“Without music,life would be a mistake,”famous German philosopher(哲学家)
FriendrichNietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years,some US schoolshave cut music classes to control budgets(预算).
For example,Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers.Among them,10 percent of the teachers taught art or music,according to The Washington Times. Infact,this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries,such as China and the UK,music classesare not thought to be as important as ones like science,math and history. That’s partly because music isnot seen as a very important life skill,and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork,soparents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However,learning music is beneficial(有益的)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 atplaying music:Einstein played the violin,and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing thepiano.

In Britain,Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. 61 This means it’s not aworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday,the followingMonday is the public holiday.
62 One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages,when great sailing ships were settingoff to discover new land,a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父)on each ship. Those sailors whowanted a safe return would drop money into the box.63
One more thought is about the “Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers(做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. 64

Keep More Food on the Table
It’s said that in some parts of the world,people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can wedo to help them? Here are some suggestions:
Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge,use them first. Make a meal with whatyou have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.
Learn to read the labels
“Best-before”and“use-by”dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foodsand know how to cook them in the right way. For example,black bananas are proper for baking,freshvegetables are good in soups,and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer(冷冻室)
The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them,and store the cooked foods untilyou’re ready to eat them. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby,so it’s easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce foodwaste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.
