Why is music an important subject that every child should study?

First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us1when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, 2 and relaxing. We can choose the music to3 our moods (情绪). And second, music is fun. Everyone enjoys playing the drums and using their4Scientists say that music helps children with language learning.

This is not8, as music is mathematical(数学的), with notes in order. Playing music with other people also helps children to9. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a10.

The Palace Museum, one of the greatest ancient wonders of China, is using modern technology to attract (吸引) visitors.

Back in December 2015, a digital gallery (数字馆) at Duanmen opened in the Palace Museum. A film on the screen can help visitors lean about the museum in a short time. Then visitors can walk into a palace, seeing and touching many treasures through VR. They can even talk with ancient people with the help of AI.

In fact, digitalization of the museum started about 20 years ago. In 2001, the museum first opened websites in Chinese and English. Visitors from all over the world could see the introduction and new notices online.

In February 2015, the museum offered an app named Meirigg to show is collection. The app introduces one treasure every day. In 2018, the museum developed a program on WeChat. which advises visitors on the best route (路线) through the museum.

This year, because of COVID-19, the Palace Museum closed its door to the public on January 25. Then the museum turned to the Internet. As a result, on April 5 and 6, it provided three live-streamed( 直播的) tours.

The three tours took different routes around the Palace Museum. Two researchers from the museum became tour guides, telling people secrets and stories about the place.

What's more，the Palace Museum has partnered with Huawei to build a smart network of 5G throughout the museum. Huawei will also use AI to help with the protection of artworks.

Do you have the experience of taking music lessons against your wishes? Perhaps you have complained about it because you thought it took you much playtime. But now you'd better thank your parents for their time and money spent on your musical training. A recent study suggests music lessons can make children have better memories than their peers(同龄人).

The Canadian study showed that after one year of musical training, children did better on a memory test than those who didn't take music lessons.

The researchers made the children aged between 4 and 6 into two groups——one group of children took music lessons outside school, and the other didn't take any musical training. In one year, they took four tests indifferent times. The results showed brain development changes at least every four months.

The children taking music lessons not only did better in musical listening but also made faster progress in other ways, such as reading, writing, math and IQ.

People say music is the good medicine for a broken heart. Now it seems music can also help us to improve our memories. We are sure to find more and more in the wonderful world of music.

Raise your eyes in a and look into the distance.

I like to listen to the music that can cheer me up when I .

a that you can't go for a picnic with us.
