A
To me, life would be boring without music. I realize that it is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concerts, and listening to the CDs. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feeling, the moving story, and the greatest interests, be so exciting? I'm not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life, too—in the sound of the sea, the singing of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Though music a child enters into a world of beauty express himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong”．
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。 11．Music is very important in my life.
12．Some people don't realize the importance of music. 13．Music can't be found everywhere in everyday life. 14．Music has meaning, especially for musicians.
15．The writer talked mainly about the development of music.
