24、If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have bad head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节奏).
“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart 's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
【1】What does the underlined word “enhance” probably mean? ________.
A.Produce.

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

【3】It can be learned from the last paragraph that _______.
A.you are supposed to follow your parents' words
B.you have some good reasons about music and exercising
C.good marks depend on listening to music and exercising
D.exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests
【4】The text mainly tells us that _______.
A.music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep
B.33 volunteers work on music in medical fields
C.exercising to music makes people healthy and bright
D.scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise
25、“Hi! How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat next to me on the airplane, She had to lower herself slowly, trying hard to push her fat body into the seat, filling all available space.
I didn’t reply and moved a little towards the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.
“Hi!” I replied.
“My name is Laura. I'm from Britain. How about you?” she talked excitedly. “Malaysia.” I said coldly.
Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “I don't want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity(真诚).
To my surprise, the face that I had disliked hours before slowly showed a nice smile -- lively and calm at the same time. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.
Laura was interesting. During our conversation, Laura managed to make every person on the plane who served us walk away laughing at her jokes.
I asked Laura, “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You aren't worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?” “Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. I’m this size because I was born to be big! There is more to life than worrying about weight all day long.”
She drank her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it! If I lose weight, I'll lose my happiness.”
Surprised by her unusual reasoning, I smiled. 1 suddenly realized that Laura was the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life.

27、Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job and pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions. What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power (the money you can make).
For example, the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you don’t finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school.
If you stay in school, then you can make more money. Let's look at the example again. A person with a high school degree makes about $ 18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor's degree, he can make $42,000. With a master’ s degree, he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a doctor's degree, he can make almost $ 79,000 or more a year.
We can learn a very important thing from this information. If you want to work and make more money, get a good education.
