When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.
“Does your mom love you？” “Of course，” they answered. “How do you know？” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”.
“Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her？” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time.
Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a
blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.

“Without music, life would be a mistake，” famous German philosopher(哲学家)Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算)．
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1，000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus(关注) on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is useful in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.
1．Some schools in the US cut music classes, because . A．they were too difficult to learn
B．students in the US weren't interested in music C．the schools wanted to control budgets D．there weren't enough music teachers in the US 2．What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
B．Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds. C．Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D．Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music. 3．How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A．One.
B．Two. D．Four.
C．Three.
4．What's the writer's opinion according to this passage? A．Music is as simple as it looks.
B．Music classes should be cut in some schools. C．Music is a big part of our lives.
D．Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

Young people and older people don't always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
