28、 If you ever have the desire to break out into song—in the shower,in the car,maybe at your neighbor's karaoke night—you should embrace it whole—heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good,it can also improve your well-being,reduce your feelings of pain,and even extend your life.
Using your voice to sing,rather than simply carryout a conversation,offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also,studies link singing with a lower heart rate,decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston-Roberts,a music therapist(治疗专家). (1)
Singing,particularly in a group,seems to benefit the elderly particulartly well. As part of a three一year study examining how singing affects the health of those fifty-five and older,a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington.D.C. The seniors involved in the chorus,as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting,showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups(对照组). Obviously,the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors' visit,fewer eyesight problems,less depression,and less need for medication. (2)
Even lead researcher Dr.Gene D.Coben,director of the Center on Aging at George Washington University,was surprised at how big an effect the seniors' arts participation had on their health. Coben said,“The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So,if an effect were to be achieved,one would ordinarily expect to see less decline(下降)compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor.” (3) The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing.
The part of the brain that works with spech is diferent from the part that processes music.“People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia(老年痴呆).” Ballard said.
The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. (4) If you are thinking of volunteering,singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients,but also for yourself.
【1】Why was Coben surprised at the results of the study?
A. The study was not expensive as expected.
B. Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals.
C. People's health in the arts group improved greatly.
D. The seniors themselves noticed health improvements.
【2】What is the author's attitude towards arts?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Negative. D. Worried.
【3】Where should the following sentence be put?
“She uses song to help patients who suffer from a variety of problems.”
A. (1) B. (2)
C. (3) D. (4)
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Avoid Getting Dementia.
B. How Seniors Live a Healthy Life.
C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy.
D. How Singing Improves Your Health.
29、Starbucks’ founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso (浓咖啡)in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.
Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino (卡布奇诺).I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes (拿铁)and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.
You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.
What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.
I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.
【1】What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the passage.
B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.
C.To present the standard of good coffee.
D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

A.contains too much sugar juice
B.represents the Italian coffee culture
C.is very different from that served in the US
D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper
B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home
C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine
D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home
【4】According to the passage, we can infer that_______.
A.Starbucks coffee doesn’t agree with the Italians
B.white coffee tastes sweeter than cappuccino
C.Italian coffee culture is widely spread all over the world
D.the British like the kettle the same way as the Italians like coffee
