24、Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.
I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.
Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较) ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races,and that one day I would be one of those 70yearolds who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.

Many students often choose to listen to music while doing their homework or studying for exams. But is listening to music a smart choice for students who want to improve their learning?
Indeed, music makes life better in so many ways. It elevates(振奋) mood, reduces stress and eases pain. Music is heart-healthy, because it can reduce blood pressure and heart rate. It also connects us with others and deepens social relationships. Music can even enhance our enjoyment of challenging activities.
But the effect of music on cognitive tasks appears not to be “one-size-fits-all”. A new study by Manuel Gonzalez of Baruch College and John Aiello of Rutgers University suggests that for some students, listening to music while learning is a wise strategy, but for others, it is not.
Whether or not listening to music will benefit your mental work depends on your personality—specifically, on your need for external stimulation(外部刺激). People with a high requirement for external stimulation tend to get bored easily. They often do worse when listening to music while engaging in a mental task, while people with a low need for external stimulation, on the other hand, tend to improve their mental performance with music.
Moreover, before students decide to put on their earphones, though, they should carefully consider their musical selection. Complexity(复杂性) of the music seems to promote excitement, and it is suggested that a moderate level of excitement produces ideal performance. When there is too little or too much excitement, performance drops. Thus, the benefits of music for those with a low need for external stimulation could decrease or even disappear with the added complexity of music.
Similarly, the rise in the complexity of a cognitive task might also reduce or wipe out the benefit of music. With a highly challenging cognitive task, even those with a low need for external stimulation may fail to show such an effect with music.
The study brings to our notice that only with the right personality, music and task can the presence of music significantly improve cognitive functioning. So next time when you want to switch on the music before you study, please think twice.
【1】Why is music good for heart health according to the passage?
A.Because it can make links among people.
B.Because it can reduce stress and ease pain.
C.Because it can improve workout staying power.
D.Because it can reduce blood pressure and heart rate.
【2】The underlined word “cognitive” in Paragraph 3 is similar to “ ________________”.
A.mental B.active C.difficult D.important
【3】The author writes this passage to tell students about ____________.
A.the effectiveness of listening to music while studying
B.the disadvantages of listening to music while studying
C.the factors about how music affects their mental performance
D.the methods of how to choose right music to improve their learning
