In front of the Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-size bronze statue (雕像) of a dog.

It has been used as a meeting point since 1934 and today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive—just look for the crowds.
Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Eisaburo Uyeno, was a professor (教授) at the Imperial University. They were close friends from the very beginning.

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?
First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. And second, music is fun. People enjoy
playing drums (鼓) and using their energy!
Scientists (科学家) say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear—and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce (发音) them much better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at maths. This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments (乐器) always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school orchestras (管弦乐队) enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.
You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to ask your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit (习惯)—for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.
Parents should listen to their children playing and tell them that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant (愉快的) part of the day. 41. Which of the following can’t music help children? A. Learn languages. B. Learn maths. C. Work together. D. Use energy. 42. How often should children practice playing an instrument according to the article? A. Every day. B. Once a week. C. Once a month. D. Twice a week. 43. What should parents do when their children are playing instruments? A. Do housework. B. Play with them. C. Give them advice. D. Listen to them playing. 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to this article? A. Music can give us pleasure only when we are unhappy.
B. It’s easy for parents to ask their children to play instruments.
C. It’s good to finish music practice with a piece of music the child likes. D. People who can play instruments always have nothing to do at a party. 45. What’s the best title of this passage? A. How to play an instrument B. Music helps the young C. Learning music is pleasant D. Practice makes perfect
