When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(视角) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

1.According to paragraph 1, students ________.

A.regard music as a way of entertainment

B.disagree with their parents on education

C.view music as an overlooked subject

D.prefer the arts to science

2.In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.

A.compare it with rock music

B.show music identifies a society

C.introduce American musical traditions

D.prove music influences people’s lifestyles

3.According to the passage, the arts and science ________.

A.approach the world from different angles

B.explore different phenomena of the world

C.express people’s feeling in different ways

D.explain what it means to be human differently

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Music education deserves more attention.

B.Music should be of top education priority.

C.Music is an effective communication tool.

D.Music education makes students more imaginative.

Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strangely. They stamp their feet and signal toward the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish fall heavily in the mud. Suddenly, a huge wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami (海啸)!

Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. Imagine dropping a stone into a pond. The water on the surface ripples (起涟漪). A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple. Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly. Large amounts of seawater are displaced. This movement causes huge waves.

If a tsunami happens, there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes, landslides (塌方), large icebergs, and even meteorites (陨石) are able to cause one of these giant waves.

Tsunamis are extremely powerful. Ordinary waves lose power when they break. Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days. Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage property, and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.

Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful enough earthquake happens, scientists can send out a warning or a watch. A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favorable for a tsunami. When people are informed of a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way!

1.Why are elephants acting strangely before the Tsunamis?

A.They dislike the huge wave.

B.They are afraid of the big fish.

C.They can sense something out of the ordinary.

D.They see the ocean drawing back from the beaches.

2.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Moved out of normal place. B.Pushed by human force.

C.Pulled to great heights. D.Hung down quickly.

3.Why do Tsunamis cause so much destruction?

A.They are not familiar to most people.

B.They are very powerful and long-lasting.

C.They break on the coast, unlike normal waves.

D.They are caused by underwater earthquakes.

4.What is this text mainly about?

A.How to guard against tsunamis. B.Differences between wave types.

C.What to do with tsunami waves. D.Causes and effects of tsunamis.
