For people who suffer from many different mental or social problems, there are treatments that range from direct medication to all kinds of therapies(治疗)aimed at improving their state of mind. Music therapy, helping people through their responses to music, is one of the most enduring and successful of these treatments.
Music therapy is mostly used to help people with psychological problems. I is used when patients suffer front depression. when patients have difficulties socializing properly, and for children with educational or behavioral problems. It is also used alongside conventional medicine to help motivate patients suffering from severe physical problems.
Essentially, music therapy can be divided into three different kinds. The simplest is where patients listen to a piece of music while they are performing another task that they would normally find difficult. Examples include children with learning disabilities or stroke victims performing painful exercises with music on in the background. Alternatively, discussions about music compositions are used to explore difficult personal topics by therapists that use their patients' responses to music.
The other two kinds of music therapy are more directly interactive. In the first, therapists use their musical skills to develop the musical ideas their patients come up with about particular themes. In the second, therapists are teachers while the patients experiment directly with music or some kind of sound making.
Remarkably. all three of these techniques are extremely effective. Many studies report significantly improved healing in sufferers of serious diseases when treatment is combined with music therapy. Although no one is sure why, it seems that music is a universal cure.
4.Which of the following is NOT a problem that can be helped by music therapy?
A. Depression. B. Stroke.
C. Behavioral problems. D. Heart disease.
5. What is an example of conventional medicine?
A. Drug therapy. B. Music therapy.
C. Color therapy. D. Art therapy.
6. From the passage, we can infer that music therapists ___.
A must be medical experts
B. have to take courses in medical therapy
C. must have a wide range of musical skills
D. are able to offer a complete course of treatment
7. How does the passage show that music is a cure for many problems?
A. By giving case studies of individual patients.
B. By quoting philosophers who believe music is a cure.
C. By explaining exactly how music improves health
D. By giving examples of research that show its effectiveness.

Are you familiar with the idiom "the Sword of Damocles"? It is a Greek legend, showing
the dangers of being in a position of power. It is a reminder that power comes with many dan gers attached According to legend, Damocles was an attendant in the palace of Dionysius, a tyrant（暴君） of Syracuse in the 4th century BC. King Dionysius ruled with an iron fist on the citizens. His cruelty was known far and wide in the kingdom. His palace was great in splendor （壮丽）. He was surrounded with servants at his command. Living a luxurious life, he was considered by people of his time the luckiest man on earth
Naturally, there were many in Syracuse who envied Dionysius's good fortune. Damocles was one of these. Seized by the splendor of the palace and the extravagance（奢华） of the court so much Damocles desired to live like a king, even just for a day. One day when Damo- cles praised the tyrant on his abundance and power, Dionysius turned to Damocles and said,
"If you think I'm so lucky, how would you like to try out my life? " Oh, I would never dream of that," said Damocles. "But if I could only have your riches and your pleasures for one day, I should never want any greater happiness. So Dionysius ordered everything to be prepared for Damocles to experience what Dionysius's life was like. Damocles was enjoying himself immensely until he noticed a sharp sword hanging over his head, suspended from the ceiling by a horse hair.
The sharp blade of the sword shone brightly as it pointed right between his eyes. He started to jump up and run, but stopped himself, frightened that any sudden move might break the thin thread and bring the sword down. He sat frozen to his chair. At that very mo- ment , Damocles understood how great men and kings and tyrants were in constant threat of death in spite of their power and wealth Alarmed, Damocles asked to be excused He eagerly returned to his poorer ,but safer life.
8.Which of the following can best describe the life of King Dionysius?

D. Lacking and threatening.
9."The Sword of Damocles" may refer to ___'
A the cruelty of a tyrant B. the arms of the citizens
C. the threat that a leader may face D. the enemy of a leader
10. We can infer that ______.
A. being a tyrant brings about neither wealth nor safety
B. Damocles was much wealthier and more aggressive than Dionysius
C. an unwise decision of a leader may bring about his loss of power
D. a tyrant can enjoy his life at the sacrifice of the well-being of his people
11 . We can learn from the passage that Damocles

B. devoted his whole life to realizing the dream of being a tyrant
C. was determined to rule this country regardless of any threat or danger
D. admired Dionysius and desired to live an extravagant life as Dionysius

One million US dollars is quite a bit of money. You could buy a large house, a fancy car and two kids to Ivy League universities for four years each with that kind of money. Now imagine having l,000 times as much as that figure. You would then be a billionaire. There are hundreds of billionaires in the United States, and more than 50 0f them have signed the Pledge(承诺）

Many of the signatories (签署者) of the Giving Pledge have already donated billions of dollars to their favorite charities in the arts, humanities, and conversation over the Years.
though the campaign was at first limited to citizens of the United States, efforts have recently been made to enlarge membership in other countries. Many of the super-rich have associates, contacts and friends in the world of international business. Buffer in Particular has been meeting with billionaires in China and India to advertise the idea of the Giving Pledge After all, how many houses can you live in ,how many cars can you drive and how many children do you need to send to expensive first-class universities ?The best news is that you don't need to be a billionaire to be charitable because giving always feels better than receiving
