So,what makes being in a band so cool?Is it because you get to go on stage and play to millions of adoring fans? Well, yes, but it'll be a few years before your dodgy rendition of ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ starts to resemble a Mozart symphony.
(22)__ talented you've been in music it's still not easy to organize a band, but here's a quick guide to get you started:

Since then， I have been considering why kids today do not have the same deep appreciation for nature that I do.One of the significant factors maybe that the former rural civilization has been replaced by the urban civilization.In the past， the poor played the(39) role in the nature， so they cleared the wasteland.planted crops and reproduced civilization.With the massive invasion of industrialization and urbanization， people were forced to move away from nature， The struggle between tradition and modernity， the confrontation between humans and nature has led people to believe that they are the masters of the universe.Is this really the case?It is time to think about who(40) us to destroy nature.

one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Among all the different types of journey that people undertake there are also those of a spiritual nature. Some of the trips we do in our lives are purely for pleasure， some are meant to make us stronger sometimes we travel to explore and learn， and in all of these undertakings we grow and become wiser.
There is a lot we can learn from the land that surrounds us and the best way to acquire that knowledge is by traveling and experiencing.(This ancient aboriginal initiation ritual involves exactly this：along spiritual hike across the indigenous land.) Although widely known as “Walkabout， "in later years the ritual has been referred to as“temporary mobility， ”because the former is often used as a derogatory term in Australian culture.
A young man on Walkabout
Historically speaking， the walkabout is a rite of passage in which young(adolescent) Aboriginal Australians undertake a journey that will help “transform” them into adults. The journey is usually made between the ages of 10 and 16._During this journey which can last for up to six months， the individual is required to live and survive all alone in the wilderness.
This is not an easy thing to do， especially not for teenagers. That is why only those who have proven themselves mentally and physically ready are allowed to proceed with the walkabout. Only the elders of the group decide whether it is time or not for the child to do it.
The children are not completely unprepared for the journey. During the years before the walkabout， the elders instruct them and give them advice about the ceremony and adult life in general； they have been passed the "secrets" of the tribe， the knowledge about their world.
