The Giving Voice Chorus()was created in 2014 by Mary Lenard,a former
director of the Alzheimer's Association of Minnesota-North Dakota.With co-worker Marge
Ostroushko,who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer's disease(AD),a brain disorder
that gets worse over time,Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD
and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.
"People with AD sometimes withdraw and often are not included in the community,"
she says."Marge and I recognized that music and singing are ways for people with AD to
still be included and join in life."

In the beginning,the chorus was made up of 30 people,including volunteers from the
community who helped with small tasks during chorus practice,such as helping singers find the
printed music in their binders()if they lost their place.Since then,the Giving Voice
Chorus has grown to two additional choruses,with more than 180 members overall
"We don't do auditions,and we don't care what AD cases you have or the stage of your
discase,"says Lenard.As long as you enjoy the experience,anyone can be part of the
group.It's a place where everyone belongs."
Lenard says,"When we first started out,Marge and I didn't know if people with AD were
going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset."But the opposite
has happened."There's a positive change we see in people when they're singing songs they
love.They're smiling,and there's joy and laughter.It's really special."
"People with AD might have difficulty learning a new song or coming up with words on their
own,"says Dr.Caselli,AD specialist at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale "But if they hear a song
they've known all their lives,they tend to remember the words and are able to sing along.And
because speech and long-term memory aren't usually affected until late in the disease,members
of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life."
28.What's the purpose of the Giving Voice Chorus
A.To enrich the young men's life.
B.To raise money for the poor.
C.To ask people to tend to the old.
D.To help people with AD.
29.What does the underlined word "withdraw"in paragraph 2 mean
A.Stop social activities.
B.Be looked down upon.
C.Be cheated.
D.Get lost.
