一

"Without music, life would be a mistake," famous German philosopher (哲学家) Fridrich 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(解雇) 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 on subjects that are tested more

often.

However, learning music is beneficial 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 was talented in playing the piano.

A: they were too difficult to learn

D: Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

4. How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?
