It brings two problems—you don’t get enough sleep and the quality (质量) of the sleep is bad, too. If you don’t get good rest, you won’t do well in school the next day.” The survey found that 40 percent of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst.

About 70 years ago, doctors and nurses found that playing music in hospitals helped sick soldiers feel better. People used music to help kids in schools get better marks because it helped them to relax and pay more attention. Now a special program called Music Therapy (治疗) helps people in many different ways by using music, such as listening to music, playing instruments, singing, and playing music games. Sophia is eleven. She got very sick five months ago, but music is a part of her life now. It seems that a few minutes of music a day can help keep the doctor away! 46.

A famous musician once said music could change the world! In fact in Australia, a scientist, Catherine, has made a music program that puts smiles on the faces of kids in hospitals. “It can make you happy, it can make you want to get up and dance, and it can make you feel good,” said Catherine. For thousands of years, people believe that music has a great effect (影响) on both the mind and the body. About 70 years ago, doctors and nurses found that playing music in hospitals helped sick soldiers feel better. People used music to help kids in schools get better marks because it helped them to relax and pay more attention. Now a special program called Music Therapy (治疗) helps people in many different ways by using music, such as listening to music, playing instruments, singing, and playing music games. Sophia is eleven. She got very sick five months ago, but music is a part of her life now. It seems that a few minutes of music a day can help keep the doctor away! 46. Where does Catherine come from? ___________________________________________ 47. What do people believe for thousands of years? ___________________________________________ 48. Why could music help kids get better marks? ___________________________________________ 49. How does Music Therapy help people? ___________________________________________ 50.
