"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．

We moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old．I missed her a lot．I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma．
Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced．I felt as if my world was falling apart．I lived with my mother for a time，next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World WarⅡ．
Grandma never had much in the way of money or material things．But it was the little things she gave me that let me feel warm，like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl，letting me sip the coffee from her cup or allowing me to sit on the table as I had meals．
Though she didn't have much，she did something for my brother and me．I will always remember she saved her coins in a glass jar．I thought my grandma could have used these coins herself，but she saved them to give us when we came to visit her．
I don't remember how much we collected on our visits，nor was the amount（数目）important．It was the idea that she remembered us，and cared about us when we were away from her．

There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three﹣second memory．But a 15﹣year﹣old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment（实验） to tell us that it is not true．He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think．
"I don't believe that they had a three﹣second memory because animals need their memory，so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is，"said Roy Stokes，a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School．
He did the experiment in small tank（鱼缸） of goldfish．"I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that．Every day I'd put it in and spread food around it．"He said．
"At first they were a bit scared of it，but by the end of the three weeks，they were actually almost coming before I put the food in．"
After leaving the fish alone for a week，Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again．
"They remembered perfectly well，"he said．
"They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left．"
The goldfish showed that not only could they store information，they also had the ability to get it back as a later date．
Culum Brown，a research fellow at Sydney's Macquarie University，has studied fish behavior for more than ten years．
He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal．
"The thing that I really liked about Rory's experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market．I thought it was really good．"He said．
36．Rory began his research by ．
| A． |
discussing with his classmates |
| B． |
making friends with goldfish |
| C． |
asking his teacher for advice |

37．Rory put a red Logo in the tank to ．
| A． |
connect food with the color |
| B． |
make the tank nicer to look at |
| C． |
feed the fish at the same place |
| D． |
give the fish something to play with |
38．What's the right order of Rory's experiment？
|
a．find a tank of goldfish b．feed the fish next to the Logo c．leave the goldfish alone for a week |
d．take out the Logo e．put a red Logo into the tank f．put the Logo back into the tank |

A long time ago，there lived a very old man．He was so old that he could not see or hear very well．He also could not walk very well，or eat very well for his hand shook．The old man's son and daughter﹣in﹣law thought he might make trouble at table．So，they had him eat his meals in the corner of the kitchen without a table．
