—       , thanks. I'd like just a cup of tea.

    Have you ever heard the songs named Kiss My Baby and I'd Love to Wait? If your answer is yes, then you must think they're very beautiful. You may (期望) to know who sings them, Emil Wakin Chau wrote these songs for his son when he was born in 1990. Though the songs sound very . (悦耳的) and beautiful, Emil (更喜欢) his son to his songs. In fact, the two songs (反映) that the father's love is great and unselfish. You can (感觉到) the strong love that the  father shows to his son when you listen to them.

    Many musicians have (赞扬) Emil Wakin Chau for his songs because he writes the music with love. There is not any (悲伤) in all his songs. There is never anything awful to do with him. He always spends (大量) of time with his family in his (空闲的) time, And many people call him the real music (大师).

    We know music is very important in our daily life. Do you notice music playing at any of those places when you go somewhere? Today most stores, stations, restaurants and other places play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.

    Scientists believe that music influences the way people behave. They think that the sound of Western classical (古典的) music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without music, people spend even less.

    Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their busy hours. This makes people eat faster and leave quickly. Restaurants can make more money in this way.

    Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more active. It is true that people learn better when they are relaxed. And listening to music can help you relax.

    The next time you hear music somewhere, be careful. It might influence the way you do things.

I used to hate scary films. I didn't understand 1 some people wanted to scare 2 on purpose. But now I love them. Sometimes I watch them by myself; sometimes I watch them with my sister. 3, I will have a cushion(靠垫) nearby to 4 my face especially for bad parts, but I still enjoy watching them. As a 5, I have to watch something "happy" afterwards to take my mind off them,

    Watching scary films is 6 going on a roller coaster(过山车). Many people ride it for the 7 that comes from being scared without actually being in 8. As I am truly scared of the roller coaster, watching scary films is my way of 9 this. And it is interesting, especially 10 it is a film you haven't seen before. You can try and 11 what's going to happen.

    12 I saw a film called The Strangers by myself. In the film, a group of people with scary masks(面具) attacked(攻击) a couple's house. 13 some reason I had to keep stopping the video and doing 14 else, like checking e mails or reading a bit of my book. It took me five hours to finish seeing the film. It's hard to believe, isn't it?

    Scary films make me 15 but excited, I know I will continue to scare myself.
