Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.

A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.

Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.

Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.

Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.

1.How does music affect preterm babies?

A. It helps reduce their pain.

B. It helps develop their potential in music.

C. It helps improve their hearing systems.

D. It helps repair their neurological systems.

2.What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Lead to

B. Increase

C. Prevent

D. Break into

3.Why can music mend a broken heart?

A. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.

B. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.

C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.

D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Who can benefit from music

B. The best time to listen to music

C. The way to choose quality music

D. How music affects our mind and body

Many people feel that dream is unique to humans. However, many dog owners will likely disagree on that. They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs, snort (哼) and sometimes growl (低声吼叫) which gives the impression that they are dreaming. These things may wonder us about whether dogs dream.

Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream. It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles. Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dog’s brain and human’s brain. Scientists already knew that when humans dream, a certain part of the brain is active during sleep. Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs. Scientists have other data that back up these findings.

Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot. Interestingly, part of that experience is not a dream. When people sleep, the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed (使麻痹). Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping. Dog brains make the same chemical. In one study during which this chemical was blocked, sleeping test dogs performed physical activities, such as standing up, sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits, or chasing imaginary balls.

Because of these similarities, researchers believe that the content of a dog’s dream might come from the same source as a human’s dream. “People’s dreams are usually based on things they did that day,” says Dr. Samantha Hudspith. “So there is reason to believe that dogs dream about the things they’ve done that day. Of course, there will never be a way to prove this. Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can.”

1.What does the underlined phrase “back up” mean in the second paragraph?

A.Disagree. B.Support.

C.Record. D.Show.

2.What happened to a sleeping dog when this chemical mentioned in paragraph 3 was cut off?

A.It woke up. B.It stopped dreaming.

C.It acted out its dream. D.It couldn't move its body.

3.How is the text mainly developed?

A.By telling stories B.By giving examples.

C.By comparing details D.By listing differences.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Do Dogs Dream? B.Why Do Dogs Dream?

C.Signs of Dog Dreams D.Similarities Between Humans and Dogs

Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.

It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.

In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.

However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?

A.They have all of the same interests as you do.

B.You seldom meet them in your life.

C.They are sure to become your good friends.

D.Not all of them can become your friends.

2.According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you ________.

A.go to the same school as your friend

B.get into trouble

C.enjoy the same kind of music as your friend

D.see your friend often

3.We know from the passage that ________.

A.it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not

B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends

C.people without friends are always unhappy

D.it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one

4.What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?

A.Very deep. B.Not deep at all.

C.As precious as skin. D.Hidden under the skin.

5.What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?

A.Interested. B.Angry.

C.Hopeful. D.Regretful.

Besides giving off gases and dusts into the air, humans produce waste that is poured on the environment. Often, this waste produced by major industries and people is harmful to both nature and human life.

One of the main causes of the large amount of dangerous waste is that people do not realize how large a problem it is. Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill(废渣填埋场),the problem is often believed to end there. In addition, industries have often shown an unwillingness to find ways to deal with dangerous waste because of the related expenses. Many industries and governments build simple landfills to store waste, and often just pour waste chemicals into nearby bodies of water. Often, chemicals used for industrial production cause dangerous forms of waste.The amount of these chemicals has increased greatly in the past, but it is often difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way safe to human life and the environment.

Every year, major health problems result from dangerous waste. Sadly, it is often only after someone has died or become seriously ill that governments will take measures to reduce levels of harmful waste.

Some governments have realized how serious the dangerous waste problem is and are now trying to settle this problem. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.

Not only governments but ordinary people as well must work together to solve the problem. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of dangerous waste, and produce less harmful waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one third using existing technologies and methods.

1.What would be the best title for the text?

A．Measures of Reducing Dangerous Waste

B．Danger of Harmful Waste to Mankind

C．Dangerous Waste and Water Pollution

D．Environmental Protection

2.According to the text, people ________ .

A．do not produce harmful waste in their daily life

B．do not know where to place the dangerous waste

C．are not clear about how serious the dangerouswaste problem is

D．are not sure about where harmful waste ends

3.What troubles industries most in dealing with the dangerous waste problem?

A．How to get government support.

B．How to increase their production.

C．How to store harmful waste.

D．How to cut down the related costs.

4. What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The polluting industries are not allowed to sell their products.

B．Present technologies have settled the harmful waste problem.

C．Everyone should obey the government rules for the problem.

D．To solve the problem requires the efforts of the whole society.
