Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（預(yù)算）. For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent 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 countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That39。s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn39。t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解碼）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. （1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____. A.they were too difficult to learnB.students in the US weren39。t interested in musicC.the schools wanted to control budgetsD.there weren39。t enough music teachers in the US（2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word them refer to（指代）?
