Researchers said that since stress comes as a result of some events in life such as starting a new family,starting a new business and starting a new job,one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches humans in a positive way.Music helps you forget these events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life. Depression(抑郁症) is a disease caused by stress,smoking,social problems,etc.Depression is also caused by difficulties such as failure in business.Depression may bring us weakness,headaches and loss of concentration.Good music makes one remember happy moments or days.If you play music about love,it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences.And such good feelings make you healthy. Anxiety is another health problem that can be controlled by music.Anxiety is one of the side effects of some major health problems such as liver cancer and breast cancer.Good music makes you feel relaxed and relieves the pain caused by these diseases and you will feel better.Good music also makes you sleep better,and you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition.Good sleep takes away the effects of stress,depression and anxiety from a person. 1.What do you know about music according to the famous person in paragraph 1? A.Music can treat many kinds of diseases. B.Music can help you keep mentally healthy. C.Music can take the place of medicine in treating illness. D.Music can make you remember things that happened in the past. 2.How does good music help people remove stress? A.By letting people have a good sleep. B.By making people think positively. C.By showing something new to people. D.By making people focus only on important things. 3.According to the passage,what will one who has cancer most probably experience? A.Stress.　　 B.Depression. C.Anxiety. D.Upset. 4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A.The benefits of listening to music to health B.Stress can bring us many kinds of diseases C.Some diseases have something to do with music D.Tips for us to live a healthy and comfortable life B (2025浙江温州高一期中) There has been a battle raging in my living room—a deep-rooted standoff that began when I was a child of about nine.That is the age I was when my parents purchased a second-hand piano to support my continuing musical training. Some may characterize it as a love-hate relationship,even though I believe the bond between us is more than that.Of course,on the “hate” side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing,the forced performances for relatives,the trimmed fingernails and the responsibility I had to shoulder,as my family sacrificed a lot for me to have piano lessons,because I had talent.My teachers said so and,truthfully,my heart said so,too.But all too often it felt like a burden. There was also love on that piano bench.There were times when I could feel the music ring through me.I could feel it vibrate through my fingers.The connection between two people when performing a duet was beautiful.When my music landed on my audience it made me want to play forever. But my musical talent did not survive my teenage years.It was no competition for the freedom I sought and eventually fought for.When I had a home of my own,the piano mostly sat unloved or at least unused,feeling fingers on the keys only during Christmas and when my own children took piano lessons. I know every inch of this piano.I spent years of my life in front of this piano.Awaiting my free will to ripen enough to release me from lessons.Awaiting my life to begin.Awaiting my mother to leave the room so I could secretly read my book while practicing scales. It feels like I am giving away the family pet.So here I sit playing my last tune before the movers take the piano away and surprisingly there lies a growing desire for something else.It is time to clear the air to let in a different melody.Time to say,“Thank you for being part of my life.” Take a bow and leave the stage...with one final note rising up alongside the dust in a sunbeam. 5.What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?

B.Many instruments have been produced with a 3D printer before. C.Indeed,even basic violins for students often cost $1000 or more. D.Most students have to give up learning the instrument due to the high cost. E.3D-printed violins have been popular with beginners since they were invented. F.Besides,the AVIVA violin is less damaged than its traditional wooden cousins. G.The project is also to get violins to children that couldn’t otherwise afford them.

One afternoon,the schoolmaster called me into his office.He said with a smile,“Nancie,could you write a poem for the festival and read it during the coming event?” “Sure!” Excitedly,I had loved poetry since my fifth grade.I was fascinated by poems for it is an amazing thing to convey feelings through them.When my first poem was published,I was known to my friends and teachers as the class poet. I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon,feeling quite happy.Then for weeks,I worked for my poem,carefully designing the content,structure and sound.I practiced reciting it aloud every day. When the evening for the event finally came,I was ready.Well,I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall.How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people?I was just a seventh-grader!No one would take my work seriously.What was worse,I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before.I sat in my chair,hoping I could disappear.Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read. “Hey,Nancie,I saw your name in the program.Good luck!” my little brother’s voice rose as he took his seat a few rows down with his class.I nodded,struggling to keep calm.I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall.Before long,the lights faded,the crowd quieted,and the schoolmaster took the stage to introduce the list of the shows.Mine was at the end of the list.So I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety. It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher brought me downstairs next to the stage.My mind was blank.Then suddenly,I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience.When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage,I somehow tripped over something.And I stupidly fell down.All of the kids burst into laughter. 注意:

We are truly looking forward to this incredible opportunity to share our music with a global audience.Looking forward to your response. Yours, Li Hua  Ⅷ. I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me.He joked I fell due to my eagerness to bow to the audience.His humor helped remove the embarrassment.Then he motivated the audience to give me encouragement.Feeling less nervous,I took the microphone and cleared my voice before reading the title.Surprisingly,my voice sounded clear and loud.The hall silenced.I continued reading,with words coming out in the right order and lines flowing together appropriately.  When I finished my reading,the hall was silent at first.I swallowed hard.Maybe no one loved my poem.Then out of the silence there was clapping and cheering.I dared to look for my parents in the sea of faces,and found my mother wiping away tears and my father smiling.With a light-headed feeling and a happy smile,I bowed slightly and walked off the stage.I greeted each person I met when going back to my seat,with relief and gratefulness spreading warmly through my body.  知识积累卡 一、1.使沮丧　沮丧的　沮丧,抑郁　2.焦虑的　焦虑　焦虑地　3.购买　4.使沮丧　沮丧的　令人沮丧的　5.负责的　责任 二、1.承担　肩膀　2.回响　给……打电话 三、1.健康状况　2.对……日益增长的渴望　3.使音乐教育变得可接近　4.在教育领域 四、1.有时候,我能感觉到音乐在我耳边回响。 2.这可能会使许多人很难接触到这种乐器,尤其是初学者和在音乐教室里。 五、1.如果你演奏爱的旋律,你会再次坠入爱河,即使曾经情路坎坷。 2.当然,在“讨厌”的一面,我花费了许多令人沮丧的时间来练习,被迫为亲戚们表演,修剪指甲,以及我必须承担的责任,因为我的家人为了让我上钢琴课牺牲了很多,因为我有天赋。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
