It’s an honour to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all? Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn’t have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was Happy. The song made me feel so much better that from then on I be gan to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind. ” And it’s true. Music helped me recover.Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and brought me relief. It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover, music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. It became my best friend. It spoke words ofencouragement to the deepest part of my being.Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I did. At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.Thank you!Ⅱ. 按要求完成任务1. 写出文章中表达音乐好处的相关表达。

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解(2017·厦门质检)导学号 42492401A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory aris ing from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph.D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing ra ther than serious.” I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States, every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaneing politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy selfimage.On the topic of selfimage, Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song“Dont Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹)to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.文章大意：一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。
