During that time, the two-pound baby showed signs of life. She said,“I told my mom, who was there, that he was still alive. Then he held out his hand and grabbed (抓住)my finger.” Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mother’s arms, and their final goodbye turned into a hello.

“The “kangaroo care” helps the baby keep body warmth,” Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said, “It also regulates (调节) heartbeat and breathing rates and is believed to help weight gain and improve sleeping habits. Fathers can also use “kangaroo care”. The key to the method is skin -to -skin contact.

Grandma was the only mother Thomas had ever known. She appeared to be a loving lady but often angered easily. When Thomas one day discovered that other children had someone they called Mum and asked why he must call her grandma instead of Mum. She told him gently about his mother’s death before he was three months old. There was not the same
reaction(反应) when he asked why he had 75 to call Dad. Then his grandmother glared at (瞪着)
Him and got angrier than he had 76 seen and the sharp reply was,” He was a bad man. He didn’t want your mother, and he didn’t want you when you were born. Thomas never asked about his father any more.
Shortly after his fifth birthday and two days before Christmas Day, Thomas was woken up by his grandma’s calling to him from her bedroom. Running into the old lady’s room, he found her 77 for breathlessness, and between gasps (喘气)，trying to tell him to fetch the next-door neighbour.

There are different ways of telling a story. It can be told in words, in pictures, in music, and acted o 81 , or it can be told by still another way--- by dancing. Dancing that tells a story is called a ballet（芭蕾舞). The dancing in a ballet is done to music, but the story is told by the movements of the dancers. There is no singing and speaking in it. A ballet is a work of art just as a beautiful picture.
The origin(起源) of ballet d 82 back about 600 years ago, which began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulers in Italy. Two hundred years later ballet wad popular in the French court. The French King Louis XIV founded a ballet school. Later the rulers of Russia became interested in ballet. They offered large amounts of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France. They also set up their own ballet schools and dance companies(舞蹈团). Soon Russians produced many famous ballets. “Swan Lake” was one of them. Russians transformed the world dance, music, art, theatre and even f 83 .
The basic positions(姿势) and techniques of ballet were developed long ago. Over the centuries, choreographers （编舞者）have revised（修改） the classical techniques, but the basic positions have remained the same. When you begin learning the steps and poses （舞姿）of ballet, you will realize that most of them have French names. For example, a part of a ballet
that is danced by just two people is called pas-de-deux(芭蕾双人舞). Most of the French terms have been c 84 throughout the years.
Ballet dancing is known for its grace and elegance, as ballerinas(芭蕾舞女演员) seem to glide（滑行） across the stage almost effortlessly（不费力地）. Ballet dancers strive to appear tall and light on their feet. Female dancers raise themselves even higher by going up on their toes with pointe shoes（足尖鞋）. Probably the most important part of a ballet dancer's equipment is ballet shoes. After several years of proper t 85 , some female ballet dancers wear pointe shoes to make them appear lighter and more delicate. Pointe shoes make it possible for ballerinas to dance on the tips of their toes.
The first ballet was performed over 500 years ago. Men t 86 danced the leading roles, as women were considered too weak to perform the challenging and sometimes daring choreography（大胆的舞蹈动作）. But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer. Many of the most famous ballets were adapted from fairy tales and folk stories. Some ballets are based on historical events and bible stories. In a ballet you can find the most beautiful and graceful of all dance styles. If you've ever seen a l 87 ballet on stage, you are aware of a ballerina's amazing ability to transport an entire audience into another world. All ballet dancers have one thing in common: a love of grace, beauty and discipline (有素养)of ballet.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分）
Music not only gives you something to sing and dance to, but also can make you feel happier. Scientists say that music can help to relax people’s mind and even help to relieve pain. How does music work its magic? It is the fact that music can adjust(调节) our mood. Recently, there is a scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite (相反的情况)happens when people feel aggressive（好斗的） or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.
Dr. Adrian North made a study with 256 university students.Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers（传单） in support of the local disabled athlete’s foundation（残疾运动员基金会）.
The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to (愿意) hand out flyers. But less than 20% in the group that heard the aggressive music were willing to do so. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate(合作). While a study also shows that productivity (生产效率) can be increased with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates(刺激)worker’s mind, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood have more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.
These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a person’s ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence(直接影响) on cooperation and job satisfaction. These factors also have a direct relationship to the success of a business.

___________________________________________________________.

90.Why do people use the right choice of background music in the workplace?

91.How many university students did Dr. Adrian North make a study with?
