To me,life without music would not be exciting. I r 1 that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without g 2 to concerts or listening to records. But music plays an important part in everyone's life,w 3 they realize it or not. Try to imagine,for example,w 4 films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings,the moving plot (情节) ，and the greatest interests,be as e 5 ? I'm not sure about it.
Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning―the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music closely,we d 6 them in our everyday life―in the rhythm (节奏) of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for e 7 ,in some way or other. And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their 1 8 working on playing or writing music.
It is well said ," through music a child enters a world of beauty,expresses h 9 from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and m 10 his body strong."
