“If music is the medicine of the soul， let it play on，” said a famous person. I think he said so probably because he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.
The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family， starting a new business， and starting a new job， one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.
Depression （抑郁） is a disease caused by stress， smoking， social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us weakness， headaches， and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love， it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feeling makes you healthy.
Anxiety is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as liver cancer and breast cancer. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.
Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress， depression and anxiety from a person.

All of America’s popular music—jazz， country， rock and roll， and hip hop—develops from the Delta blues. Its words gave voice to the lives of workers in the fields of the Deep South， who were deeply affected by slavery （奴隶制度）. The blues may be concerned with sadness， but singing it is an act of defiance， not despair （绝望）. The blues reminds us of our weak points while encouraging us to see how far we can actually go.
We can still almost touch the origin of this art form. Looking back on the journey the blues took north up the Mississippi River—when African Americans left the South in search of new jobs—photographer Gail Mooney traveled from Chicago clubs down to the Delta to get the stories of blues men and blues women. They are still here today to attach us to the music’s early days.
“In our conversations， we talked so much more about other things than their music，” says Mooney， whose exhibition on the blues has just begun a US tour this spring. “We talked about their childhoods， their cultural origin， and a time in America when people moved to live in large cities. I would listen， and sometimes I would get a feeling.”
These photos show some of the musicians who worked and studied with blues pioneers—drummer Sam Carr was the son of Robert Nighthawk， while Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith played together with Muddy Waters.
Already， this generation is leaving us： Little Milton， guitarist and vocalist， and Robert “Junior” Lockwood （who learned from Robert Johnson， the greatest blues man of all） have passed away since Mooney began her project. However， they left many valuable things to us. Turn on your radio and some little piece of the Delta gets passed down again.
5. What can we learn about the blues from Paragraph 1？
A. It was created by workers.
B. It aims to express sad feelings.
C. It described the lives of workers.
D. It contains many kinds of music.
6. Why did Mooney travel from Chicago clubs down to the Delta？
A. To learn to play the blues.
B. To visit some old musicians.
C. To find the origin of the blues.
D. To learn about different cultures.
7. What can we learn from Mooney’s words？
A. The blues is very popular.
B. The blues has a wonderful history.
C. Blues men and women like living in large cities.
D. Blues men and women like their lives more than music.
8. What can we learn about the blues pioneers from the text？
A. They enjoyed their childhoods.
B. They were good at telling stories.
C. They left us many valuable things.
D. They once left the South in search of jobs.

It may seem strange to say that， but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience. Most people are musically illiterate （了解不多的） simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music. Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra. They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films. But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world. To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the sound—it is like a big wave. It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with.
My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.
My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was born， her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her， my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.
Because I lost my father when I was very young， I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man， always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited （继承） something of that from him. Fortunately， I inherited far more of my mother’s happiness—a real show business personality （性格）.

A. They are not interested in music.
B. They don’t listen to music very often.

D. They have no chance to listen to well-played music.
5. What does the author think of hearing a symphony orchestra on stage？
A. It makes him want to get on stage one day.
B. It makes him feel like getting stuck in a big wave.
C. It can create a similar feeling as watching powerful ads.
D. It is very different from hearing orchestra music in films.
6. What can we learn about the author as a baby？
A. He helped his mother a lot.
B. He learned music from his mother.
C. He went to his mother’s workplace.

It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.
To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture， it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart， until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormy and J. Hus led this year’s Mob—“music of black origin”—award nominations （提名） in the UK.
Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop， from which grime drew influence， it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop， grime singers sing in dialects （方言） with strong accents， giving a special flavor to their songs.
Lady Leshurr， known as the “Grime Queen”， said that she once tried to hide her accent， as she didn’t want people to judge （评价） her. But one day， she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music： be yourself.
Also different from the hip-hop culture， which usually focuses on being rich， grime singers pay more attention to social matters like the European refugee （难民） problem and the gap between the rich and poor.
Although still quite a young music type， grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016， the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa， beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However， no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not， one thing is for sure： in grime， singers always stay true to themselves.
1. What do hip-hop and grime music have in common？
A. They are invented in the UK.
B. They make a lot of loud noise.
C. They are full of creative ideas.
D. They challenge traditional cultures.
2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A. Electronic music. B. Hip-hop.
C. Grime music. D. Black music.
3. What can we learn about grime singers？
A. They care too much about themselves.
B. They tend to take social responsibility.
C. They refuse to be judged by others.
D. They show strong independence.
4. What does Skepta’s success suggest？
A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.
B. Singers should not try to be themselves.
C. Grime will become mainstream music.
D. It is hard to win the Mercury Prize.
