"Without music， life would be a mistake，" famous German philosopher （哲学家） Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago． Music is a （A） bigpart of our lives． But in recent years， some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets （预算）．
For example， Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired （解雇） over 1000teacher． Among （B） them， 10percent of the teachers taught art or music， according to The Washington Times． In fact， this is not just a problem in the US． In other （C） countries ， such as China and Britain， music class is not thought to be as important as classes like science， math and history． That's partly because music is not seen as a very important like skill， and it doesn't use an exam system （体系）． （D） 许多学生忙于作业， so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often．

Sometimes good ideas have bad results． This is what happened to Spain's Matrera Castle （城堡）． The castle was built in the 9th century and has interested thousands of visitors every year． But part of it broke after a heavy rain， so the castle needed a big repair． However， the result didn't turn out well． The castle became a totally modern building!
"The building has nothing to do with what it used to be， or even with a medieval （中世纪的） castle，" criticized （批评） the Spanish cultural heritage group （文化遗产组织） Hispania Nostra． People across the world have been laughing about it online too． "How terrible!" "They've got builders rather than repairers．" "No words are needed when you see the pictures．"
The leader of the repair said that he wanted to make sure the building stayed standing． Facing the criticism， he also added， "Opinions are always welcome．"

A young girl raises her hand in class to answer the teacher's question． She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a "know﹣it﹣all" and sees someone else roll （滚动） his eyes． She doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident woman are thought to be "bossy （专横的）"．
The stereotype （成见） that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014 "Ban Bossy" campaign （"禁用专横"运动）． This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay confident in the face of being called "bossy"．
Laila Farah， from DePaul University， US， says she believes this stereotype comes from history． "There is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys，" Farah says． "There is also another very old idea that women act according to their feelings．"
"Gender （性别） stereotypes come from nearly everywhere，" Farah says． "It's is learned when people were babies， from the toys chosen， to saying girls aren't good at math．"
In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute， many girls said that the biggest thing holding them back from taking part in class was getting judged （评判）． Girls learn to keep their ideas and leadership skills to themselves．
Maybe instead of never using the word bossy， we need to forget the idea that being bossy is a bad thing． At the end of the day， bossy people get the job done．
