1.Good morning. The program today is about music. The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”. The Muses are the goddesses of the arts. Music is only one of the arts. It is like the spoken language, but is uses sounds. Today's program brings together music from different corners of the world. Who invented music? Who sang the first song? No one knows exactly the answers to these questions. But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone's life. Babies and young children love to hear people singing to them. When they are a little older, they like to sing the songs they have heard. When children go to school, their world of music grows. In the middle grades students take music lessons. When they reach high school, they become interested in listening to pop music.
The records we have chosen for you today are form American country music, Indian music, pop music and so on. Music has meaning for everyone. It can make people happy or it can make them sad.

2.Multiple studies link music study to academic achievement. But what is it about serious music training that seems to be associated with huge success in other fields? I put the question to outstanding professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past lives as musicians.
The phenomenon extends beyond the math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that joins together separate ideas. The power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously.
For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a \language\separate or conflicting ideas. When he ran the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100countries, often taking in local performers, which helped him understand \
It is in that context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both are at heart modes of expression. Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton Associaes, says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy; As he says, both \to pattern cognition, and some people extend these patterns across different senses.\
For Roger McNamee whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known or its early investment in Facebook, \expert on Facebook by using it to promote his hand, Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live-streaming its concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share %unite top performers in music and other fields.
\people,\he says. It's a skill learned by \that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more time,\something over and over again, or double-checking or triple-checking,\
\it does get better. You see the results.\
That's an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pursuit is in decline in this country.

Plogging
Plogging is a new way to jog while cleaning up the planet. It's a craze that began in Sweden in 2016 and the motivation behind it includes reducing the load of plastic litter in our environment, as well as keeping fit while running.①_______If you love outdoor exercise, enjoy exercising with others, and care about removing litter from our environment, then this might just be the sport for you.
Make good preparations before plogging. Dress suitably for the environment in which you are running. This will vary depending on the weather and surroundings, but the basics are comfortable running clothes and closed-toe running shoes. Suitable gloves are a wise and useful addition, as picking up litter can be dangerous in some situations. ②_______This might be a standard trash bag, easy to carry and capable of containing litter that might have sharp edges.
Organize your plogging group. If you're lucky enough to have ploggers already in your area, seek them out. Join up and make new friends with a shared interest. Check out such meeting groups at Meetup or ask at a local sports store to find out what opportunities exist where you live. If you don't have a group, create one. Use social media, notices on bulletin boards, or place signs in the windows of sports stores to find fellow ploggers.③_______.Collect safely. One key suggestion for staying safe while collecting litter is to avoid picking up broken glass or sharp items. If you must collect such an item, only do so when you can find a very safe way to collect it without harming yourself. If in doubt, leave it and get better equipment to remove it.④_______If an item of litter presents a potential safety risk, try to mark the item clearly to encourage people to avoid it.
⑤_______It is a way of combining individual achievement via exercise with community and environmental care. You're part of the growing movement of people who are giving back to the world at the same time as honoring self care, a sustainable and healthy way to balance your life. This could be a fantastic opportunity to show people that individual action makes a big difference. A. Taking some photos during the process is also necessary. B. You can also ask for assistance from the local authorities.
C. Usually performed as part of a group run, it's also a social exercise. D. You also need to find a suitable carry bag for collecting the litter in. E. Plogging is a great way to feel motivated as it has more than one benefit. F. If you find a natural area with litter problem, this might be a suitable place. G. With some advertising effort, you are likely to connect with a few interested people.
