十、阅读填表
阅读表格,完成表格中所缺的信息。
How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often thought only as entertainment (娱乐), but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects (反映) the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music shows a lifestyle, rock music shows a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is clearly American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music gives a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science tells us how the sun rises and sets. Music looks for more inside meanings. We need every possible way to discover and reply to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we show our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music tells. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people usually think.
Title | The ____76____ of Music Education |
Opinions | ◆ Shortsighted opinion: Music is only a way of entertainment, not the top choice for education. ◆ Longsighted opinion: Music education is important and necessary, ____77____ all students should learn music. |
____78____ for learning music | A way to tell who we are Music not only reflects the social environment it came from but also expresses people’s thinking and values. |
A way to know the world We can’t discover and reply to our world only in ____79____ way. Music explores more inside meanings of nature. | |
A way to have a better ____80____ about each other ◆ We use music to show and share our feelings, discoveries, ideas, imagination and hopes with others. ◆ Music tells us what it means to be human. |
