Kida in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, have something to sing about. For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes. They
didn’t have the money to pay for them. But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year.
Many school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to school. And studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower. For example, researchers from the University of Southern California recently released the results of a five-year study. They found that the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t.
Though most people aren’t against teaching music in schools, not everyone says it’s necessary.
Many school officials argue(争论) that learning music mean less time spent on math, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life.
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them!
Taking music lessons can also build character. In 2015, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey on music education. More than 60 percent of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child became more focused(集中注意力)。
——Noah Falcon, New. Jersey
At my school, we don’t have music classes. I think that’s OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and math. It’s more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play an instrument or sing.
If someone wanted to take music lessons, he or she could do it outside of school. I took a mariachi (墨西哥街头乐队音乐) class after school, so it didn’t take time away from my other classes.
____Sophia Salazar, California
24. What change has happened in primary schools in Bellaire this year?
A. Music classes are offered. B. The school year is shortened.
C. Singing is allowed in schools. D. Kida can get prizes if they learn music.
25. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Create. B. Prevent. C. Increase. D. Discover.
26. What does Noah Falcon think of music education?
A. It is unnecessary. B. It is very important.
C. It is a waste of money. D. It is easy to continue.
27. What can we learn about Sophia Salazar?
A. She didn’t like music at all. B. Music brings her more fun.
C. Music helps her keep focused. D. She took a music class after school.

He bought an ice cream maker and began experimenting with her recipe. “It took me away from everything,” he says. Six experiments later, Cole perfected his chocolate treat, Ice Ice Baby, and began selling ice cream out of his apartment.
In 2014, Cole opened his own shop not far from where he grew up. But no matter how popular he becomes, cole is committed to (忠于)his neighborhood, “For me ,ice cream is about encouraging other Mikeys to start businesses and give back,” says Cole, “just like my aunt taught me.” How sweet he is!

A new program encouraging children ages 9 to 12 to get interested in computers, math and science starts next week at all 36 libraries of the San Diego Public Library.
Called“Spring into STEAM,”the program will offer workshops in March, April and May . It begins on March2.
“We know that science education is so important now, and technology is changing so fast,”said Misty Jones, library director. “We see this as a way to bring kids new ideas and help them know more about the world around them.”
STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math, and there will be workshops in each area. This year’s theme(主题) is “Bug Out!” so the science workshop will invite insect(昆虫)experts to explain the survival skills of insects. The engineering workshop will watch bees as builders. For math, the kids will learn spatial geometry (空间几何学) by making 3-Dpaper insects. Kids in other workshops will learn computer coding , create a light using a glass bottle, or build insects using pipe cleaners and LED lights.
Jones said she’s also excited about the chance for children to take part in the International Barcode of Life Project, which is trying to create a digital catalog(电子目录) of different kinds of insects on Earth. Kids in San Diego can ask for free insect collection tools at their local libraries beginning on March 2. Insects they collect can then be sent in for DNA identification.
Jones said it is unusual for every library to start the same program at the same time. “It’s something we’ve been trying to do, and I think it’s just the beginning of the chances we will be able to offer,”she said.
32. What do we know about “Spring into STEAM”?

A bird that hums
Many birds are known for their special songs or calls. But one type of bird is famous for its hum （嗡嗡声）---the hummingbird. In fact, hummingbirds get their name from the humming noise they make. 36 . Instead, the hum comes from the whir(嗡嗡声) of this tiny bird’s wings in flight.
37 .But one type of hummingbird makes a buzzing sound—the bee hummingbird of Cuba. The bee hummingbird gets its name not only from its buzz, but also from its size. This smallest bird in the world is only tow inches(5cm) long.
When a young hummingbird first hatches(孵化) from its egg, its body and wings are featherless(无羽毛的).But as soon as its feathers come in, the tiny bird starts to practice “humming.”38 , the baby hummingbird can beat its wings fast enough to “whir”,and it’s ready to fly.
When a grown hummingbird really gets going, it can beat its wings up to 200 times per second and fly forward at about 30 miles per hour. Hummingbirds can also beat their wings both forward and backward as well as up and down.39 ---it is the only type of bird that can hover(盘旋)，or stay in one place in the air. While it hovers, a bumming bird’s wings beat back and forth up to 70 times per second. 40 , watch its whirring wings and listen closely. Can you hear the hummingbird’s hum?
A. When its wings beat very fast
B. After about a month of practice
C. The next time you see a humming bird
D. This ability makes the hummingbird more special
E. Most hummingbirds’ wings make a humming sound
F. You might guess that a hummingbird’s hum comes from its voice
G. The baby hummingbird flies backward and forward as soon as it has feathers

Shoes in the future will be quite different from. what they are now. First of all, their size and shape will be changeable. When, you press a button near the tongue, the shoes will tighten or loosen to fit your feet. The shoes will also be able to change color based on changes in temperature ormovement. They will be able to turn cooler when it is hot and warmer when it is cold. They will also be able to play music, store solar energy and light your way when it is dark. All in all, I think shoes in the future will be more comfortable and amazing.
That ‘s all. Thank you
