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.
B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject
D. prefer the arts to science
B. show music reflects a society
C. introduce American musical traditions
D. prove music influences people"s lifestyles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people"s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative. "
nose, a totem design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your
opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin. On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight,
flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So
when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file
off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful. It
is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to
become an adult.
In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung". They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that
you are either born with a long or short neck and that there"s nothing whatever you can do about it. But
you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck,
tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Padaung woman will wear her
neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
So now I"m sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
B. Beautiful body decoration.
C. Attractive decoration.
D. Body decoration.
B. luggage
C. shopping cart
D. basket
B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C. a teenager"s teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
B. Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
B. Inner beauty
C. Different Ideas about Beautiful
D. Body Decoration
| A If the person has stopped breathing, you must try to start his/her breathing at once. The best thing is to use the mouth-to-mouth way. Lay the person down with his/her head lower than the rest of his/her body and breathe into his/her mouth. If the person has something stuck in his/her throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him/her on the back. |

| Most shops in Britain open at 9:00am, and close at 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening. Small shops usually close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping. Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or Thursday and it is a different day in different towns. Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays. Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying, they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives. When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队). |

| It"s no secret that the world has become a very fastpaced place. Free time has been replaced by cyber (网络的) time to the point where my family feels the need to comment on my presence at the dinner table. With all these options and distractions (使人分心的事) it can be hard to spend quality time with the people you love. My Dad and I have always worked around this. Over years we"ve learned how to watch in silence while enjoying each other"s company and by now we know what to comment on during the commercials. Once we were watching one of our favourite shows. At the commercial he turned to me and asked if I liked going to school. I thought about the question for a few moments before admitting that I did. "Do you look forward to going？" This question seemed easier to answer, but I thought it over. "Not all the time. Sometimes, there are classes that I dread. But then there are people I want to see or things I want to do, so I guess it evens out." Dad nodded. "You see these characters on the show? They like going to work. They look forward to it. They are so idealistic that they go to work every day, believing they can change the world. That"s why we like to watch them." I thought about what he was saying. "Do you look forward to going to work?" I asked. Dad paused. "I honestly don"t think about it. It"s not something I anticipate or dread. It"s just something that I do. I always looked forward to going to school, though. I wanted to learn. Now that I think about it, when I first started working I did look forward to it. That"s what"s important. Do something that you enjoy doing. Do something that you will look forward to. Otherwise, what"s the point?" Now I have learned that sometimes it"s not the length of the talk that"s important but what"s said during the talk. It is still possible to have quality time during a commercial break. |
