After studying for a long time, my brother has now graduated and we are very lucky to have a doctor in the family! My mom and dad, my sister and I are all interested in arts and languages.  -it's so difficult and takes such a long, time to study. So we're all very proud of him. As well as this, we have a doctor of our own to ask about any medical problems we have! How good is that?

Micky says he wants to work in hospitals to help people with different illnesses.  In my opinion, it's wonderful if you can have a job that you really enjoy and Micky has found one. I just hope he isn't so busy that the rest of us have to make an appointment(预约) to say hello.

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. 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. 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.

 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. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. 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.  Why does this work? He 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.

As we all know, taking notes in class is re ally important. In fact, we can be better prepared for exams with good note-taking. It is the key to remembering, reviewing and studying class material. It was found out to work quite well.

The Cornell method was invented in the 1 940s by Walter Pauk, a summary teacher at Cornell University. It helps his students take and organize their notes in class. What's more, it makes reviewing easier after class.

The Cornell method requires very little preparation. First, divide a page in a notebook into four parts. Then write down the title on the top of the page. Now we can take down all the notes in class into the Note-taking Column. Next, write down cues(提示)like key questions and words on the left. Finally,

summarize (概括)the main ideas of the lesson on the bottom.
