How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is only a way of entertainment(娱乐), and they won't choose music for education as their first consideration(考虑). This opinion is shortsighted. In my opinion, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music not only reflects(反映) the social environment it came from but also expresses people's thinking and values. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle too. George Gershwin and other musicians brought the influence of jazz into their own music. It is clearly in an American style because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores(探究) the meanings of feelings. We need every possible way to discover and react to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we humans communicate with each other. Through the language, we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what is the meaning of being humans. Music does.
So music education is much more important than people realize.

这是一篇英语任务型阅读填表题,解题时首先要通读全文把握核心主旨,明确文章围绕音乐教育的重要性展开论述;之后逐空对应表格的句式要求,回到原文定位相关语句,结合语义、词性、语法规则推导匹配答案,同时要注意同义转换、词性变形的合理性,确保填入内容既符合原文含义,也适配表格的句子结构。
【解析】
1. 全文核心论述音乐教育对学生的重要性,标题表达“音乐教育对学生很重要”,matters有“要紧、重要”的含义,符合语境。
