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.

In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able.
At that time, there was another interest in the life of the young Ford. He wished of making a machine.
It could run without horses, so named horseless carriage. He overcame a lot of difficulties and in April 1893, the “horseless carriage” was invented at last. It was the first car.

四、任务型阅读。
The most popular touristy sight in China is Tibet.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the first railway between Tibet and other parts of China. It is 1,142 kilometers long and is the world’s highest railroad.
About 960 kilometers of it is over 4,000 meters above the sea level. Many people thought it was impossible to build a railway so high. But the railroad was successfully completed last October.
The railway makes travel cheaper for Tibetans. Most of them don’t have enough money to travel by air.
It will also bring more tourists to Tibet. A recent Xinhua report said that the new railway will bring 3,000 to 4,000 tourists to Lhasa each day. In Shanghai, one travel agency has worked out a 10-day-trip from Shanghai to Lhasa at a price of 3,600 Yuan.
A railway trip to Tibet is more comfortable than driving or flying. Each train has special windows to keep out ultraviolet rays（紫外线） and sandstorms.
Thin air makes you feel sick. To stop this from happening, the train gives oxygen through its air-conditioning system. If you feel sick, you can find oxygen masks near the seats.
