For some people,music is no fun at all.About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic”.People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调).Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs.Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic.Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other.Life can be hard for amusics.Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others.It can be difficult for other people to identify(识别) with their condition.In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic.Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful.That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music.However, this can result in withdrawal and social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,” says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic.By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music.The difference is complex, and it is not connected with defective hearing.Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well.They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech.Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断).For years,Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I'm amusic,'” says Margaret.“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”

I work at a Care Center where most of the people are elderly.About a year and a half ago a 59-year-old lady came to us who had cancer. She had to have her right leg amputated (切除) and she didn't have a family to take care of her after the operation.
This lady was a quiet lady who mostly stayed alone. But in the afternoons, when she was feeling well, she would go to visit the other people in the home. She would visit a lady who was blind and read to her. She would go into the room of a young girl with severe cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and sing to her. In her quiet and gentle way, she would go about the Care Center doing goods.
She passed away last Wednesday and after her passing, stories are coming forward of her quiet acts of kindness in her own hour of sorrow.
We never know what impact we have upon others. She had every reason to be bitter, to be angry, or to be swallowed up in her own grief. But she wasn't. She didn't have a family and probably felt forgotten, but her small and quiet acts of service made an impact upon the entire Care Center.
Each of us feels better than before for having known her. We have pledged (发誓) to be more aware of the service that we can offer to others.
