Music is an important part in our life. We may feel boring without music. Today when you go to stores, stations, restaurants and other places, do you notice music playing at any of these places? The answer must be “Yes”. And you might even hear music in an office or on a farm.

I like many kinds of music. Classical music is great. Rock music is fast. Light music is relaxing. But I like folk music best. It sounds very beautiful. It can bring me into the dream land. It can make me relax and forget all the problems. It makes me learn better and helps me to be more active. It is true that I learn better when I am relaxed.

Music can also influence(影響) people’s behavior(行為). Classical music makes people feel rich(富裕). When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without music, people spend even less. Restaurants can make more money in this way.

　　Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too— in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.

　　It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”

　　1.What does the writer want to tell us?

　　A. Life with music everywhere.　　　B. Life cannot be enjoyed without music.

　　C. Importance of music in life.　　　 D. Development of music in history.

　　2.According to the writer, __________.

　　A. those who do not go to the concerts don't need music at all

　　B. a film without music will not seem so exciting or interesting

　　C. only through music can a child enter into a world of beauty

　　D. nobody but musicians can discover music in the rhythm of the sea

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music? Would the feeling, the plot（情節(jié)）, and the great interests, be so exciting or moving? I’m not sure about that.

(A) 

       To me,life without music would not be exciting. I know that this is not true for all. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert or listening to the tape. But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether (不論) he realizes it or not. Try to think,for example,what movies or TV plays would be like without music. I’m not sure about it.

       Now,we can enjoy music easily——the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we find them in our life too—the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music really has meanings for everyone in some ways.

       Once a great man said ,“Through music a child enters a world of beauty,expresses (表達(dá)) himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops (發(fā)展) his mind and makes his body strong."
