3．Can you imagine a world without music？Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money.Worse，some schools have never had music classes to begin with.But without them，students could suffer in many ways，including their studies and emotion.In fact，music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes.Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points.Students' success in studies seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student's sense of pride and self-confidence.Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language，class，cultural and political boundaries.Music allows students from different countries to connect.For example，at a school talent show，a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate.Although they didn't speak the same language，they were able to read the music in order to play the duet.Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body.Some of her organs，bones and muscles were out of shape.No one expected her to survive.She did make it but with her strange body figure，everyone could recognize her，even from a distance.
In Emily White's hometown，there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium（禮堂）.It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town's people.Many people tried out each year for it but so many were turned away.It could only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice.Last year she went to Mrs Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance.Without letting her sing，Mrs Owens took a look at Emily's body and said，"Child，you just don't fit.Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable.It would make them uncomfortable，too."
Without singing a single note，Emily was sent back through the door of the choral（合唱）room.Hurt and upset，she decided never to try out again.But Mrs Owens then retired.
This year，there came a new music teacher，Butler.He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn't want to be rejected again，so she hesitated a little about it.As Emily struggled，the door was pushed open and Mr Butler called，"Emily，you're next." Although kind of nervous，Emily did as Mr Butler told her to do.Mr Butler sat by the piano to accompany Emily.When Emily finished her testing performance，she thanked Mr Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn't sleep that night.She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted.By the next morning，her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
The next day，Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room._________.
Finally，the day of performance came._________.組卷：8引用：2難度：0.5
