17、ences brainwavesAccording to a medical research, music produces sound vibrations which can stimulate your brainwaves.

It seems she is absolutely plunged in this creative process and gets satisfaction while playing the vio

22、lin. I think music is the best way to express your individuality. Your own music can have a magical healing effect on you and others as well.Music is one of the most beautiful things created by a human being. I cannot even imagine this world without it. I hope humanity will learn soon how to use it

23、wisely. Have you ever used music in healing purposes? Do you support music therapy as a way of healing people?AGeorge Gershwin, born in 1898,was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five h

24、undred songs. Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every pos

25、sible wayfrom jazz to country. In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazzz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gersh

26、win agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that show time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The sudience were thrilled when they heard his m

27、usic. It made him world­famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition(作曲) with the well­known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz­

28、;influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (評(píng)論家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of

29、 his most famous works. George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty­nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.

BYou may be familiar with some of ancient Chinese musical instruments called Erhu or Guzheng,but you may be not familiar with some other ancient Chinese music instruments,such as the Hujia. These instruments are gradually dyin

34、g out because of a lack of attention and preservation for them. But now,a young man in Northeast China's Shenyang City is hoping to change that.Liu Da was born in Shenyang City,Liaoning Province,China and graduated from Tchaikovsky Music University in Ukraine two years ago,where he majored in pi

35、ano. But rather than a pianist,Liu is now more like a carpenter for most of the day. And it's all for one thing:to recreate the musical instruments of ancient China.“In Ukraine,during major festivals,the artists from around the world would dress up in their own traditional clothes and use their

36、own musical instruments to play. I had an opportunity to see a lot of music instruments in these festivals.So I was inspired to present our culture,our music as well,from where I'm from,” Liu said.Liu Da started to recreate ancient Chinese music instruments after he graduated from university. It

37、 usually takes him between six to eight months to make one ancient instrument. Liu Da has even learned the Manchu and Mongolian language,so he could consult historic files to make accurate designs.During the last two years,he has recreated 23 different kinds of musical instruments from ancient China

38、,some dating back over thousands of years.“This musical instrument is called a Hujia,a reed ripe(牧笛)It dates back to 3,000 BC. It's very old and it has a very interesting history,” Liu Da said.Liu Da's next plan is to form a band with these 23 instruments to get an authentic flavor for ancie

39、nt music.6Why are some ancient Chinese musical instruments dying out?AThey have lost their value in the modern society.BPeople in China are not able to play them.CPeople pay no attention to preservation for them.DPeople in China don't know how to recreate them.7What inspired Liu Da to recreate a

40、ncient Chinese musical instruments?ANo artists were invited to play in major festivals in Ukraine.BMusicians played their own musical instruments in festivals.CArtists from other countries knew little about Chinese culture and music.DChinese modern musical instruments were not popular with artists.8

41、It can be known from the passage that _ALiu Da began making musical instruments when he was in the universityBAncient Chinese musical instruments are easy to recreate for Liu DaCLiu Da has recreated 23 different kinds of musical instruments from the worldDLiu Da has made great efforts to recreate an

42、cient Chinese musical instruments 9What does Liu Da plan to do in the near future?ATo form a band with instruments he recreated.BTo recreate more musical instruments.CTo go for further study in Ukraine.DTo perform all around the world.CRecent research shows young children who take music lessons have

43、 better memories than their nonmusical peers.The research,published in the online edition of the journal Brain,showed that after one year of musical training,children did better in a memory test than those who did not take music classes.“The research tells us that if you take music lessons your brai

44、n is getting wired up differently,”Laurel Trainor,professor of psychology at McMaster University,said.“This is the first study to show that brain responses in young,musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,”said Trainor.Over a year they took four measurem

45、ents in two groups of children aged between four and sixthose taking music lessons and those taking no musical training outside schooland found developmental changes over periods as short as four months.The children completed a music test in which they were asked to discriminate between harmonies,rh

46、ythms and melodies(旋律),and a memory test in which they had to listen to a series of numbers,remember them and repeat them back.Trainor said while previous studies have shown that older children given drama(戲劇)and painting lessons had greater improvements in IQ scores than children who didn't;chi

47、ldren given music lessons did better than those given drama.This is the first study to identify these effects in brain­based measurements in young children.She said it was not that surprising that children studying music improved in musical listening skills more than children not studying music

48、.“On the other hand,it is very interesting that the children taking music lessons improved more on general memory skills that are correlated with nonmusical abilities such as literacy,verbal memory,visuospatial processing,mathematics and IQ,”she said.語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀:最新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),學(xué)習(xí)音樂(lè)可以提高兒童的記憶力。10.What can we learn

52、ous for the tango. The US.A.is known for jazz,the type of music that has gained worldwide popularity.Jazz is an American contribution to popular music. While classical music follows formal European tradition,jazz is rather a free form. It is full of energy,expressing,the moods,interests,and emotions

53、 of the people. It is breaking and exciting with a modern sound. In the 1920s jazz sounded like America. And so it does today.The origins(起源) of the music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was invented by American Negroes,or blacks,as they are called today,who were brought to the southern

54、 states as slaves. They were sold to farm owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died his friends and relatives would gather and carry the body to have a ceremony before they buried him.There was always a band with t

55、hem. On the way to the ceremony the band played slowly,solemn music suitable for the situation. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Everyone was happy. Death had removed one of their members,but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music. This music made everyone

56、 want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.Music has always been important in Negro life. The black,who were brought to American from West Africa,had a rich musical tradition. In the fields,they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster. And when they got to Christianity,they made l

57、ovely spirituals,which have become an everlasting part of American music.14From the passage,we can see that jazz_.Ais a kind of African musicBstarted from Africa but is popular in AmericaCwas started by blacks working in AfricaDwas started by blacks in America15Jazz is a kind of music_.Aalmost the same as classical musicBquite different from classical musicCpopular only in AmericaDquite different from Africa music16Usually we may feel _ moods when we listen to jazz music.Asad and sorryBtiring and hard workingCexciting and happyDlonely and sad17Jazz wi
