Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don’t know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take an interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
【文章大意】孩子们接触音乐对他们很有好处, 父母应该多让孩子接触音乐。
1. By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show 　　　.  
A. why adults should listen to music

【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段的“Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. ”可知, 作者是为了表明听音乐对成人有益, 也就是为什么成人应该听音乐。
2. What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Harms. 　　　　　　 B. Changes.
C. Improves. D. Shows.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better. ”可知, 画线词所在的句子是指“太多压力会‘损害’孩子的健康”。
3. The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means 　　　.  
A. learning languages better
B. understanding foreign cultures better
C. accepting the fast developing world easily
D. showing greater interest in other cultures
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures. ”可知, 听音乐可以帮助他们更好地理解外国的文化。
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why do Children Love Music?
B. How to Choose Music for Children

It was May 23, 2016. Arnot, the 32-year-old mountain guide, reached the top of Everest without the use of oxygen (O2) equipment. It was achieved after seven years, three previous attempts, and fourteen straight hours of climbing.
After 15 minutes at the top, Arnot began her descent (下坡). Eight hours later, she reached the camp at 7, 600 meters and became the first American woman—and only the seventh woman ever—to successfully reach Mount Everest without oxygen equipment.
“There are so many reasons for her impressive achievement, especially the physical and emotional efforts that she’s put forth over the years to make this happen, ” says the professional climber and photographer Richards, “The mental courage that it requires is something very few people have. ”
Arnot didn’t start climbing until she was 19 years old. Money was tight in her family, and climbing mountains never occurred in her mind. After graduating from college, Arnot was invited by her friend to climb a mountain. “It totally changed my life, ”says Arnot. “I always know that if you want something, you can achieve it, but knowing what you want is a whole different thing, ” she says. “I am athletic but not competitive. After my first climbing, I knew immediately that mountains are what I want—as that is where I felt home for the first time in my life. ”
After that first climb, she devoted herself to learning how to climb and move through mountain. It was during her second trip to Everest in 2009 that she first set her sights on a no-oxygen attempt. However, while hiking into Everest Base Camp that year, she hurt her leg and wasn’t able to climb without oxygen. In 2013 she nearly made it to the top, but was forced to take oxygen at 8, 504 meters while helping another climber.
When Arnot finally stood atop Everest, she called her best friend, “I reached the top and I’m not using any oxygen. ” Then, tears began to stream down from her eyes. So much of Arnot’s life has been about pushing the limits of her abilities, and in this case, she’s also pushed up against the outer limits of the human spirit.

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.
　1　 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.  
“I adore dancing, ” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life. ” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dancing is wonderful. 　2　 It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life. ” 
　3　“I can tell you about one young couple, ” says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 　4　” 
So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, “Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. 　5　 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive. ”  
A. So why do we dance?
B. Dance in the U. S. is everywhere.
C. If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.
D. My older students say it makes them feel young.
E. I keep practicing even when I’m extremely tired.
F. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.
G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.
