A
If
you
ever
have
the
desire
to
break
out
into
song—in
the
shower,
in
the
car,
maybe
at
your
neighbor's
karaoke
night—you
should
embrace
it
whole?heartedly.
This
ancient
art
can
not
only
make
you
feel
good,
it
can
also
improve
your
well?being,
reduce
your
feelings
of
pain,
and
even
extend
your
life.
Using
your
voice
to
sing,
rather
than
simply
carry
out
a
conversation,
offers
unique
benefits
because
singing
affects
our
bodies.
Also,
studies
link
singing
with
a
lower
heart
rate,
decreased
blood
pressure
and
reduced
stress
according
to
Patricia
Preston
Roberts,
a
music
therapist
(治疗专家)．(__1__)
Singing,
particularly
in
a
group,
seems
to
benefit
the
elderly
particularly
well.
As
part
of
a
three?year
study
examining
how
singing
affects
the
health
of
those
aged
fifty?five
and
older,
a
Senior
Singers
Chorus
was
formed
by
the
Levine
School
of
Music
in
Washington.D.C.
The
seniors
involved
in
the
chorus,
as
well
as
seniors
in
two
separate
arts
groups
about
writing
and
painting,
showed
significant
health
improvements
compared
to
those
in
the
control
groups
(对照组).
Obviously,
the
arts
groups
reported
thirty
fewer
doctors'
visit,
fewer
eyesight
problems,
less
depression,
and
less
need
for
medication.
(__2__)
Even
lead
researcher
Dr.
Gene
D.
Coben,
director
of
the
Center
on
Aging
at
George
Washington
University,
was
surprised
at
how
big
an
effect
the
seniors'
arts
participation
had
on
their
health.
Coben
said，“The
average
age
of
all
the
subjects
was
eighty.
This
is
higher
than
life
expectancy.
So,
if
an
effect
were
to
be
achieved,
one
would
ordinarily
expect
to
see
less
decline
compared
to
the
control
group.
The
fact
that
there
was
so
much
improvement
in
many
areas
was
the
surprising
factor.”
(__3__)
The
seniors
also
noticed
health
improvements
and
they
reported
feeling
better
both
in
daily
life
and
while
singing.
The
part
of
the
brain
that
works
with
speech
is
different
from
the
part
that
processes
music.
“People
seem
to
enjoy
doing
something
jointly
with
other
people.
There
are
a
lot
of
facts
that
being
socially
involved
is
good
for
people
with
dementia
(老年痴呆)，”
Ballard
said.
The
arts
are
showing
up
as
a
treatment
tool
in
hospitals
across
the
country.
(__4__)
If
you
are
thinking
of
volunteering,
singing
at
a
hospital
may
be
a
good
choice—not
only
for
the
patients,
but
also
for
yourself.

improvements.

is
the
author's
attitude
towards
arts?

C．Negative.
D．Worried.
3．Where
should
the
following
sentence

I
was
about
5
when
I
first
heard
the
word
“Greenland”，
and
my
interest
grew
from
there.
Finally,
after
decades,
I
decided
to
go.
When
I
finally
arrived,
the
place,
at
first
glance,
was
clearly
misnamed:
The
east
coast
of
Greenland
was
an
expanse
of
ice
and
snow,
with
no
sign
of
human
habitation.
One
of
my
purposes
of
going
to
Greenland
was
to
make
contact
with
some
native
Greenlanders.
I
didn't
know
I
would
achieve
this,
but
success
came
in
an
unexpected
way.
When
I
arrived
at
the
Illunnguujuk
Hotel,
where
I
had
reserved
a
bed，a
young
couple
and
their
baby
were
out
front,
enjoying
the
sun
and
unusual
warmth.
Greenlanders
speak
their
own
Inuit
language
and
learn
Danish
in
school,
and
many
also
speak
English
well.
The
young
woman,
however,
was
not
one
of
these.
Her
English
turned
out
to
be
anticlimactic.
When
I
identified
myself,
her
eyes
widened.
Another
traveler
had
arrived
earlier
and,
mistaking
him
for
me,
they
had
given
him
my
bed.
There
was
no
more
space
in
the
hotel.
“But
don't
worry，”
she
said,
as
she
threw
herself
into
cleaning
a
tiny
house
the
family
owned.
“This
is
for
you，”
she
said.
And
as
if
that
weren't,
enough,
she
invited
me
to
eat
supper
with
her
family.
That
evening
I
sat
down
to
a
dinner
of
fresh
fish
with
a
loving,
happy
native
family.
When
I
first
set
foot
in
Greenland
I
found
myself
all
but
shocked
by
the
emptiness,
the
vastness,
and
the
silence.
I
had
decided
that
I
would
probably
never
return.
And
then
I
was
taken
into
this
Greenlandic
home.
I
can
now
say
that
even
cold,
empty,
and
silent
scenery
is
worth
visiting,
so
long
as
one
has
a
warm
and
welcoming
place
to
go
to.
5．What
may
be
the
author's
original
imagination
about
Greenland?
A．Dense
population.
B．Incredible
silence.
C．Amazing
vastness.
D．Awful
weather.
6．What
does
the
underlined
word
“anticlimactic”
in
Paragraph
4
mean?
A．Simple.
B．Modern.
C．Outstanding.
D．Disappointing.
7．The
author
lost
his
bed
in
the
hotel
because
of
________.
A．the
poor
condition
B．the
high
price
C．a
wrong
address
D．a
misunderstanding
8．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．A
Guidebook
for
Greenland
B．A
Cold
and
Warm
Greenland
C．A
Terrible
Experience
in
a
Hotel
D．A
Childhood
Dream

True

Last
month,
Alex
posted
his
painting
of
a
fox
on
Reddit
hoping
to
raise
money
for
an
animal
rescue
group.
But
when
a
video
of
him
working
on
the
painting
went
viral
with
more
than
44,000
“likes”，
requests
on
social
media
from
people
hoping
to
buy
copies
of
his
work
__1__
in.
His
fans
were
amazed
when
they
watched
him
paint
by
holding
a
brush
in
his
__2__
because
he
had
lost
the
use
of
his
hands.
Drawing
and
painting
always
came
naturally
to
Alex.
When
he
was
a
kid,
he
would
sit
down
to
draw
something
almost
every
day.
It
continued
__3__
high
school
and
college.
He
loved
creating
something
with
his
hands.
But
in
2004,
Alex
__4__
a
rare
disease
that
caused
sensory
(感觉的)
loss
and
weakness.
One
day,
he
suddenly
could
not
use
his
left
hand.
Then
the
problem
spread
quickly
to
his
right
hand.
As
the
pain
and
numbness
__5__
and
more
tests
were
done,
the
physicians
__6__
Alex
had
a
rare
immune
disorder.
__7__，
he
was
no
longer
able
to
draw,
paint
or
play
the
piano.
By
September
2005,
he
had
difficulty
walking,
as
his
legs
and
feet
had
also
weakened.
__8__，
he
needed
a
wheelchair.
He
had
to
quit
his
job
and
move
to
live
with
his
parents.
Alex
didn't
follow
his
artistic
dream
__9__
his
mother
showed
him
some
paintings
created
by
artists
who
also
could
not
use
their
hands
and
arms
in
2015.
He
was
very
__10__
and
then
began
to
teach
himself
to
paint
with
his
mouth
and
to
__11__
the
right
pressure
to
the
canvas
(画布)．
Three
years
ago,
Alex
successfully
had
a
major
transplant
__12__.
The
process
of
recovery
is
challenging
but
steady.
With
supporting
aids
on
both
legs,
he
is
walking
again
without
pain.
Alex
hopes
one
day
he
will
be
able
to
__13__
a
paintbrush
in
his
hand.
If
not,
he
will
continue
to
__14__
his
visions
with
his
mouth.
“I
have
a
lot
to
be
__15__.
I'm
painting
again;
I'm
walking
again.
Life
feels
really
good
for
me
right
now，”
Alex
said.
