When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment,but certainly not an education priority (优先).This view is shortsighted.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it,it reflects their thinking and values,as well as the social environment it came from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other.They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears,our curiosities,our hungers,our discoveries,and our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music,we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be  human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering,celebration,the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

32.According to Paragraph 1,students_________.

A.disagree with their parents on education   B.regard music as a way of entertainment

34.In Paragraph 2,the author uses jazz as an example to ___________.

A.show music reflects a society           B.compare it with rock music

C.introduce American musical traditions   D.prove music influences people's lifestyles

35.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Music is an effective communication tool. B.Music education makes students more imaginative.

C.Music education deserves more attention. D.Music should be of top education priority.

Every single decision we make shapes our current reality.  36  So if you’re unsatisfied with your life right now, making the effort to change your decisions will be the key to creating the life you want to have in the future.

Realize the power of decision making.

  37   When you decide to pick up a cigarette,that decision might result in you picking up another later on.But if you decide not to smoke that first cigarette and make a decision to focus your attention somewhere else, your desire will eventually weaken and you will become smoke—free.

  38  

When you make a decision,act on it.Commit to making a real decision.What ’ s a real decision It ’ s when you decide on something,and that decision is carried out through action.It’s pointless to make a decision in your head,but not doing anything about it.That’s the same as not making a decision at all.

Tell others about your decisions.

Sometimes telling other people what we ’ re going to do will make us follow through.I’ve been trying to become an early riser but waking up early without falling back asleep felt impossible.So I made the decision to tell people that I would wake up at 6A.m.and stay up.   39  

Have fun making decisions.

  40  I know decision-making might not be a fun thing,but when you do it often,you’ll learn a lot about yourself on the way,and you’ll become more confident,and making decisions will just become so easier that you won’t even think about it.

A.Carry your decision out.

B.Enjoy the process.

C.Any decision you make causes a chain of events.

D.Examine the decisions you now have.

E.Before making a decision,you have to understand what a decision does.

F.Within two days,I was able to accomplish doing this.

G.But we often go through life unaware what actions we are taking.
