    Mrs. Knowles with her three sons was driving from her home in Perth to Adelaide in the early hours one morning when she saw a strong light on the road. She slowed down, thinking that it was a traffic light. Suddenly, a strange light seemed to be on the top of the car, trying to pick the car up away, and off the road, before dropping it again. Terrified and out of control, the family noticed some black powder(粉末)coming into their car and it smelt terrible. Just at that moment, they saw something else in the light it looked like a man. Maybe it was an alien. It had a black body with a white face and two white hands. But luckily it was gone in a short time.

    The family were very surprised and scared. They drove to the nearest town and reported the strange thing to the police. At first, the police thought that the woman must have been so tired that she was dreaming. They only gave her a cup of tea to calm her down. Finally, the police agreed toinspectthe car, and to their surprise, they saw the powder, smelt the terrible smell and also found some small dents(凹痕)on the top of the car. And another driver on the same road, said he had also seen the strange light in the distance.

    A long time ago, there was a king who liked music so much that he ordered his men to get him the best instrument in the world.

    One day, a young man offered the king a harp (竖琴). The king took it to the palace, but when he started playing it, the harp was out of tune.

    Many other musicians tried it, and they agreed that the harp was useless(没用的) and the king had been cheated. The harp was thrown out as rubbish.

    A poor little girl later found the harp. And even though she did not know how to play, she decided to have a try. She played and played, for months and years, always with the harp out of tune, but she played better and better.

    Then one day, suddenly, the harp began to play the most beautiful music. It was a magic harp, and could only be played well by someone willing to spend much time practicing.

    One day, the king heard the music from his window, and the girl was invited to the palace. When the king saw the girl playing the harp, he was full of joy. At that moment he made the girl his private musician, giving her and her family lots of money.

根据短文内容，将下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺。

    How important is music? Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong.

    Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle and rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin's music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music.

    Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional (情绪) meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world.

    It's a special language. We can "talk" to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meaning that music expresses. Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives.

A. Music shows people's thoughts. B. So music education is necessary for all students. C. Music tells us who we are. D. In fact，music education is much more necessary than people usually think. E. Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way.

    Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please respect their customs, just as the saying goes：When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

    Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (付小费). It is usual to tip those who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. So do the taxi drivers.

    In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to wait in line there. It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favorite subject of a conversation with the British.

    In Spain (西班牙) , people have dinner very late and restaurants do not generally open until 9 p. m. It's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. In this way, you may not feel too hungry at the table.

    In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.

    A kind of body language is acceptable in one culture, and maybe it is impolite in another. So don't forget to be careful of your body language to express something in a conversation.
