Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schoolshave 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, 10percent 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 andhistory. Thats partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isnt 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 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.12 题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下全文的主题句；5 题将文中画线句子译成汉语。1.

Researchers in Hungary have found another reason to let dogs keep on sleeping. It seems that the animals are learning while they sleep.The scientists placed wires on the dogs heads to measure electrical activity in the brain. The brain activity, called sleepspindles ( 睡眠纺锤波), takes place in human beings, and hasbeen connected with learning. The Hungarian scientists hope to understand how the dogs ability to learn and remember changes as they get older. The study may help researchers understand how the changes of human brains take place as we age.Ivaylo Iotchey, one of the researchers, says that this is the first time dogs sleep spindles have been measured( 测量), andrelated to the dogs learning new things. “From studies, we know that in the dog, sleep spindles have only been described, but they were never related to function. This is the first time we were able to show that we connect sleep spindles with learning in the dog.Researchers hope the study will not only help understanding of learning ability and memory changes in dogs, but also the aging process in humans. They found that the aging dogs suffer from the same problems as humans who are aging. Among very old dogs, up to two thirds of them show signs ofdementia(老年痴呆), and this dementia is really very similar tothat of humans, so we could use dogs as a natural model of human aging.The team collects problems from dogs brains and shares the results with researchers around the world.12 题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下第三段的主题句；5 题将文中画线句子译成汉语。1. “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie” means not to an old problem.2.

Like many important foods, it was introduced to England from North America at the time of Queen Elizabeth. Nowadays it is such an important part of the Englishmans food that it is difficult to imagine how he used to manage without it. Potatoes can be cooked in many different ways. The four main methods used in England are boiling, baking, roasting and frying.When one boils a potato one cuts it up and cooks it in a pan with boiling water and a little salt. They usually take twenty minutes or half an hour to cook.Potatoes are also baked (烤). They are put in an oven (烤箱)for about half an hour. Usually their skins are not taken away. Baked potatoes with their skins on are called potatoes in their jackets.Roasting is like baking because it is usually done in an oven. The main difference between baking and roasting is that when baking one does not use fat, but in roasting one does. For their Sunday lunch many English people usually have roast beef with roast potatoes.Frying is like roasting because fat or oil is used but one does not use an oven. There are two main ways of frying potatoes. One can cut them into pieces and fry them in a special shallow pan called a frying pan. The other way is called deep frying. The pieces of potatoes are put into a deep pan or metal box full of oil. This is like boiling except that one uses oil instead of water.12 题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下全文的主题句；5 题将文中画线句子译成汉语。1.
