1. 此处修饰名词arts，arts和pass down是被动关系，用pass的过去分词passed作后置定语，表“被传承”。
2. 系动词are后接形容词作表语，根据后文“它们帮助青少年了解历史”，可知此处表达“有用的”，use的形容词形式useful符合语境。
3. 句中出现than表示比较，需要用形容词hard的比较级harder。
4. 此处作表语修饰事物Western arts，表达“令人兴奋的”，excite的形容词形式exciting符合语境。
5. 此处作后置定语修饰Music，music和come from是主动关系，用come的现在分词coming。
6. 动词let后要接人称代词的宾格形式，they的宾格是them。
7. 此处表示“他们的家庭/家人”，their后接可数名词复数，family的复数形式是families。
8. 此处表示泛指新的事物，thing是可数名词，要用复数形式things。
9. 符合固定句型It is + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth.，表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”，此处填to learn。
10. 此处traditional和modern是并列关系，用并列连词and连接，表“传统的和现代的”。
