Running two miles on the playground isn’t a fun thing to do for most students. But students in Miss Brown’s class at Mark Twain School in the USA gladly put on their running shoes. They wanted to raise money to help a dog in need.

Miss Brown told her students about Peter, a dog who had a hard start in life. At less than a year old, Peter’s owners found out that he was not healthy. Something was wrong with his body. Medicine could help but it was very expensive. For Peter to have a better life, he needed surgery (外科手術). But his owners couldn’t afford that. Finally, they had to leave Peter at the animal hospital.

“I love dogs and when I hear about Peter, I felt so sad for him,” says student Tony.

Miss Brown’s class decided to hold a Jog-a-Thon to raise money for Peter’s surgery.

“At first I felt like the Jog-a-Thon was just to get us to exercise,” says Mike “but then I wanted to help this dog.”

“I just wanted to make a difference in Peter’s life,” adds student Chance Wood.

News of the Jog-a-Thon spread throughout the school. Before long, five other classes also took part in the event. “I started receiving money from all kinds of people in our school community,” says Miss Brown. “We raised $3,180.64 in all.”

Music and Art will enter the Entrance Exam for the high school in Jiangsu. Without music, life would be a mistake. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (預算).

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 (有益的) in many ways.

(4) 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 (解碼) 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.
