26、ly 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(優先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. B

27、ecause music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music exp

28、resses 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 an

29、d 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 e

30、xpress 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 m

31、eanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do.

Music education makes students more imaginative.CCamping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,

35、at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Brita

36、in. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowners permission, except in natio

37、nal parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野營地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better stil

38、l, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good nights sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped be

39、fore rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter.

40、Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not madechanging it should be unnecessary.43.

In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamins older brother, started th

43、e New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant, few believe that newspapers in t

44、heir present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently,“At places where they g

45、ather, editors ask one another,How are you?, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.” Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look

46、 slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock.
