1 . A few weeks ago, while I was driving to a friend’s house, I saw a mom and her child walking their dog along the road. The mom was wearing a really cool jumpsuit（连体衣）.
As I was driving past, I had my window down and shouted, “I love your jumpsuit!” She was surprised for a while and then smiled as I drove off.
After visiting my friend, I drove back and went to fill up my car. At the petrol station（加油站）, I saw the same woman again. As she was passing the entrance（入口）, I said, “Excuse me, were you just walking your dog not long ago?”
“Was that you? I was having such a bad morning and you really turned it around for me. Thank you,” she said with a big smile.
It made my heart sing and I almost cried. We gave each other a high five（击掌）and went on our way.
When you see something cool, just say it, as the person may need to hear it. When you feel excited to do something, act on it. You will make a difference.

One student put up his hand and said, “I can smell it. It is the smell of an apple.”
The teacher passed by each of the students and said, “Smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air.”
Half of the students raised their hands to show that they could smell it. The teacher asked again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone raised their hand except one little girl. The teacher came to the girl and said, “You really can’t smell the apple?”
The girl answered, “No, I can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a real apple.”

3 . ①“Without music, life would be a mistake, ” famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.
②For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired（解雇）over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
③However, learning music is beneficial（有益的） in many ways.
④When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
⑤Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she.
