Dear Rita,
How are you? Last time you asked me about the greatest invention in my eyes. I have also discussed it with my best friends, Anna, Sue and Kris. We have different ideas. Anna thinks it is the high-speed railway; Sue, the shared bike; Kris, the online shopping; and I prefer the Internet.
The Internet is just like a net, and it connects us with the world. In the past, it was nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other countries. They had to spend a long time to reach their destinations (目的地), and not everyone could do that. But the Internet has made the impossible possible. Now we can communicate with foreigners online.
The Internet also helps us know what is happening around the world, and has made our life and work easier. In recent years, shopping online is very popular. We can just stay at home and buy what we need online. We can also do online office work and distance education. Besides, we can watch movies, listen to music and even play games to relax ourselves on the Internet.
So, I think that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions. It has changed our world! Although there are still many problems with the Internet, they will be solved in the near future. As a student we should make good use of the Internet!
Yours,
Martin

3. For what purpose does the writer write the letter?

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 1 Here, we look at two examples:
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（管弦乐团）．When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. 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（中风）patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 4 Why dose this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged（损坏的）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 ability. 5 Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp（敏锐的）as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.
A. It can even help sick people get better.
B. Music helps people solve some hearing problems.
C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.
D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.
E. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helps his patients to speak.
