World Music Day is celebrated on June 21st every year. It is a day to enjoy and appreciate music from all around the globe. This day is also known as Fete de la Musique,which originated in France. World Music Day is a day for everyone to come together and enjoy the gift of music.
The History of World Music Day
World Music Day originated in France in 1982. Since then, it has become an annual celebration for the whole world’s music. The idea for the day came from French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang. On the first World Music Day, people of all ages and backgrounds came together and enjoyed music. The first World Music Day was a success, and it has been celebrated annually ever since.
How Is World Music Day Celebrated
World Music Day is celebrated in many different ways. There are often free concerts and events held on this day. People go to a concert where people are playing music from around the world (a World Music Day concert is perfect for this!) People like listening to different types of music because it can open their mind up to new things. Maybe there is an event nearby where people are singing or playing music from their country. You can talk about what you heard or lean something new! Besides listening to music from around the world, people can also watch a movie with music from different cultures and learn about different music styles from around the world. It is a good opportunity to share music with friends and family and learn to play music from different cultures in your home.
Why Do We Love World Music Day
1. It’s a great opportunity to learn about different cultures and music styles. On World Music Day, we can explore music from all over the world. This is a great way to broaden our musical horizons and learn about music from different parts of the world that we might not usually hear about.
2. It’s a day for creativity and expression. On World Music Day, we can let our creative sides come out and express ourselves through our favorite music. We can write about our favorite songs or make art inspired by the music we've been listening to.
3. It’s a day for celebration. On World Music Day, we should celebrate all the great things in life. It additionally gives the opportunity to talk about world peace, spirituality, love and so on.

Game Ideas for Focus & Concentration (注意力) for Teenagers
Besides their studies, teenagers often take part in sports, after-school activities and social events. With so much to stay on top of, it’s easy for them to become stressed out and disorganized. They need help to improve focus and concentration through games. Here are some games that improve concentration, attention and memory.
Brainteasers
Brainteasers give the teenage mind a workout. Brainteasers challenge players with simple-looking tasks, such as matching and recalling patterns. However, they test and improve focus by requiring the player to use speed and logic (逻辑). They also improve concentration, attention, reaction and other cognitive (认知的) skills when played often. Challenge teenagers to complete one or two brainteasers every night from an activity book or website. Riddles and puzzles also exercise cognitive abilities related to focus.
Physical Challenges
Physical exercise is important for healthy teenage development in several ways. Not only does exercise keep the body fit and in shape, but it also helps strengthen the mind by supplying more oxygen (O2) to the brain, helping it process and recall information and awakening brain cells (细胞). Get teenagers outside so that they can develop social skills. Challenge teenagers to relay races, jump rope or hula-hooping competitions, volleyball or other games that encourage physical activity.
Board Games
Board games such as chess and checkers aren’t the only games that improve concentration, focus and problem-solving skills. Even silly games for a group of players can improve cognitive abilities such as memory, concentration and focus. Laughter and lighthearted play during family game night stimulate (促进) areas of the brain related to creativity and learning while encouraging socialization that improves brain health.

Sketchnotes, also known as visual（可视的）notes, are visual records of information or an experience using drawings and written text. Sketchnoting creates something new and powerful by using both drawings and words. They work at the same time to help achieve understanding.
There are two types of sketchnotes. One is lecture-based.
Lecture-based sketchnotes are taken when speakers actively share new ideas or information with listeners, such as in school classes or at work meetings. The other type is experience-based. Such sketchnotes are taken when you experience or learn something personally, like traveling or trying a new restaurant. Lecture-based sketchnotes need to be taken live in the moment, while experience-based sketchnotes need to be taken later or after the fact.
Sketchnoting is for anyone who can write. The drawings are all about being recognizable. You don’t have to be an artist to sketchnote. All you have to do is to master a few basics like the dot（点）, the line, and shapes, and then put them together to make simple pictures. Our brains remember the picture and what’s happening in it, not the beauty of the art. So no worries!
And what tools do you need to sketchnote All you need is paper and a pen! You can use whatever paper you want. Remember, we’re not showing off our art skills, so the tools don’t have to be perfect. If you’re just starting out, I suggest you start small: post-its or index cards are perfect! As for pens, quick-drying pens are good choices because the ink（墨水）looks darker than most ball-points and doesn’t take as long as a brush pen to dry.
Sketchnoting offers lots of benefits. It can help you center on a task while listening, and help those who have trouble spelling take notes because they can draw! Also, many studies have shown that pairing related pictures with text helps you remember and recall better. Besides, it activates different areas of our brains for better learning. Moreover, it allows self-described “non-artists” to be creative. By the way, it’s easy to read and fun to look at.
So just get started with sketchnoting! If you’d like to jump in with learning, you can find many more useful tips online. You’ll be sketchnoting in no time!

四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分。34-36题, 每题2分; 37题4分）
Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was.
These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph Why read a novel when we can see a film Why read I a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV
Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.
