That might be different from what educators have been saying in America. But U.S. Education Secretary John King says children really need a well-rounded（全面的）education that includes music and the arts.King spoke about his own education when explaining why schools need to teach more than math, reading and writing. His parents died when he was young. He said things in his house were frightening. It was his teacher in Grades Four, Five and Six Mr. Osterweil who helped him escape from his difficult life at home. Each day in Mr. Osterweils class, students would read a newspaper. The teacher took him and his classmates to the theater, the zoos and famous museums.“Those were powerful, life-changing experiences, King says. After he graduated from Harvard University, he took charge of New York State public schools from 2011-2015. Im alive today, Im doing the work that I do today because I had Mr. Osterweil during that period of my life, King says. Students need to connect their studies to things that matter to them, such as music, if they want to become a thinker.A 2013 report by UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）, says world needs people to be able to solve new and unusual problems now. It says arts can help students find those answers. In the report, UNESCO says teaching the arts in China, South Korea and Japan is different from that in many western countries. The educators in those three countries pay more attention on joyful experiences and childrens interests, the report says. In the West, educators are more likely to connect the arts to reading, writing and math.”Comparing countries is hard because they have different ways to define success. For example some people may think getting high marks in exams is success, while others may hold different views. A 2014 survey by the Program for International Student Assessment tried to compare how well countries teach children how to solve problems. It found Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and China with the highest scores. Singapore was the top one with a score of 562 out of 1,000. The average（平均的） score was 500. The United States had a score of 508, one point behind Germany.So it may be worth rethinking what we should focus on in our class. The basics is not the only part of education.16 .

The city is perhaps most famous for its annual (一年一度的) Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo(米兰世博会), the theme of which is food and nutrition（营养）.Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals(运河) and Florence is popular with the art lovers. Yet Milan can often be let off tourists lists. But although some see Milan as the “Ugly Sister” of these cities, in 2015, the city is “Suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.The delicious Milan Expo will look at the future of food, trying to answer the question of how Earths fast-growing population can be fed in the future. According to the Lonely Planet website, “144 countries will set up shops in northwest of central Milan, forming a mini city-within-a-city”.Milans famous opera house, La Scala, normally(通常地) closed in the summer, will also host daily performances during the Expo, reported Fox News.Not interested in opera? Dont worry. Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro Stadium(体育馆), home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Series A (甲级联赛) and the European Champions league（欧比赛）.So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem “Soulless(缺乏灵魂的)” as Lonely Planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”. Many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?19 .
