21、There’s that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. Therefore, as you become more kind and caring, it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music.
I recently went to a jam session (即兴演奏)with some other musicians in town, many of whom I was meeting for the first time. When I used to jam with other musicians, I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time, though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
Because of this, our music was better than ever before, and I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, there was no self. There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts.
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common: to see past their own selves, and to listen to or connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I’ve realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more kind and caring person.
So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me about how to be a more caring person. As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can now not only bring joy to those in my daily life, but also to those who listen, through my music.

24、It used to be that a "green classroom" referred to the color of paint on the wall. But today's green classrooms are greener than that! New "green" classrooms help schools save money and provide clean environments where students learn better.
Many classrooms are going green by adding solar panels(太阳能电池板)to their roofs. The solar panels collect energy from the sun and use it to power lights and computers. The panels help make green classrooms grid-neutral, which means the panels create at least as much electricity as the classrooms use. In addition, new lighting and air systems can be programmed to lower energy costs and water use.
Many new "green" classrooms are built using recycled materials. Some even use pieces of material from blue jeans to insulate(使隔热)walls and roofs. The old-jean insulation cuts heat and air conditioning bills.
Green schools feature many other new ideas. Some classrooms are painted using special odor-free paints that help improve indoor air. Some use no glues that add chemical smells to the air. Others use triple-pane windows(三层玻璃)and skylights to help keep classrooms warm in cold weather and let in lots of natural daylight.
Experts say the benefits of building greener classrooms go beyond cost savings. Studies show that a healthful environment with good air quality can cut colds and flu by more than 50 percent. That means fewer sick days for students and teachers. Studies have shown that natural light and other green features improve student learning and test scores too.
