When listening to music that they like, people work more happily. The way we feel can also affect our health. Let’s look at some of the ways music does this. Runners will run faster when there is fast music playing. They will also run farther. Music even helps them after they stop running. Doctors sometimes use music to help people who are feeling a lot of pain. If they are enjoying music, the pain seems to be less. Some types of music can help people to sleep. When people can not sleep well, it can affect their lives in bad ways. Sometimes they take things to help them sleep. But too much of this can hurt them. Music never hurts, and it does not cost anything! Music can also help us think more clearly. One study showed that people did better on tests when they were listening to music. A later study showed that test—takers only did better if they really liked the music. If you want to get more out of your work and your running, feel less pain, sleep better, or do better on tests, music can help. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．According to the text, music can affect our health in many ways EXCEPT__________.

Unlike them, I like listening to country (乡村) music. “Country road, take me home, to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain Mama… Take me home, country road.” This song, called Take Me Home, Country Roads, was by John Denver, a great country singer in the 1970s. My mum was good at singing it. Since I listened to her sing every night, I became good at it too. Later, my mum was ill and passed away (去世). It was I who always sang it before sleeping time. At the age of 18, I entered Minnesota University and left the country, but this beautiful piece of country music always makes me think of those unforgettable days in my village. When I am tired, it takes me away for a short time. This type of music is picturesque. The guitars and songs are like cars driving me to mountains and farms, to the everyday life and feelings of my family and friends in the village. I can see them clearly. It’s about love, friends, plants and so on. It’s also easy to understand, just like country people. The life in the country is simple (简单的), but hard. We live in dark houses and eat simple food, so the words in the country music are often sad. Maybe when we sing out the sad things, we feel better. Thanks to the modern technology (科技), we can record (记录) the music and take it everywhere. When the dark side of city life comes into my life, I put on my earphones (耳机) and let my body and thoughts travel to where I was born, and then enjoy a fresh breath (呼吸) of country. That’s a place hugged by mountains, and touched by my mum, just as John Denver beautifully sang. 1．After _______, I began to sing the song before sleeping time.

Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a scientific reason for this. Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship (关系) between music and remembering a foreign language(外语). “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially (尤其是) for a foreign language. The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little children, we usually use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English in that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Our brain likes music in learning languages. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指)? A．Difficult words. B．Children. C．Ways.

D．Hua Zhuying learned English in music when she was young. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The importance of music B．A great foreign language teacher C．The songs about childhood D．Learning foreign languages in music As is known to all, music is a natural part of children’s play. Even the youngest children will jump or move their hands to their favorite music. Music can bring lots of other benefits (好处) to children. Music is simply a fun activity that makes little ones feel good. They are not as shy or afraid as adults (成年人) might be when they sing. They relax, sing and move freely, which really makes them happy. Music is also a wonderful way for children to express themselves. Through musical activities, children can tell how they feel and their ideas without being afraid. They can turn their feelings into dancing to music, and put their ideas down in the form of songs that they can sing. When music is in children’s lives, their memory (记忆力) becomes better. It’s clear to all of us that we remember things faster, better and for a longer time by singing them out than just reading them again and again. All in all, music is one of the ways in which children learn about the world from a very early age. It can help children in many different ways. Bring music to their life, and you may be surprised by what it can do. 1．What does Paragraph (段落) 2 want to tell us? A．Music makes children feel good. B．Children are talented in music.

When listening to music that they like, people work more happily. The way we feel can also affect our health. Let’s look at some of the ways music does this. Runners will run faster when there is fast music playing. They will also run farther. Music even helps them after they stop running. Doctors sometimes use music to help people who are feeling a lot of pain. If they are enjoying music, the pain seems to be less. Some types of music can help people to sleep. When people can not sleep well, it can affect their lives in bad ways. Sometimes they take things to help them sleep. But too much of this can hurt them. Music never hurts, and it does not cost anything! Music can also help us think more clearly. One study showed that people did better on tests when they were listening to music. A later study showed that test—takers only did better if they really liked the music. If you want to get more out of your work and your running, feel less pain, sleep better, or do better on tests, music can help. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．According to the text, music can affect our health in many ways EXCEPT__________.

West Virginia, mountain Mama… Take me home, country road.” This song, called Take Me Home, Country Roads, was by John Denver, a great country singer in the 1970s. My mum was good at singing it. Since I listened to her sing every night, I became good at it too. Later, my mum was ill and passed away (去世). It was I who always sang it before sleeping time. At the age of 18, I entered Minnesota University and left the country, but this beautiful piece of country music always makes me think of those unforgettable days in my village. When I am tired, it takes me away for a short time. This type of music is picturesque. The guitars and songs are like cars driving me to mountains and farms, to the everyday life and feelings of my family and friends in the village. I can see them clearly. It’s about love, friends, plants and so on. It’s also easy to understand, just like country people. The life in the country is simple (简单的), but hard. We live in dark houses and eat simple food, so the words in the country music are often sad. Maybe when we sing out the sad things, we feel better. Thanks to the modern technology (科技), we can record (记录) the music and take it everywhere. When the dark side of city life comes into my life, I put on my earphones (耳机) and let my body and thoughts travel to where I was born, and then enjoy a fresh breath (呼吸) of country.

Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a scientific reason for this. Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship (关系) between music and remembering a foreign language(外语). “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially (尤其是) for a foreign language. The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little children, we usually use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English in that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Our brain likes music in learning languages.

Even the youngest children will jump or move their hands to their favorite music. Music can bring lots of other benefits (好处) to children. Music is simply a fun activity that makes little ones feel good. They are not as shy or afraid as adults (成年人) might be when they sing. They relax, sing and move freely, which really makes them happy. Music is also a wonderful way for children to express themselves. Through musical activities, children can tell how they feel and their ideas without being afraid. They can turn their feelings into dancing to music, and put their ideas down in the form of songs that they can sing. When music is in children’s lives, their memory (记忆力) becomes better. It’s clear to all of us that we remember things faster, better and for a longer time by singing them out than just reading them again and again. All in all, music is one of the ways in which children learn about the world from a very early age. It can help children in many different ways.
