Why do people listen to music The answer may seem simple: Music is pleasant to make and to hear. But music touches our lives in many other ways, too.
Music changes our moods
My brother doesn't choose music based on what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music with that mood in mind. Upbeat, bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music, too. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder.
Music helps us get things done
Do you ever listen to music while you work I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate. According to one expert, music can help you pay attention to boring or repeated tasks. But when you are doing tasks that require more thought, music can disturb you, making them harder.
My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music to manage her class. When she wants to call a child, instead of yelling the child's name, she sings it. This creates a more positive environment, while still getting the child's attention.
Music brings people together
Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live. Live music often features a group of people playing different instruments, which makes it a shared experience. Listeners can share in the emotions the song expresses. They also create memories together.
And speaking of memories, lots of people connect music with specific places, people or events. Whenever they hear a certain song, they are transported back to some points in the past. Thus music can connect people not only to present people but also to people from their past.
Music is far more than just entertainment; it is a powerful force that affects us in many ways.

In early twentieth-century France, a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit—motion pictures. People crowded into theatres for short, silent, black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings, such as a train pulling into a station. These pictures were dimly projected (投射) onto white sheets. Usually, there was no sound. Sometimes, men at pianos played music to match the scenes.
Moving images in theatres are no longer new, but back at the beginning of the art form, surprises lurked(潜伏) around every corner. During the first showings of silent movies, some people in the audience screamed in fear, reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life. Moviegoers(常看电影的人) were known to leap out of their seats during a movie. At that time, few people understood what motion pictures which were put on in the cinema were, so audience members could easily be fooled.
Today, people crowd into theatres for the latest appealing 3D movies. Even older movies, such as the popular Star Wars series, are being re-released in 3D. Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly in the story or film. In addition, theatres spend tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so that everything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic.
What will movies be like 100 years from now Will audiences be able to smell scents in the films, taste the food that characters are eating, or even become part of the stories themselves Only time will tell.
1. What does the underlined word "hit" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. A heavy blow. B. A crowded place.

2. The author mentioned moviegoers leaping out of their seats to show _________.
A. how foolish audiences were
B. how different old theatres were
C. how scary movies from the past were
D. how unfamiliar movies were to viewers then
3. Why do theatres spend a lot on high-quality audio systems
A. To re-release more old movies. B. To develop movie technologies.
C. To improve movies' sound quality. D. To get audiences involved in the story.
4. What's the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To explain how realistic movies are today.
B. To tell something about future movie plans.
C. To compare movie theatres over the last century.
D. To introduce the development of movie technology.
