W:Good morning,Brian.Are you OK? You look a little bit upset.

M:Yeah,I saw the strangest thing on the bus ride to work today.

W:What happened?

M:Well,as the bus was going along the highway,I was looking out of the window.And I saw three men in one of the yards next to the road robbing a house.

W:What? Are you sure?

M:Yes,very sure.It looked like they were taking a lot of things.

W:What did you do about it? Did you call the police?

M:No.What would I tell them? I couldn’t just say that someone was getting robbed somewhere near the highway.

W:Why not?

M:I’m not exactly sure where it was.And besides,those guys are probably pretty scary.I think I should just forget about the whole thing.

W:Well,let me ask you a question.If you were getting robbed,would you want someone to call the police to come and help you?

M:Yeah,you’re right.I would.I guess I’ll try calling and see if there is anything they can do.

　　I have played music for most of my life — about twenty years.My parents had a piano in our house that I would pretend to play as a two-year-old kid.I started taking lessons at the age of ten.I loved to play.I would practice for three hours a day as a kid.As I got older,my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing.So,in high school,I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased.I traveled to other cities to play.The concerts and the traveling were hard on me.I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be.When I left high school and went to college,I stopped playing as much.At some point,I decided not to play the piano anymore.But I never forgot the music.Now I just play for fun.I don’t practice every day,and I don’t have to become the best player anymore.But that’s okay with me.
