Neighbors can share comments with one another about a recently painted mural, which can challenge their prejudices and open their eyes to the world.Businesses can also be promoted by community art. In Fort Smith, a town in the U.S. slate of Arkansas, artists from around the globe came together to paint murals. One of the goals of the project was to expand the town's cultural offerings in order to attract more visitors. Not only locals but also tourists were drawn to see the murals. The money they spent while visiting the town benefited local businesses.Generous financial support is provided for community art projects in many cities and towns. In the UK, the Arts Council England has invested nearly half a million dollars in community art. Some of it, for example, has paid for a new exhibition space created inside an old mill in the town of Bricrfield.

She had a child with her who was about three or four years old. The bus was full, bumpy (颠簸的),and it soon got noisy, as her kid began crying一he was upset that he couldn't sit next to his mother. She looked embarrassed.Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The mum smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that raised the entire energy of that bus ride:"I've been there."Simple, undramatic, and honest.

Il was shameful fbr me at the time-I lived in fear of being caught in a friend's cast-off item.Even when it was warmer, I refused to take off a layer in the classroom for this reason. Now I don't meet people who are in this exact situation, but I do notice when someone is struggling with financial shame or feels less than other people they meet. And I'm quick to say some version of, 'Tve been there."Can the essence of (hese three words help you make a small difference right now? Il can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice, or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortablebecause we're all in this together.(1) What influence did the older woman's words have on the people around?A.

Students work al home wilh parents, who serve as learning coaches.

But a significant subgroup caught this instead: "I'm gonna lake my horse to the hotel room." 1 We've been misunderstanding song lyrics for decades, Elton John's "hold me closer, Tony Danza"-er, "tiny dancer"- included. These modern musical mishearings even have their own name: mondcgrccns.2 When noise hits our eardrums, tiny hairs convert it into an electric signal, which （ravels through the auditory nerve to the （emporal lobe （聂贞叶）. 3 If the sounds are clear and the terms familiar, we then "hear" a mostly accurate translation of what someone is saying. But music can drown out lyrics, and singers can pronounce words with extra ability. The sounds in songs are often muddy and unclear. In this case, our brains struggle to find what makes sense.In （hat panic, our head reacts by offering up similar-sounding （but far more familiar） phrases, says Thomas Ethofer, a professor of psychotherapy in Germany. For example, if the mind can't firstly comprehend taking a horse to an old town road, it offers up an alternative to quickly solve the problem. 4In fact, according to Ethofer, previous knowledge of the mondegrecn will make you m
