    “If music is the medicine of the soul(灵魂), let it play on,” said a famous person. I think he said so because probably he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.
    The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events 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 the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.
    Depression(抑郁) is a disease cause by stress, smoking, social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us weakness, headache, and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good 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 feeling make you healthy.
    Anxiety(焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.
    Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.

    As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
    Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
    The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
    46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
    A. they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
    B. they believe that work is superior to relaxation
    C. they are traveling fast all the time
    D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
    47. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
    A. strong will to hold out stress
    B. knowing the art of relaxation
    C. high sense of responsibility
    D. having control over performance
    48. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
    A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
    B. Stress is always harmful to people's health
    C. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
    D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.
    49. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.
    A. "expose ourselves to stress"
    B. "find ways to deal with stress"
    C. "remove stress from our lives"
    D. "establish links between diseases and stress"
    50. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.
    A. to avoid it                 B. to try to cope with it
    C. to regard it as a vital motivation      D. to find some relaxation

    Now Hear This
    What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'? Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.
    Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.
    "What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead," says physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged." And this is no small problem.
    What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Here's another measurement you can use. If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you' re at risk for hearing loss. That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.
    The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume.'? Most aren't. "Rock music is supposed to be loud," says drummer Andrew Sather.  "I wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. "
    Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. "
    Levels of Common Noises
    Normal conversation                           50 — 65 dB
    Food blender                                  88 dB
    Jet plane flying above a person standing outside      103 dB
    Rock band during a concert                      110 — 140 dB
    小题1:From Paragraph 1, we can learn that                   .
    A．loud music is a major cause of hearing loss
    B．famous people tend to have hearing problems
    C．teenagers should stay away from school bands
    D．the problem of hearing damage is widely known
    小题2:In Paragraph 3, the underlined word "recondition" means                .
    A．not to be seenB．to fill with sound
    C．to become larger in sizeD．to make good again
    小题3:The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show                   .
    A．a list of harmful sounds
    B．the effect of rock concerts
    C．the noise levels of familiar sounds
    D．relationship between daily activities and hearing loss
    小题4:Which of the following statements will Dr. Sam Levine probably agree?
    A．When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead.
    B．Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.
    C．Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.
    D．Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

    Every year, people in Britain catch the flu virus and some of those who are already ill, or are very young, may die. It is very sad, but modern treatment means that many deaths can be avoided.
    Experts tell us that the world is another flu epidemic(流行)and that the latest bird-flu virus would be the most likely cause. Humans can catch the disease only after closely contacting with a sick bird. However, if someone who had normal flu was to come into contact with bird flu, this could be very dangerous.

    C.O.P.D(慢性障碍性肺病) blocks air flow through the lungs. It makes breathing difficult. The leading cause of C.O.P.D. is cigarette smoking. Experts at the National Institutes of Health in the United States say there is no cure to the damage to the lungs.
    Dawn Demeo is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She said, “By 2020, C.O.P.D. may be the third leading cause of death across the world.”
    C.O.P.D. is a new name for emphysema（肺气肿） and chronic bronchitis（慢性支气管炎）. These are the two most common forms of the disease. Many people with C.O.P.D. have both of them. And Doctor Demeo says more women than men now die from the disease.
    She is the lead author of a study by a team from Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the University of Bergen in Norway. The new study adds to findings that women may be more at risk than men from the damaging effects of smoking.
    The team examined results from a Norwegian study of 954 people with C.O.P.D. Inga-Cecilie Soerheim co-wrote the team’s findings. Doctor Soerheim says they show that women suffered the same level of C.O.P.D.as men. But the female smokers were younger and had smoked a lot less.
    The team also looked at two groups among the people in the study. These were people under the age of 60 and those who had smoked for less than 20 years. In both cases, women had more serious C.O.P.D. and a greater loss of lung function (功能）than men.
    小题1:Which of the following statements about C.O.P.D is NOT true ______.
    A. Cigarette smoking is likely to cause C.O.P.D.
    B. C.O.P.D. makes it hard for a person to breathe
    C. C.O.P.D will be one of the most life-threatening diseases.
    D. Many people with C.O.P.D. have either emphysema or chronic bronchitis.
    小题2:It can be known from the study that_____.
    A. female smokers die faster than male ones.  
    B. women are more likely to suffer from the damaging effects of smoking than men.
    C. women who suffer the same level of C.O.P.D as men were older and weaker.
    D. in the group of people under the age of 60, men suffered more from C.O.P.D than women.
    小题3:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A .Smoking Kills
    B. Smoking Triggers Diseases
    C. The Leading Causes of C.O.P.D.
    D. Women Suffers More from C.O.P.D. than Men

    People who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per night in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged eight hours or more, a new study found.
    Researchers used frequent telephone interviews to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the last few weeks. Then they exposed the subjects to the virus, quarantined (检疫隔离) them for five days and kept track of who got sick.
    Besides sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to help the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure known as “sleep efficiency”—the percentage of time in bed that you’re actually sleeping—were also less likely to get sick.
    The results held true even after researchers adjusted for elements such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies (抗体) to the virus.
    The researchers aren’t exactly sure why sleeping better makes you less likely to develop a cold. But they do try to give an answer: “Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of symptom mediators (调节因子) that are released in response to infection.” In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you’re infected with the cold virus contributes to the symptoms that define a cold.
    The researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
    小题1: According to the passage, what does the underlined word “subjects” mean in paragraph 2?
    A．areas of knowledge in a school
    B．people being studied in an experiment
    C．research topics
    D．animals being tested
    小题2:It is shown in the passage that _______.
    A．the researchers obtain information about the sleep habits by frequent interviews
    B．the researchers do their research in the National Institutes of Health
    C．people hope to avoid being infected with a cold by sleeping as much as possible
    D．sleeping more and better helps regulate the symptom mediators
    小题3:What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．The Relationship Between Virus and Cold
    B．How to Sleep Well
    C．Good Sleep Helps Fight a Cold
    D．The More the Sleep, the Better Your Body

    Dieters' who eat meals high in protein might lose a bit more weight than those who get less protein and more carbohydrates (碳水化合物)一all other things being equal, a new analysis of past studies suggests. Researchers found that over an average of 12 weeks, people having a high一protein diet lost about 1.8 extra pounds, and more body fat, than those having a standard-protein diet.
    Wycherley from the University of South" Australia in Adelaide, the lead author on the study says it’s possible that the body may spend more energy and bum more calories while dealing with protein, compared to carbohydrates. Another explanation for the link his team observed is that eating protein helps preserve muscle mass and muscle mass bums more calories, even when the body is resting, than other types of mass. He says people in the studies tend to get protein from a variety of animal and vegetable sources. Vegetable sources of protein include beans.
    It is not obvious why a higher protein-to-carbohydrate ratio might help people lose more pounds——and one obesity researcher not involved in the new analysis questioned whether the trials were strong enough to make that conclusion. “The studies are generally far too short to tell effect,” Dr. James Levine from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, told Reuters Health in an e-mail. But given the limitations of the present evidence, Levine said, “It makes no real difference which of the weight-loss ways one chooses.”
    小题1:According to Wycherley’s analysis, dieters should take in more ______.
    A．fatB．carbohydratesC．proteinD．calories
    小题2:What can we learn from the studies?
    A．It bums more calories to deal with carbohydrates.
    B．Protein helps keep muscle mass which bums calories.
    C．Vegetables contain more protein than animals.
    D．No more calories are burned while the body is resting.
    小题3:What is Levine’s attitude towards the conclusion of the studies?
    A．Doubtful.B．Supportive.C．Curious.D．Agreeable.
