Why is dancing so helpful?Dancing,moving the body to different kinds of music,helps the body produce more endorphin（内啡肽)，a chemical（化学物质)that makes people feel relaxed and happy.. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up,mixing them together has a stronger effect.In a study,German scientists tested some patients under three conditions:dancing to music,only listening to mu- sic,and riding bikes without music.The results showed that the dancing group felt the least sad.This tells us that dancing is more than just moving around-it truly lifts our spirits. Dancing can also bring people closer.Social dances like tango and Latin need us to move with others,which improves our sense of social connection according to IBSA,a Swiss scientific organization.Through eye con- tact,people feel more trust and closeness. A Studies show that depression (often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future.Dancing helps people focus on the present,connect with their bodies,and free their minds for a while,as reported by Psych Central,a mental health news website.When we dance,we stop overthinking and start feeling. This makes it an excellent way to enjoy the present moment without even trying. Lauren Helper,an American social worker,says dancing is a helpful way to reduce stress.It can be any form -whether it's moving alone around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends."The most important thing is that the movement is fun.You don't need to be a perfect dancer.Just turn on some music,move your body,and enjoy the moment.That's the real magic of dance."she told Psych Central. ()26.(2)What can help you the most when you are sad according to the study? A.Attending a concert. B.Talking to a fricnd. C.Dancing to music. D.Riding a bike. ()27.(2)Why do people take up dancing after work? A.To kill time. B.To learn new skills C.To make more friends. D.To fight against bad feelings )28.(2)Which sentence can be put in the "A in the fifth paragraph? A.But dancing is not only good for our body. B.Dancing can also help people forget their problems C.Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. D.But dancing is not the only way to feel better. 29.(2)What is the correct structure of the passage? 第4页，共8页 @ @@ A. @@西 B @®⑤® © @®®⑧@⑤ @ D. © 包@⑧@⑤6 ()30.(2)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
