To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? 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, and we discover them in our everyday life too--in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body Strong.”
(1) The writer says more about ________ in the text.
[ ]
A.life full of music
B.life without music
C.the importance of music
D.the development of music
(2) From the text, we learn that many people ________.
[ ]
A.don't realize the importance of music
B.get along quite well without music
C.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
D.think music would be less exciting than moving plot
(3) In the writer's opinion, if there was no music in the films or TV plays, ________.
[ ]
A.the cinema and theatre would be quiet
B.we would lose some of the audience
C.everything would be as exciting as before
D.it would be hard to imagine the result
(4) The underlined word “melody” means ________.
[ ]
(5) From the last paragraph, we learn that music ________.
[ ]
A.is very important, especially for children
B.is very necessary for our everyday life
C.can make our life exciting and dramatic
D.can make you enter another beautiful world
