding of music or his plan for the future.

“If you lose, think carefully about it, and if you win, just work harder,” the young pianist said. “I still need to practice more to become better, to bring out the real beauty of classical music through the piano. It may take a lifetime.”

【推荐3】Margaret Porter is a violinist and music teacher. According to her, the best age to start learning the violin is between three and six. She says, “It's the time when you are learning about the world.” Margaret, who lives in London, likes to take pupils at three and four. However, she has made lots of exceptions (例外) for five-year-olds. She started teaching the violin in 1972 and she taught her children's five-year-old school friends at first.

Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about twelve pupils and each lesson takes an hour, once half a month. Each pupil also has one individual (一个人的) lesson a week with her. Parents have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.

In Margaret's opinion, it's important for one to know why music sounds the way it does. Without knowing it, one can't become a great musician at all. So from the earliest lessons, pupils in her class learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music (读懂乐谱) until they have been playing for several years. Margaret says that her method (方法) is not meant to produce great violinists. She always suggests that pupils who perform very well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.
