Last week I drove up to the family farm, half-an-hour drive from Shepparton.

Wayde showed me around the farm where he began his day at about 6:30 a.m. He said that the cows couldn't listen to loud music while he was milking.

    Cows are very nervous animals, and many farmers have played slow music to keep their cows calm. It's reported that playing some music to cows leads to more milk production. So a lot of farmers keep a radio on in the barn (畜舍) to keep them happy.

   Too many people think cows like country music. In fact, cows don't enjoy such things as country music. They prefer classical music to rock'n'roll(摇滚). Thanks to some researchers in Britain, farmers now know how many beats per minute cows prefer. The best speed of the music seems to be under 100 beats per minute. Cows listening to music like Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony (《田园交响曲》) produced about 3.5% more milk a day than those listening to faster music. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确，对的写A, 错的写B

Many students feel it difficult to remember new words when they begin to study English. Now I will give you some advice.

1. Do not waste time in learning a list of English words. It is. the hardest way to remember English words. How do you learn to speak Chinese? You did it by listening carefully to the people talking to each other. You can find radio programs, TV programs and records, and listen to them carefully. The best way to learn all new words is through ear. As you listen to more and more dialogues, you will learn how English is pronounced in phrases and sentences. Of course, it is at enough to learn new words; you must learn how words are put together, and why some words in English are emphasized.

2. Some people have found that they can learn the names of everyday objects, such as box, cup, desk and so on, in the following way. They write the names of subjects, they say the words. Try this and see if this way works for you. If it does not, then go on to practice your dialogues.
