11、r my aunts death, he attended his church more frequently and his morning was nearly unbearable to witness. His only daughter lived across the country in the south so he had only himself to make a comfort. My cousin talked him into selling the house that he and my aunt had built together about twenty

12、 five years before. It was very hard to part with the home they built together. One day he called my cousin who was living in Texas and told her that he reconnected with a lady from a church that he and my aunt went to forty years previously. She played piano and his church was looking for new music

13、. Her husband had died about seven years previously. He said he just wanted someone to go out to dinner with and spend time with. We were happy for them but had no idea how it would turn out. They were both almost eighty-seven years old.They were like lovebirds and spent as much time together as the

19、phenomenon-its part of our culture. As soon as were able to form our own thoughts and opinions, we start comparing. Whos taller? Whos better at sports? Who has more friends? Unlike other childish habits, the urge to measure up(攀比) doesnt ever really go away. In fact, it only increases when we become

20、 teens. “At a younger age, I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasnt that cool,” said a junior student Michael Torres. “So I began doing what they did in order, to fit in with my own friends.” We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others. Magazines,

21、advertisements, storesit becomes all about what other people have or what theyve achieved. Social media adds another player to the problem. Facebook, Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us. She got accepted to Harvard? He bought the brand new Nikes? Theyre datin

22、g? “If I go on Facebook or twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is, Im not feeling good about myself. Its going to make me feel worse,” said Mike Robbins, a senior student. “I try not to let things like that affect me, but in the modern world of technology its hard not to take notice o

23、f what others are doing, and sometimes you want to be just like them.” Before you get caught up in the comparison game, keep in mind one very important detail: When it comes to social media, we often present only the things we want people to see-the good fortunes, happy moments, delicious desserts a

24、nd best smiles. The deeper question is : Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people? Its what we do in our culture: “Look how great I am,” “Look how smart I am,” “Look how happy I am,” and sometimes thats true, but

25、in a lot of cases, its not. While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder, it can also drive us crazy. Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up, remember this: What we have is not a measure of who we are. We already have worth as an individual when we

26、re born. Everything else is what people think of us.24. When do we start to compare ourselves with others? A. When we go to junior schools B. When we were born into the world C. When we have Facebook or Tweeter D. When we have thoughts and opinions25. According to the author, why would people like t

Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music

29、 can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways. I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatle

30、s came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three

31、 months after the assassination(暗杀)of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively sprit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself. Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixe

32、s the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. Its also a great source of inspiration. Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of
