If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍).
“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.

A. produce B. provide C. improve D. impress
37. From the last paragraph we can learn that ______.
A. you should follow your parents’ words
B. you have some good reasons to join in an IQ test
C. good marks depend on listening to music and excising
D. exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests
38. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease.
B. Exercise is used for people with head hurts.
C. Exercise causes no changes in health without music.
D. Music can help you relax and feel energetic.
39. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Exercise to Music B. Music and study
C. Importance of Music D. Studies on Exercise
40. The text mainly tells us that _____.
A. music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep?B. 33 volunteers work on music in medical fields?C. exercise to music makes people healthy and bright?D. scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise

Smog is one of the hot subjects these years. It does great harm to people's health. The most terrible smog lasted for about a week in February, 2014. It covered 15 percent of the land in northern and central China.
Now, more and more people in China have realized the importance of protecting the environment. They try to save energy by walking or riding to work in their daily life. Cities including Beijing and Shanghai have taken action by controlling the number of cars and closing heavily polluting factories.

The two large countries, China and the USA, produce about 45 percent of the world's greenhouse gasses(温室气体)On November 12, President Xi Jinping and Obama announced that both countries would work together to cut down CO2 emissions(二氧化碳的排放).The goal needs everyone's effort.
