If music makes you smart and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a person who is better at learning and understanding.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers. They found that person who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better in language ability (能力 ) tests than without music.
The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled ( 加倍) after listening to the music during exercise.” Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system (神经系统 ) and have a direct result on learning ability,” said the psychologist Charles Emery. Scientists have found that music can be good for health and education. It helps relieve stress, sadness and nervousness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.
Psychologists have been using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders ( 言语能力紊乱). Mozart is often chosen because his music is not over-exciting. A study shouted students who often exercise to Mozart’s music go on to score higher marks in tests. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.

阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的三个或四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
People are often fond of collecting things. Collecting stamps，books，pictures and records are some common hobbies. But the strangest collection I have ever known is a collection of clocks. It belongs to my friend Mr. Clock，a short， old man. He owns as many as one thousand five hundred clocks！
7
There are clocks everywhere in his house. You can see shelves standing in every room. All the shelves are full of clocks. As there is not enough room for so many clocks, the man has to fill several trunks with clocks and store these trunks in his garage.
Though Mr. Clock is proud of his large collection of clocks， his wife does not enjoy it at all. She complains(抱怨) every day about the work she has to do, for it is not easy for her to dust hundreds of clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps its own time, so chimes can be heard almost any time during the day and night. In her opinion, however, there is something even worse. With so many clocks arounds, she is never able to know what time it is!
①The writer think it strange to collect .
A. books B. stamps C. records D. clocks
②Mrs. Clock says that the worst thing is that .
A. she has to dust so many clocks
B. she has to work what hard to keep them clean

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点).
7
Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you.” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
1． What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
2．Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
7
D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
3．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C. My Father D. My Childhood
