Music education hasn’t changed much since the 1970s. Students are still taught to read notation(乐谱) so they can recite compositions that they would never listen to on their MP3 players or play with friends. Playing music enriches life. The question is: Why do schools teach music in a way that turns off so many young people rather than catch their imagination? Can we do a better job of using the power of music to get kids excited about school?
The experience of an organization called Little Kids Rock suggests the answer is yes — if we change the way music is taught. Little Kids Rock has helped music programs in over a thousand public schools and served 150,000 children. The organization has given 30,000 free instruments out, mainly guitars, and trained 1,500 teachers to run music classes in which students quickly experience the joys of playing their favorite songs, performing in bands(乐队), and writing their own music.
The key to Little Kids Rock is that it teaches children to play music the way many musicians learn to play it — not by notation, but by listening, imitation(模仿) and meaningful experimentation. “The knowledge you need to get started playing rock music is very limited,” explains Dave Wish, the founder of Little Kids Rock. “In high school, my friend Paul taught me a couple of chords(和弦) and my life was changed forever. On the first day of class, Little Kids Rock teachers place guitars in the hands of their students and get them practicing chords that will enable them to play thousands of songs. The kids decide what songs they want to learn and the class is off and running. Their progress is surprising. Within a year, eight and nine-year-olds are playing musical instruments, and giving concerts, even performing their own songs.
One of the biggest advantages that music offers is the ability to encourage students who are otherwise bored by school. “I’ve had students start coming back to school because of this program,” said Adkison Thomas, who heads up music for the Dallas Independent School District. He added, “One of the best things is that the teachers discover a new side of their students. They see kids become successful who weren’t before.”
1. The expression “turn off” in Paragraph 1 means “______”.
A. make kids feel cool B. make kids feel bored
C. make kids feel confident D. make kids feel nervous
2. How did Little Kids Rock help the school?
A. By writing music for kids. B. By playing kids’ favorite songs.
C. By making instruments for school. D. By training teachers for music classes.
3. Little Kids Rock is successful because ______.
A. it encourages kids to experience music
B. it helps kids learn from great musicians
C. it allows kids to decide how to learn music
D. it offers musical programs all over the country
4. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Learning music is a good way to become successful.
B. Teaching in a proper way benefits students’ development.
C. It’s necessary for students to practice a lot in learning music.
D. It’s important for teachers to discover the new sides of students.

Chinese are very generous in educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to ta ke extra-course activities such as musical instrument learning or ballet classes, or other classes. They think these will give them a good future. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend much unreasonable money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, most parents don’t understand that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very good in some areas while poor in others. Parents also can see some children are good at these skills and others do well in others. Most parents don’t realize that today’s children lack self-resp ect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and improve his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
1. What don’t most parents realize today ?
A. Education is very important to children.
B. Today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
C. Today’s children lack of skills for tests.
D. Taking extra-courses is useful for children’s future.
2. Generally speaking, children’s skills __________.
A. come from their parents
B. have nothing to do with their education
C. may be different from child to child
D. have much to do with their marks in the exams
3.Doing some cooking at home helps children_________.
A. learn how to help their parents
B. learn how to become strong and fat
C. learn to work hard and be full of confidence
D. make their parent s believe that they are clever
4. The writer of this passage don’t agree with_______.
A. the parents’ ideas of educating children B. the country’s education system
