ASK THE WISE OWL
Q: I"m always late for school. I try not to be, but I can"t help it. Please advise me what to do. Tommy.
A: You are probably late for school because you don"t really like school. My advice to you is to try
and enjoy school more, then you won"t be late so often.
Q: I find it difficult to make friends. What do you think I should do? Sara.
A: I can"t advise you until I know more about you. Your problem may be that you are shy. On the
other hand, it may be the opposite. You may be too bold. Write and tell me more about yourself.
Q: I"m always at the bottom of the class. What do you advise me to do? Molly.
A: I advise you to concentrate on improving your grades in one subject to start with. If you can do this,
you should move a little way up from the bottom(末位). Next try to improve your grades in another
subject, and so on. If you concentrate on(倾全力于) one subject at a time, by the end of the year you
should be quite a long way up from the bottom in all your classes. The Wise Owl.

Let"s see a rabbit. When a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away at once. When it runs, its tail
moves up and down. When others see this, they runs quickly, too. Many other animals use this kind of
language. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to its home. It can"t tell the other bees where the
food is by speaking to them, but it can dance. This may tell the other bees where the food is .
Some animals say things by making sounds like man does. For example, a dog barks when a stranger
comes close. Some birds can make several different sounds, each sound has its own meaning. In a word,
every animal has its own language.

supermarkets, department stores… Background music is supposed to influence (影响) your attitudes
(态度) and mood (心情).
Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It"s supposed to make you feel
better about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy and
work better. It is said (据说) that in a factory, music can increase the production by 4.5 percent.
Workers do not easily get tired if they listen to music all day. A worker in San Francisco said:" If the
music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain about it. "Background music was
started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and
calm . Now, of course, the music is piped in (以电讯设备传送) by a machine and different kinds of
music are played at different time in a day. For example, the music they play are faster at 10 than 8,
because workers are usually slower then.
It"s also very interesting that fast music is played in restaurants where hamburger is sold. Before
playing fast music, customers spent 22 minutes eating hamburgers. When they started playing fast music,
they found that a customer spent only 17 minutes eating! So they have more people coming in and out to
buy hamburgers. It"s good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles
(洛杉矶), for example, 30 different companies are selling background music services.
The Xerox Corporation (静电复印公司) in Rochester, N.Y.(纽约州的罗切斯特市), spends
more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prison warders (狱警) use it. Farmers also use it to
keep their cattle calm. It"s said that background music even influence plants.

You, of course, know that you will never add vcry rapidly to your vocabulary by merely coming across
words, or by reading or by talking. You must have a plan.
Here is one way to get ahead with words in everyday life. It"s the simplest thing in the world.
Buy a small pocket notebook. When you read a newspaper, a magazine, or a book, or listen to TV or
radio, and come upon a strange word, enter it in your notebook. Then look it up in the dictionary. If you
find that it"s a word too difficult to understand or a highly technical mterm, just pass it by. But if it sounds
like a word that will be helpful to you. take possession of it, make it your own personal possession. Say
it aloud many times. Study its exact meaning, and note its root. Be sure, also, to copy from the dictionary
the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given. Then write your own sentence in line with the
example in the dictionary.
the list in your notebook will grow gradually, as will your command of English.
