Dear Dr． Know，
My brother is going to be 11and I am 14． My brother and I always get into fights． Whenever he does something wrong like hitting me， messing my room or taking my toys， he never gets in trouble． But when I do this kind of things， I'm always groundedand it's not fair．
I tried talking to my parents about this and all they said was that they would try harder． However since they said this it has never happened． I don't know what to do． I sometimes just try to get on the computer and there he goes． He starts saying he wants to use the computer even though we have 3computers in the house． But all that my dad says is to get off only for 30minutes． I keep telling him that he can use the computer downstairs but he complains（ 抱怨） that he is too scared．
I've talked to my friends about this and they don't know what to say． I've tried talking to him and being nice to him but it didn't work． He just doesn't stop． He's making my life terrible! My dream is to have an understanding brother． What should I do for that？
Help me please!

In Britain，Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th（61） This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain．When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday．
（62） One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父） on each ship．Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box．（63）
One more thought is about the"Alms Box"placed in every church on Christmas Day．Worshippers （做礼拜的人）put gifts for the poor into it．These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas．（64） Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need． （65）
A．That is why that day became known as Boxing Day．
B．It was sealed up （密封） and kept on board until the ship came home safely．
C．Like Christmas Day，Boxing Day is a public holiday．
D．Besides，spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now．
E．The exact origin （起源） of the holiday is unclear．
"Without music，life would be a mistake，"famous German philosopher（哲学家） Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago．Music is a big part of our lives．But in recent years，some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）．
For example，Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired（解雇）over 1，000 teachers．Among them，10 percent of the teachers taught art or music，according to The Washington Times．In fact，this is not just a problem in the US．In other countries，such as China and the UK，music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science，math and history．That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill，and it isn't tested．Many students are busy with schoolwork，so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often．
However，learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways．
When playing music，you need different abilities to work together．It is not as simple as it looks，according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together，an early childhood music development program．For example，when playing the piano，people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains．They also use their fingers to make sounds．You need to deal with all these things at the same time．
Music has a special connection with science as well．You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin，and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano．

| A． |

（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？

We moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old．I missed her a lot．I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma．
Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced．I felt as if my world was falling apart．I lived with my mother for a time，next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World WarⅡ．
Grandma never had much in the way of money or material things．But it was the little things she gave me that let me feel warm，like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl，letting me sip the coffee from her cup or allowing me to sit on the table as I had meals．
Though she didn't have much，she did something for my brother and me．I will always remember she saved her coins in a glass jar．I thought my grandma could have used these coins herself，but she saved them to give us when we came to visit her．
I don't remember how much we collected on our visits，nor was the amount（数目）important．It was the idea that she remembered us，and cared about us when we were away from her．
