People listen to music for different reason．Why is music so important to many people？For one thing，music can help people feel relaxing and sometimes it is even the medicine for a broken heart．For other，music joins people together because the power of its truth and beauty．
Many adults enjoyed classical music．A Beethoven symphony may bring them out a peaceful mind，give them a chance to keep away from the busy world．As for me，I appreciate both classical music or pop music．That is why the former can help me to reduce the pressure from study and life，while the later can make my life colorful and interesting．

2．On the Spanish island of La Gomera，kids are allowed to whistle（吹口哨） in class．In fact，whistling is required．The students are learning an ancient language called Silbo Gomero that uses whistles instead of spoken words．It's used only on La Gomera，which is one of the Canary Islands．
The people of La Gonmera have used Silbo Gomero for centuries．For a long time，it was the best way to communicate across the island's rocky hills and valleys．An islander's whistles can be heard from about 2 miles away．
But in the late 20th century，Silbo Gomero was in danger of dying out．Many of the speakers had moved from the island，and Spanish had become the main language．Cell phones had made it easier for islanders to communicate over long distances．A valuable piece of the island's culture was in danger of being lost forever．
In 1999，to keep the language alive，the local government made it a mandatory subject（必修学科） in schools．Now nearly all of the island's 22，000 inhabitants use Silbo Gomero as well as Spanish．
Though Silbo Gomero has been brought back into use，many other little-known languages around the world face a different situation．
There are more than 7，100 languages in the world．About half of them are in danger of disappearing within the next century．A language disappears when the last person to speak it dies．Many languages disappear because most children learn only the most important one．This is tr ue even in the U．S，where Native American languages are dying because most kids are taught only English．
Many dying languages have never been written down．Some researchers are travelling the globe to record people speaking these languages in the hope of saving them from going silent．
