   Our class held a discussion about if music should be played during the break or not. The 

opinions are divided. Most of students think that music should be played. As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. However, after hard study music can bring us relaxation, which reduce the tiredness. This can help us make full preparations for the next class. Listen to 

music also makes us feel happy. On the other hand, some students don’t think it. In their 

opinion, they can’t get the expecting effect from playing music, for the class break time is too 

short. What is needed most during the class break is peace instead noise produced by music. In my opinion, it is good to play some soft and peace music during the class break. In this way students can enjoy music as good as have a good rest.

To realize great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn't enough, you must believe in your dreams and you must act. Without action, even the most beautiful dreams will go up into the air when left undone in the foggy state of the mind.
   Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go for it alone. Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown. As you dance your dreams into reality, those who can't hear the music may think you a fool. Pay no attention to those who would kill your dreams; small minds always do that.        1    

   Afraid you haven't got what it takes? Then get it!     2     There was one who had two dogs that raced every weekend. He took bets and always won. One week he'd bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he'd bet on the white dog, and the folks who saw the black dog win the week before would bet on the black dog, but this time the white dog would win. Why? One week he'd feed the dog he wanted to win a grand diet, and just give the other dog enough to survive. The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race. Your mind is the same way; it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage, knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams, or keep you from them.      3      The choice is yours and you make it every day.
    Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right circumstances to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams? My dear, you're patient, aren't you? You could be waiting forever, you know. Time is an illusion. Circumstances are what you make them.     4      It doesn't burst in and shout its arrival.

____________________________________________________________________________

Many years ago, a French naturalist, the Count de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history．The books were a great success even though some critics（批評家） did not like them．Some critics said, "Count Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist．"

Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World．It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant．

This troubled Thomas Jefferson．He too was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician．He had seen the natural wonders of Europe．To him, they were no more important than those of the New World．

In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia．While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Count de Buffon．At that moment, Jefferson created a new word—belittle．He said, "The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic．"

Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word．He put it in this English language dictionary in1806, "Belittle— to make small, unimportant．"

Americans had already accepted Jefferson's word and started to use it．In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported．"He is an honorable man, " the paper wrote, "so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please．"

In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word．He said, "Belittle has no chance of becoming English．And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better．"

This expert failed to kill the word．Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken．
