For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two-songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are far apart on the musical scale.

    As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their ability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally（故意地）stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists arc finally learning bow to identify this unusual condition.

    Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn't involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't sec certain colors.

    Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years. Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, 'No thanks. I'm amusic,'” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”

“诚意、正心、修身、齐家、治国、平天下”，是中国传统文化中知识分子的人生理想。这种人生理想不仅影响从古至今个人人生道路的选择，也深刻影响国家的治理。阅读下列材料，回答有关问题。

材料一:中国自古就重视文化立国。比如，古代仁人志士崇尚“穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下”的精神境界，“为天地立心，为生民立命，为往圣继绝学，为万世开太平”的道义担当；胸怀“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”“先忧后乐”“舍生取义”的爱国情操，“富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能屈”的凛然正气，“仁义礼智信”的为人操守，“君子以自强不息”“不坠青云之志”的奋进态度；践行“见贤思齐”“知行合一”“己所不欲，勿施于人”“三省吾身”“君子慎独”的修身之方，“孝悌忠信”“百善孝为先”“家和万事兴”的齐家之略；信奉“水能载舟、亦能覆舟”“治国之道，必先富民”的理政之道，“天下为公”“世界大同”“致中和”的经世方略，等等。这些对中国古代治国理政以及全体中国人的人格言行影响深远。中国社会治理的背后，总体来说都有着传统文化思想作为底蕴，都不同程度地体现了对中国传统文化和道德的尊崇。

材料二:小马、小孙是援藏队伍中的一对博士夫妻，均毕业于北大。小孙是法学博士，做涉外律师时每小时有300美金收入。她说自己全是读的公费，国家培养她这么多年，当然应该为国家出些力。小马出生在云南偏僻的彝族山寨里，村民接济让他得以求学。他有坚忍不拔的毅力。由于英语底子较差，为考硕士、博士，曾屡遭挫折。在选择服务去向时，他们认为西藏比北京更需要人才和知识，在那里，他们能更好实现人生价值。于是，他们怀着改变少数民族地区贫困面貌的理想和为国效力、奉献社会的激情来到雪域高原，以实际行动诠释社会主义核心价值观，传递正能量，把自己的人生价值追求与国家民族的需要融为一体。
