27、   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.

31、课文内容填空

Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
