The English Fashion recently asked people about their wonderful ideas and plans about things they could do. The magazine asked people the following question: "If you had all the money you wanted, what would you like to do?" About 500 people answered the survey question.
Almost half (49%) of the people in the survey said they would buy material things such as a bigger house or a better car. One fifth (20%) of the people said they would travel to the interesting or famous places. 17% answered that they would give money to someone else. They would donate money to a charity or to help poor people. More than half of the rest of the people(about 10%) said they would give money to help medical research. All the other people in the English Fashion survey said they would save money in the bank. They said they didn't know what they would like to do right now, but perhaps in a few years they would find a good use for the money.
"Lots of people think that if they buy bigger and better things, they will feel happier," said Dr. Mary Wilson, a sociologist at City University. "However," she said, “ this feeling will not last long. After a while, they won't be satisfied with them any longer. " Dr. Wilson thinks the happiest people are those who make a change in people's lives that will last into the future. She thinks those people who give money to someone else or to medical research are thinking beyond themselves and their own needs at the moment. If they had all the money they wanted, they would make a difference in the world.What is the English Fashion?

Everybody likes music. But do you know that music is different from songs? Some express feelings with lyrics (歌词), but music with songs with tones (音调). Unlike songs, music tones have no specific (具体的) meanings.
Different people get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others like pop music. Most young people like pop music.
Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s.
The best-known early kind of pop music was “rock and roll”. Pop music has taken the place of local music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for “jazz” music to become much smaller than that in the 1950s and earlier. And it now becomes the most popular one. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers like Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. Today people still have a great interest in pop music. Its concerts and festivals are held all over the world.
