　　(2009·北京）

　　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 mere 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（感知）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.
