Some people think that singing can lift our spirits. There are some other people who don't think so. They don't like singing and they say singing can never make them happy. I don't agree with that. I think singing can make us feel good. Of course they can lift our spirits. Let me tell you more about that.
Some researchers once did some surveys and have proved that is true. They say that singing can bring a number of health benefits(益处). If you sing with your friends, the effects may be even better.
John Lennon is a retired(退休的) professor of Vocal Performance at Emporia State University. He says, “Singing is an inborn(天生的) need. Babies sing to themselves and they seem so happy. Like babies, when we sing, we feel so good and singing makes us feel even better. I like singing and I am happy every day.”
Music is a part of human nature. And singing is a form of expression that is understood by everyone. Some people say that music is like a kind of language. The language can show people's opinions and attitudes(态度) to their life. Some songs can cheer people up when they are in trouble. Some songs can make people happy and excited.
4. The underlined word “expression” probably means “________” in Chinese.
A. 运动 B. 表情 C. 表达 D. 放松
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. All the people think singing can lift our spirits.
B. There are some people who don't like singing.
C. If you sing in a group, the effects may be worse.
D. All the babies never sing to themselves.
6. What's the best title for the passage
A. The Importance of Music B. The History of Music

C(2024南京雨花台中学月考)
When people usually think of a “fat burning”, they'll depend on the pills. However, science has shown that among the most popular way of losing weight is music.
The fact that we're influenced by music should come as no surprise. Those who exercise to music have long realized the exciting power of an adrenaline boosting(促进肾上腺素的) song. But recent studies show that music does more than just help us lose weight. It may actually change the body's physiology(生理机能).
To test the influence of the music, the researchers asked 24 college students and had them each cycle in five test parts that including exercising to no music, slow music, fast music, slow to fast music and finally fast to slow music.
In all the test parts, the students started to cycle at 50 watts and then the workload(工作量) was increased in increments of 25 watts every minute until self declared exhaustion(自称疲惫).
According to Dr. Szabo, results showed that those who exercised with “faster paced” music could make it to the end. The slow to fast music parts had worked better than the other parts. It clearly showed that powerful faster music can have an increasing exercise workload.
Of course, consistency(一致性) is the key to achieving greater fat loss results with music. If done consistently over a period of weeks, listening to powerful faster music during your workouts could very well be associated with increased cardiovascular conditioning(心血管调节), but greater fat loss, as well.
7. In the test, students cycled in ________ test parts of music.
A. 2 B. 5 C. 24 D. 25
8. _________ can bring the best effect when people have an increasing exercise workload.
A. Fast to slow music B. Slow music
C. Slow to fast music D. Fast music
9. The key to achieving greater fat loss results with music is ________.
A. consistency B. time
C. confidence D. cardiovascular conditioning
10. What's the best title for the passage
A. How to Lose Weight
B. The Influence of Music
C. The Key to Losing Weight
D. Music and Losing Weight

(2024长沙)Hello, I'm David Smith. Now I'd like to share with you the story of how music has had a strong influence on my life.
Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, my body ached all the time. So I went to the doctor. I was told I had a serious illness which was difficult to cure. And I thought I didn't have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so lonely and discouraged.
Then one day, I had to go through a two hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so she played some music for me, and one of the songs was Happy, which has been my favorite song till now. This positive(积极的) and uplifting song gave me strength(力量) and helped me go through the darkness. From then on, I began to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan once said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it's true. Music worked wonders for me. It helped me recover(恢复) and come back to life.
Of course, I hope none of you have to experience the same kind of suffering(痛苦) that I did. However, we all go through some periods when we feel sad or lonely. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will value music and make it a part of your life.

Music brings me hope and strength during hard times, offering words of wisdom that guide me through life's challenges. Music helps me build a good relationship. When I was young, I used to be shy. As I took up playing the guitar to deal with my shyness, I made lots of friends. Besides, music opens my eyes. Through music, I can broaden my horizons, sharpen my mind, and deepen my understanding.
Also, music reminds me of some happy memories. It makes me remember the love and care my teachers and friends have given me. It tells me the best things in life are free.
Overall, music enriches my life, making it more meaningful and fulfilling. I hope all of us will value music and make it a part of our life.
