21、 Does listening to music make you feel relaxed? Could it even go further and help cure serious diseases? The Sync Project, a new company based in Boston, is trying to find out if this is possible. Its mission is to figure out if music can truly be used as medicine.
Current research into how music affects the body and brain shows that there is at least some influence. For instance, research published in 2005 by Theresa Lesiuk at the University of Windsor in Canada found that music helped to improve the quality and timeliness of office work, as well as ameliorate positive attitudes while people were working. A review in 2012 by Costas Karageorghis, a sport psychologist at Brunel University in London found there was “evidence to suggest that carefully selected music can give physical and psychological benefits during high-intensity exercise”. The research by Jessica Grahn, an assistant professor at the University of Western Ontario, has shown that even when people aren’t tapping their foot or dancing to music, FMRI scans show that “quite a lot” of the brain is responding. A song’s rhythm, Grahn said, drives responses in the brain’s movement areas, and these responses tend to be stronger with music that has a clear beat that people can follow. “One thing that people have observed is that if you play Parkinson’s patients music that has a steady beat ... these patients seem to have improvements in their walking,” she added.
Grahn is realistic but excited. “I think there’s a lot of hype (炒作) about what music can do,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a sort of cure-all or replacement for a lot of things, but I certainly think it has potential. And the great thing about it is there are generally no bad side effects, it gives patients a sense of control over their treatment, and that’s really important.”
【1】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Music Could Be a Cure? B.The Contributions of Sync Project
C.Music means a lot to researchers? D.The Medical Promotion by Music
【2】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By giving instructions. D.By analyzing cause and effect.
【3】What does the underlined word “ameliorate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Value. B.Lack. C.Improve. D.Suspect.
【4】Researchers have found from their studies that _________.
A.music has potential to replace medicine
B.music controls quality and quantity of office work
C.music can cure physical and psychological problems
D.music of clear beats helps Parkinson’s patients walk better
22、 The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

24、Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We’ve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnic paradise. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, the stars line up for a spectacular show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.

Here, you’ll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park.
