“Without music, life would be a mistake,”famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. 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 arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washing 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 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 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. 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.
51. Some schools in the US cut music classes, because________. A. students in the US weren't interested in music B. the schools wanted to control budgets
C. there weren't enough music teachers in the US
52. In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word“them”refer to(指代) A. Public schools. B. Fired teachers. C. Parents in Chicago 53. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music. B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds
C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
54. How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One B. Two C. Three 55. What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage? A. Music is as simple as it looks.
B. Music classes should be cut in some schools. C. Music is a big part of our lives.

Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.
Learn to read the labels
“best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer(冷冻室) The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until you're ready to eat them. It's also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it's easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it's possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.
Keep More Food on the Table Why How Some people are facing the problem 56 . ●Cook from the fridge It's a good idea to use the foods that you have first, especially the fresh foods 57 . ●Learn to read the labels It’s important to know“best-before”and “use-by” dates of different foods and 58 them in the right way. ● 59 .
