China covers large areas and has a great population． Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country． Recently， another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one： the way people shop at markets．
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals． It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage， two potatoes and 0.25kilograms of beef at a time．
However， one may be laughed at if he does this in the north． Instead， buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual． Also， you can buy a small amount （数量） of fruit， such as a single apple or pear， each time in the south． Shop owners even help you peel and cut them． But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service． And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes．
The difference could be due tothe different weather．
Food can be kept for a long time in the north， as it is usually cold and dry there． Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food， especially for the long winter． But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day， or else the food may go bad．

根据短文内容，判断正误．正确的填"T"，错误的填"F"．
To me， life would be boring without music． I realize that it is not true for everybody． Many people get along quite well without going to the concerts， and listening to the CDs． But music plays an important part in everyone's life， whether he realizes it or not． Try to imagine， for example， what films or TV plays would be like without music． Would the feeling， the moving story， and the greatest interests， be so exciting？ I'm not sure about it．
Now， we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning- the kind of music we hear in the concert hall． But if we look at some parts of music more closely， we discover them in our everyday life， too-in the sound of the sea， the singing of a bird in the woods and so on． So music surely has meaning for everyone． And， of course， it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music．
It is well side， "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty， expresses himself from his heart， feels the joy of doing things alone， learns to take care of others， develops his mind and makes his body strong．"
（1）Music is very important in my life．
（2）Some people don't realize the importance of music．
（3）Music can't be found everywhere in everyday life．
（4）Music has meaning， especially for musicians．
（5）The writer talked mainly about the development of music．
