Once upon a time ， a hippo (河馬）lived in a river next to a big tree. One day, a bird came and nested (筑巢）in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羨慕） that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.

Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings ， nor claws (爪子）to climb with.

Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing (墜落）to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree,and began singing.

Unfortunately (不幸地)，all that came from his mouth were terrible noises and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength (力氣）to raise the tree back up again ， and looked after it until it completely recovered (康復(fù)).

1.The hippo envied the bird because the bird __________.

2.The hippo tried to climb the tree, but finally he __________.

3.Then he was so angry that __________ and began singing on the leaves of the fallen tree.

Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, US have something to sing about. For the past several years, public primary schools in that town didn't offer music classes. They didn't have the money to pay for them. But now they have got the money to bring back music.

Many school officials (行政官員) across the US say music classes get students excited about going to school. Also, studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower (促進(jìn)腦力). For example, researchers from the University of Southern California did a study. They found that the brains of 10 and11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn't.

Though most people aren't opposed to teaching music in schools, not everyone says it's necessary. Many school teachers say that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life. Here's what two kids 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! In 2018, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey (調(diào)查) on music education. More than 60% of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child is more focused (專注的).

Noah

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 maths. It's more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play a musical instrument. If someone wants to take music classes, he or she can do it outside of school. I take piano classes after school, so it doesn't take time away from my other classes.

Sophia

1.Paragraph 2 uses an example to show that________.

A. students in the US like going to school

B. students in the US like taking music classes

C. music classes are good for students' brain development

D. 10 and 11-year-olds learn to play musical instruments faster

2.What do the underlined words "opposed to" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A. 理解 B. 精通 C. 研究 D. 反對

3.Which of the following does Noah probably agree with?

A. Music adds fun to learning. B. Schools should do music research.

C. Music is useful to students later in life. D. Schools should make music classes simple.

4.What can we learn about Sophia?

A. She hates reading and maths. B. She thinks it is boring to play the piano.

C. She goes home immediately after school. D. She studies in a school without music class
