My parents always tell me that I should help other when they are in need. And I do which I am told to do. It was Sunday afternoon. Before I was walking to the park, I sudden saw a boy fall off his bike. I hurried to him and helped him up. Since one of his legs were badly hurt, the boy could not stand up for himself. I took him to a nearby hospital at once so that the boy got treat immediately. Then I telephoned his parents and told them about the whole story. They thank me again and again. It was dark and I said goodbye to them. Even though I couldn’t go to the park, but I felt very happy.

Ted talks bitterly about being made to play the clarinet as a kid. For three years during his teens, his parents required him to spend an hour after dinner every night practicing. His parents wanted him to be in the marching band. They disagreed with him when he thought maybe jazz was more his thing. 1. However, he learned to hate it.
Angela was forced to take up the violin when she was 12. During her practice, she would close her bedroom door, lay the violin on her bed and pull the bow back and forth across the strings while reading her favorite novels. Then she tried to make them believe that maybe the violin wasn’t for her.2.
The parents of both of the kids were wellintentioned(出于好心的). 3. They saw it as their responsibility to provide the opportunity to have lessons and to insist on regular practicing.
They weren’t wrong to want music in their kids’ lives.4.
●Music can help adjust the mood.
●Making music and listening to it develop the part of the brain that is involved with language and reasoning.
●So many mathematicians, engineers and architects are also musicians. There are facts showing that learning an instrument helps in the development of spatial-temporal skills.
●Making music is a way to make friends and to improve self-esteem.
●Best of all, playing an instrument is a skill that can be enjoyed and shared over a lifetime.
Both Ted’s and Angela’s parents’ hearts were in the right place. But they, like many parents, failed to understand that providing lessons would not make their kids into musicians if practicing was a chore(令人厌烦的工作) instead of a pleasure. Music educators are clear: 5. Ideally, music lessons are something we do with our kids, not to them.
A. They wanted him to love his instrument.
B. Playing instruments is good for your health.
C. Much to her relief, they stopped the lessons.
D. Understanding kids is very important, especially for parents.
E. Kid’s success in music depends on parental involvement.
F. There are many good reasons to give kids lessons on an instrument.
G. They believed that playing an instrument would give their kid some kind of advantage.
Theresa May is the second female prime minister(首相), taking charge of the UK at one of the most hard times in recent political history.
Born in Sussex but raised largely in Oxfordshire, Mrs. May was educated in a grammar school in the village of Wheatley. The young Theresa Brasier threw herself into village life.
Like Margaret Thatcher, she went to the University of Oxford to study. In 1976, in her third year, she met her husband Philip May. They were introduced at a Conservative Association disco and got married four years later.
Her university friend Pat Frankland, speaking in 2011 on a BBC Radio 4, said, “I cannot remember a time when she did not have political ambitions(政治抱负).”
There are no tales of drunken student celebration, but Pat Frankland and other friends said May was not the serious figure she would later come to be seen as, and that she had a sense of fun and a full social life.
After graduating with a degree in geography, May went to work in the Bank of England. But it was already clear that she saw her future in politics. Like Margaret Thatcher, it took a bit of time for her to find hers. She first dipped her toe in the water in 1992, when she gained a Labour seat in North West Durham. She entered Parliament in 1997 and Theresa was chosen as Home Secretary(内政大臣) in May 2010 and became the longest-serving Conservative Home Secretary for over 60 years. During this time she was in charge of reductions in crime, reform of the police, and the introduction of the landmark Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Following her election as Leader of the Conservative Party, Theresa was chosen as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 13th July 2016.
