第二节 阅读C篇短文，按要求完成下列各题。
C
To me, music is food and water. I know this isn’t right for everyone. Usually lots of people go to concerts or listen to music records. Maybe some of you don’t do these, but music is everywhere in our life. For example, when you watch movies or TV plays, we will find them boring if there’s no music. And when you’re waiting for the train or the plane, some music can make the time short.
Some people like to listen to the sound of the sea. Some enjoy listen to the singing of birds. Those sounds are some kind of music. So music has meaning for everyone. Of course, it has special meaning for people like me. We spend our lives playing or writing music.
Someone said, “Through music a child goes into a world of beauty(美丽), learns to take care of others and makes his mind and body healthy.”
