一、阅读理解

1．阅读理解

"Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some

American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers.

Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times.

In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music

classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly

because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks,

according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development

program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）

them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good

at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in

playing the piano. （1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.

AAccording to a new survey, students’　safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of

cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this

lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and

Keep calm. lf you can not cry for help or run away. Give the robber your money. Try to

remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.★If you are in a traffic accident

If a car hits you. You should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents

before you let the rider go. This is because you don't know how seriously you are hurt★If it is raining hard and there is lighting

Don't stay in high places and stay away from trees.★When there is a fire

Get away as fast as yon can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.★If someone is drowning
