三、阅读理解
Most students in America like popular music. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play music loudly as they drive on the road.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to news about sports, the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are about music.
Popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once a popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will buy his or her CDs or tapes. Some of the money from them goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, most of the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music which tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music.

But some people didn't believe that a little boy could write such beautiful music. They asked him to stay in a room all by himself for a week and somebody watched the room all the time. In a week, he finished a new piece of music. After that, people believed that he could write beautiful music.
Mozart died when he was still a young man. During his short life he studied music and taught music and played music and wrote music. Even by working so hard, he couldn’t make much money. He often borrowed money from his friends. But his music made himself happy and for more than two hundred years his music has made other people happy, too.

Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes： 16 Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. 17 The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
18 Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦 乐队） When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风）patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.19 Why does this work Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration (注意力），memory， listening skills, and our overall language abilities.20 Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, but ifs also good for us in many other ways.
A.It can even help sick people get better. B . Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. C. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. D. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. E. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.

Our school asks us to spend three hours on self-reading every day in the summer vacation. However, opinions are divided on what to read.
Some think we should choose the full-length reading, such as works of literature and scientific books. Because they can help develop our reading habits. Others think that we should read practical essays, such as social news and knowledge about life. Because they can help us learn more about the world. At the same time, we will find life interesting for us through reading them.
In my opinion, I would like to choose practical essays. On the one hand, they can help us deal with our life problems. On the other hand, social news can let us know what happens every day around the world.
