Whether you like Beethoven or Mozart，there is one thing I think we can all agree on：music makes life better.

【1】

Listening to music can reduce stress(压力)

A lot of us may turn to relaxing music when we are feeling stressed or tired.A recent research shows that slow，quiet classical music is suggested to have the most exciting effect.【2】 Or listening to a relaxing，classical－style movie soundtrack can also help you reduce stress.

Listening to music can improve your memory(记忆力)

The interesting part about the research is that it shows music helps your brain develop in many areas，one of the most important being your memory.【3】

【4】

Do you work out？Have you always felt like you perform better when you listen to music？Strange as it might seem，there has actually been a lot of research done on this subject.And sure enough，one study shows that music can increase endurance(耐力)by 15%.【5】However，another study suggests that it's not the type of music，but rather the speed of the music—the beats per minute—that matter.

A．Listening to music can make you healthier.

B．Listening to music can improve endurance.

C．The followings are some benefits of listening to music for us humans.

D．So if you have a hard time dealing with stress，listening to some classical songs could be a good idea.

E．So if you're troubled by a bad memory，learning to play an instrument is something you should consider.

F．One of my biggest regrets these days is that I never actually tried to learn to play the piano properly.

G．One theory is that listening to a classical piece helps you focus，which in turn allows you to persevere longer.

The 18-year-old girl from Linyi, Shandong province scored 568 points on her college entrance exam this year and was admitted to Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

On Aug 19, Xu received a phone call from an unknown person telling her that she was due to receive student funding. Following the call, Xu transferred a 9,900-yuan "activation fee" into the man’s bank account, hoping the money would appear in her student account, but it never did.

After discovering they had been cheated, the family immediately reported the incident to the police, but Xu was said to be frustrated. On their way home, she suddenly fainted and despite doctors’ best efforts to rescue her, she passed away.

The death of Xu yuyu immediately caused an outcry over the society, and once again, it fired a public anger towards those who commit heartless fraud(欺诈).

So how was Xu’s private information leaked out?

Reporters have discovered that there are many people who openly sell the examinee’s information online. The information includes the examinee’s name, school, phone number, and address. The personal information of examinee has become the target of the online fraud industry.

The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.

Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12，000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall's concert history.

Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls, but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stem Auditorium，is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2，804 in five levels of seating.

Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall's history. Question: “How do I get to Carnegie Hall？” Answer: “Practice, practice, practice.”

A. it made a lot of money

C. Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.

D. Because you don't expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.

Homeschooling is legal in all fifty states. The first step is to check with your state's Board of Education to find out what the legal requirements are and what you will need to do in order to comply with them.

Next, you will need to determine whether or not you want your children to follow a structured curriculum. Most parents use this system to ensure that their children will study every subject that a child who goes to a private or public school would.

Homeschooling can not only provide your children with the essential learning of the basic subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic (算数), but it can also help your children to master muchneeded life skills. These skills can range from learning how to do the cleaning to balancing his or her own checkbook. They are skills that your child will need to know so that he or she can take care of themselves later on in life.

One last point about homeschooling: The question of interaction and socialization is most always brought up in the question on whether or not a child should be homeschooled. Publicschooling is automatically thought to be a good place for a child to learn how to get along with his or her peers. While some social skills probably can be learned in this type of environment, peer pressure is always a constant concern for parents. Fortunately, parents who homeschool can teach their children moral values as well as the right way to get along with other people.

【1】Homeschooling is very popular in America mainly because ________.

A. there are not enough public schools to meet with the children's education

B. the development of the Internet and other techniques makes it possible

C. there are some stayathome parents who have time and the ability to teach their children

D. the government encourages parents to teach their children at home

【2】From the last paragraph we can know that ________.

A. whether homeschooling is successful or not depends on the children

B. more moral values can be learned from the public or private schools than at home

C. public schools are good places for children to communicate with each other

D. some parents want to homeschool children because of the peer pressure

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE in the writer's opinion?

A. Parents who want to homeschool children must know the law of the country very well.

B. Parents who want to homeschool children should go to the public school to study first.

C. Most children should often help their parents to do the cleaning at home.
