文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了古人制作音乐的方法。
【推荐3】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Music is in the corners of everyday life. It is said to be beneficial       1    us both physically and mentally.

There are many ways to make music. For example, if you blow into bamboos or shells,       2    ( permit) air to come in, they can produce pleasant music. A recent     3     (discover) suggests that music was played much earlier     4     we think. In 1995, deep in     5     cave in Slovenia     6     was occupied 45,000 years ago by Neanderthals, a leg bone of a bear with four finger holes was found .The finding suggested that flutes(笛子)had come into existence at that time. Later, many other traditional musical instruments like drums     7     (dig) out from under ground. Ancient people even     8    (seek) a way to make music out of a bow(弓) intended for hunting, so we have to admit that they did have a great gift for music. But if     9    (exact) dated, the Neanderthal flute is by far the     10    (early) known example of music.

Now music can be found in every known culture, and even the most distant groups have a certain form of music.
