Move to the music
Music helps us exercise, but why does it have this effect? Scientists say there are two main reasons.
The first is simple: music distracts (使……分心) us. ____36____ After we exercise for 20 minutes, for example, our body may be tired. But because of the music, we may not feel this right away. As result, we will exercise a little longer.
____37____ When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat. An upbeat song also makes us feel happier. This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer.
____38____ In an experiment, Fritz put 61 people in small groups. Then, they all exercised twice. The first time, each group worked out for six minutes while listening to music. The second time, they exercised for six minutes on special Jymmin machines. On these machines, each group made music as they moved. ____39____ .
How does Fritz explain this? Maybe people did better on the Jymmin machines because they had more control, he says. People created the beat. They could make it go faster or slower. Also, each group was making music together and having fun. ____40____ For example, it may even be a good way to treat depression.
A. Music can also motivate (激发) us.
B. We often give up exercising because of tiredness.
C. Scientists have proved these two points through an experiment.
D. When we listen to a song we like, our brain pays attention to the music.
E. In the future, Fritz wants to find out if Jymmin exercise can help with some illnesses.
F. However, according to a new study by scientist Tom Fritz, this is only part of the explanation.
G. In the end, 53 of the 61 people said the same thing: they felt less tired when they exercised on the Jymmin machines.
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. F 39. G 40. E

【38题详解】

Ⅲ. Read the passage and complete the tasks. (14')
In the mood for music
Music has a strong impact on how people feel. Different types of music can make us feel different emotions. For example, when someone listens to happy music, they may feel joyful and full of energy. This creates a great atmosphere for a party and helps people enjoy themselves. On the other hand, slow or sad music can make people feel emotional. Film makers will often use this kind of music during sad scenes in a film. So, music can really help create the right mood for the occasion.
Music can also motıvate us. Some people like to listen to fast-paced music, like rock or dance music, when they want to feel excited. It’s a great way to stay motivated during exercise. In contrast, soft classical music can help us feel focused. Many people listen to this kind of music when they need to concentrate.
Music also helps people manage their emotions. Both upbeat and slow music can help people feel more positive when they are stressed. A lively song can lift their spirits, while a gentle melody can calm them.
Perhaps one of the most fun things about music is that it brings people together. Not only can it be enjoyed alone, but also shared with others during events. Many people love going to large music concerts and find that enjoying their favourite music with other people is a wonderful experience.

Move to the music
Music helps us exercise, but why does it have this effect? Scientists say there are two main reasons.
The first is simple: music distracts (使……分心) us. ____36____ After we exercise for 20 minutes, for example, our body may be tired. But because of the music, we may not feel this right away. As result, we will exercise a little longer.
____37____ When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat. An upbeat song also makes us feel happier. This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer.
____38____ In an experiment, Fritz put 61 people in small groups. Then, they all exercised twice. The first time, each group worked out for six minutes while listening to music. The second time, they exercised for six minutes on special Jymmin machines. On these machines, each group made music as they moved. ____39____ .
How does Fritz explain this? Maybe people did better on the Jymmin machines because they had more control, he says. People created the beat. They could make it go faster or slower. Also, each group was making music together and having fun. ____40____ For example, it may even be a good way to treat depression.
A. Music can also motivate (激发) us.
B. We often give up exercising because of tiredness.
C. Scientists have proved these two points through an experiment.
D. When we listen to a song we like, our brain pays attention to the music.
E. In the future, Fritz wants to find out if Jymmin exercise can help with some illnesses.
F. However, according to a new study by scientist Tom Fritz, this is only part of the explanation.
G. In the end, 53 of the 61 people said the same thing: they felt less tired when they exercised on the Jymmin machines.

In the mood for music
Music has a strong impact on how people feel. Different types of music can make us feel different emotions. For example, when someone listens to happy music, they may feel joyful and full of energy. This creates a great atmosphere for a party and helps people enjoy themselves. On the other hand, slow or sad music can make people feel emotional. Film makers will often use this kind of music during sad scenes in a film. So, music can really help create the right mood for the occasion.
Music can also motıvate us. Some people like to listen to fast-paced music, like rock or dance music, when they want to feel excited. It’s a great way to stay motivated during exercise. In contrast, soft classical music can help us feel focused. Many people listen to this kind of music when they need to concentrate.
Music also helps people manage their emotions. Both upbeat and slow music can help people feel more positive when they are stressed. A lively song can lift their spirits, while a gentle melody can calm them.
Perhaps one of the most fun things about music is that it brings people together. Not only can it be enjoyed alone, but also shared with others during events. Many people love going to large music concerts and find that enjoying their favourite music with other people is a wonderful experience.
A. Find these words in the text. Get their meanings and use them to complete the sentences.
