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 parents often say their teenage son looks like a grown　 man.He is taller than his father，and his voice has turned deep.But his behavior is another matter.He makes hurried decisions, tries to smoke and drink，drives cars too fast and always makes his parents annoyed.Why?

That's because his brain is developing more slowly than his　 body.Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health and UCLA carried　 out　 a long­time　 study　 of normal　 brain development.They found that the frontal lobe (大脑额叶 )，the area responsible for understanding future influences，making wise decisions and controlling impulses(冲动)，does not become mature (成熟的)until the early 20s.

Because of the immature brains，teenagers are easily influenced by the environment and unexpected behavior.So their death rates rise sharply.Research shows that rates of death by injury for people between the age of 15 and 19 are six times those seen in kids aged 10 to 14.The government reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in a car accident and three times more likely to die in one.

Teens may be attracted to drugs and alcohol.Rates of drug and alcohol use are high when compared with those of other age groups.Frances Jensen and David Urion，doctors at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School，discovered that adult brain cells recovered (恢复 ) more quickly from alcohol influence than younger brain cells.Jensen said in Harvard Magazine: “For a teenager，what he drank on the weekend is still with him during that test on Thursday.”

Teens aren't making trouble on purpose.They long for freedom，but they are still young.They're still forming into the adults they'll eventually be.And，of course，they won't be at this age forever.Home education plays one of the most important roles in young people's growth，and the influence is most lasting.Finally，they will grow up and become wise adults.

1.Which of the following is NOT the typical behavior of a teenage boy?

A. Driving cars too fast.

B. Making their parents annoyed.

C. Quarreling with their friends.

D. Making careless decisions.

2.Teens death rates rise sharply because of their ________.

A. immature brains

B. brave and impatient character

C. small and cheap cars

D. changeable environments

3.From the last paragraph，we can make the conclusion that ________.

A. teenagers should have freedom to do what they like to do

B. teenagers still require lots of care and attention from their parents

C. teenagers usually make their parents annoyed on purpose

D. teenagers actually know how to make wise decisions
