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 the arts education when it fired(解雇) over 1,000 teachers. 10 percent of them 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 is not thought to be as important as other subjects 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 their 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. They 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 good at playing the piano.11.Some schools in the US cut music classes because 　　　. A.students in the US weren’t interested in musicB.they were too difficult to learnC.there weren’t enough music teachers in the USD.the schools wanted to control budgets12.In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to?A.Public schools.

She has a bionic(电子操控的)arm.Now, Kitts runs a day-care center. Children run up to her happily as she comes into the classroom. She bends over to talk with a small girl.
