　　the main reason is that compared with natural sciences,arts (humanities and fine arts)serves rudder. first of all,arts plays a essential role in moulding magnificent qualities of people.a majority of works and writings not only epressed the impressive feelings in the world,which were sentimental and natural,but also gave us many ideas about love,faith and charity.in fact,these ideas have withstood the test of time.they represent the accumulated wisdom of our ancestors down through the ages.people,who equipped with these theories,can make sound judgements about any problems which may crop up.

　　secondly,arts is the source of happiness in our lives.for instance,a classic light opera can give delight to millions of people.and moreover,some painting masterpieces are eactly a great satisfactions .especially, some ecellent literature works enrich our lives and make us feel that we are part of the great family of mankind.therefore,it is nothing but the arts that brings optimistic mental conditions to us.

　　in addition arts subjects are good for boosting children’s mental development.recently,a american study shows that mozart’s works can help children to improve their graphic cognition.hence arts education is not only of benefit to moulding people’s quality,but also to discovering people’s potential. all in all ,the arts’ contribution to our lives can not be replaced by science although both arts and science push the boundaries of human cognition.
