How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.

解析

短文大意：这篇短文主要谈论了音乐对于我们工作和生活的重要作用。
小题1:根据第一段How important is music? 及下文描述,可知本文主要谈论的是音乐教育很重要.of是介词,后面接名词作宾语,故填名词importance,抽象名词,不可数,故用原形即可.
小题2:根据第二段Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators’ thinking and values,描述,可知此处指的是,音乐也表达出人们的想法和价值观.结合语境可知填复数名词values,价值观念.
小题3:根据第三段Science explains how the sun rises and sets.描述,可知此处指的是科学解释了大自然如何运作.结合语境可知本句描述的是客观性动作,故用一般现在时态.故填works,工作,运转.
小题4:根据短文第四段Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others.描述,可知此处指的是,我们用音乐来表达我们的感情……，to是不定式符号，后面接动词原形express，表达。
小题5:根据短文第三段Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings.描述，可知此处指的是音乐不同于科学，结合语境可知填形容词different，不同的。
