On top of a few clothes, a small first-aid kit and notebooks, he is carrying a recorder, a video camera, a small computer and a satellite phonea telephone that connects to a satellite and can be used in many places where cell-phones dont work.The journey is long 21,000 miles!

If children realize the importance of art and creativity from a young age, they can grow up to be more confident, more creative, and definitely more mature. Schools are the breeding（孕育）grounds for future painters and movie makers, and these arts should be encouraged wholesomely in such an environment.Sadly, many parents do not understand why art is important for children, and subconsciously（潜意识地）force them to follow career paths that are common and conformist（墨守成规的）in nature. This is fair enough in its own way, because the world does need some standard blue collar and white collar jobs to continue its existence; but this is a choice that children should be allowed to make for themselves. The doors to creativity and expression must not be shut in their faces, even if it comes at a cost of making more money.To put it more scientifically, here are some benefits of kids art activities that give a suitable answer to the question “Why is art important in schools?”1.Exposure to art, music and drawings at an early age improves the amount of brain activity in children.2.It increases the span of knowledge in the minds of children, thus making them sharper and more educated.3.It builds up the levels of self-confidence, self-esteem（自尊）, motivation, cooperation and communication in children.4.It helps children understand other peoples opinions and points of view as well.5.It helps them sharpen their problem-solving skills, decision-making and gives them the possibility of really exploring their imaginations.60.According to the passage, it is generally accepted that _. A.art plays a very important role in education of children B.children are expected to be blue-collar or white-collar workers C.schools should encourage children to learn arts and crafts D.children should be allowed to make choices for themselves61.The writer holds the view that _. A.schools should only bring up future painters and movie makers B.children grow up to be more confident and more creative in schools C.children should be encouraged to learn art to develop their creativity D.art activities can help children solve all the problems they meet with62.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Arts and crafts lessons are very popular in schools. B.Art is not paid enough attention to in schools now. C.Art activities improve the amount of brain activity. D.Art education builds up the levels of self-confidence.63.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Importance of Art in Schools. B.Relation between Art and Creativity.
