Ⅲ．阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共20分）
Hospitals employ many therapeutic (治疗的) methods, such as medication (药物), massage (按摩) therapy and music therapy. And music therapy is growing in popularity.
Sandra Siedliecki is a Senior Scientist at the Nursing Institute of Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. She says music is a low-cost treatment. And she says scientists have done a lot of research on music’s effect on pain. Dr. Marian Good did a lot of studies looking at surgery (外科) patients and the use of music. In her studies, patients just listened to relaxing music. Dr. Good found that her surgery patients took fewer painkillers after they listened to music. Music had a good effect on short-term pain. However, chronic pain, the kind that recurs (复发) continually, changed a little under the effect of music.
Dr. Linda Chlan was studying something different. She was not interested in patients’pain, but instead, their anxiety. She spent a lot of time with people who were in the hospital because their anxiety was so great that they couldn’t breathe. People with this condition often have to use breathing machines. Dr. Chlan said that the machines sometimes did little to improve their condition. Sometimes they even made things worse. The patients would become more anxious. Dr. Chlan let nurses tell patients that music was a good choice to make them feel better. They also placed signs near the patients’ beds — Listen to your music at least twice a day. The people who listened to music had a reduction (减少) in the amount of medication they received. In addition, their anxiety reduced by about 36 percent.
Both doctors had similar explanations for why music was so helpful. Music can be a very powerful distractor (使分心的事物) in the brain when we’ re listening to music that is pleasing and then it interrupts stressful thoughts.
26. Dr. Marian Good’s studies show that music therapy _______.
A. can help patients recover fast
B. cannot take the place of medication
C. doesn’t work well on all patients
D. is cheaper than massage therapy and medication
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Dr. Good and Dr. Chlan didn’t agree with each other on music’s effect.
B. Patients will forget their illnesses completely while listening to music.
C. Patients with great anxiety would not recover after taking medicine.
D. Listening to enjoyable music is a good way to relieve anxiety.
28. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To show that music therapy is useful.
B. To encourage all patients to listen to music.
C. To tell how to reduce pain and anxiety.
D. To explain how music reduces pain and anxiety.

The Beatles were described as a British invasion (入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time.
