5．（10分）"Without music，life would be a mistake，"famous German philosopher（哲学家） Friendrich
Nietzsche said over a century ago．Music is a big part of our lives．But in recent years，some US schools have
cut music classes to control budgets（预算）．
For example，Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired（解雇）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 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 ．
A．students in the US weren't interested in music
B．they were too difficult to learn
C．there weren't enough music teachers in the US
D．the schools wanted to control budgets

A．Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music．
B．Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds．
C．Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music．
D．Playing the piano needs people to see music notes．
