Module 3　Music

　　音乐可以开启封闭的心灵，纾解忧郁苦闷的心情，甚至还可以起到治疗某些程度的心灵创伤。

　　When you need comfort，what or who do you go to？For some people，it's a good friend or a familiar place.For me the most comforting thing in the world is music.

　　You may be thinking you can't believe in music.This is true but you can believe in the feelings and emotions music gives you.

　　Every weekday is the same for me.I wake up at 6：00；I work from when I get there to 3：15 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 4：15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.The only thing that keeps me wise all day is music in any form.On days when either the radio got wet from the hose or got dropped or stolen，I have my iPod with me.In between my destinations in my truck I plug my iPod into the tape cassette adapter and play it.When I'm at school，none of my teachers care if we listen to music as long as we don't let it become a distraction，so I have my iPod there，too.

　　Slow songs usually tend to calm people down.When people listen to sad songs they are usually depressed.Sometimes when sports teams like hockey，football teams are getting ready for a game they will play metal or rock music to get them pumped for the game.

Some people say that loud or angry music has a horrible influence on teenagers today.Yes，it can be a bad influence but only if you let it influence you negatively.Generally I like to keep an open mind about all types of music.The reason for this is that music is the artists' way of communicating their thoughts or feelings to anyone who will listen and I think they are worth the respect I can give by listening to
