When students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of
25、 the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先） . This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is very important for all students. Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expressi
26、on of the beings who create it, it shows their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American
27、because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity（身份，特性） 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 can express the emotive（情感的） m
28、eaning of the same thing. 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
29、each other. They are the language through which we express our fears, our hungers, our discoveries, 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 an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we
30、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 value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize. 【

34、 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 A To err is human. To blame（责备） the other guy is even more human. Common sense is not all that common. Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse These three popular misquotes（戏谑的引语） are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human natu
35、re. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people dont want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine（神圣的） .” This sayin
36、g mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity（成熟） . Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common s
37、ense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan.

38、n for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.” And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creati
39、ng a work of art One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that its okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary（直接推论） to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isnt honest, then where is the place of the truth 【小题 1
