(40 points)Text 1 When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.

They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.1、According to paragraph 1, students _.Aregard music as a way of entertainmentBdisagree with their parents on educationCview music as an overlooked subjectDprefer the arts to science2、In Paragraph 2, the author use
