The word“day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋轉(zhuǎn))of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(長度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(傾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
【小題1】When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.
A.both day and night | B.day |
C.neither day nor night | D.night |
A.the pushing | B.the pulling | C.the spinning | D.the passing |
A.sometimes | B.never | C.usually | D.a(chǎn)lways |
A.less | B.more | C.a(chǎn)ll | D.no |
A.the USA is tilted toward the sun |
B.the South Pole is tilted away from the sun |

When students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(優(yōu)先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is very important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it shows 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(身份,特性)as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts can express the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same thing. 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 through which we express our fears, 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 an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
【小題1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.Students regard music as a way of entertainment. |
B.Students disagree with their parents on education. |
C.Students take music as an important subject. |
D.Students prefer the arts to science. |
A.compare it with rock music |
B.show music identifies a society |
C.introduce American musical traditions |
D.prove music influences people’s lifestyles |
A.explain the world in different ways |
B.explain different facts of the world |
C.express people’s feelings in different ways |
D.explain what it means to be human differently |
A.Music education is worth more attention. |
B.Music should be of top education priority. |
C.Music is really a good communication tool. |
D.Music education makes students more imaginative. |
