A．music can change the world B．music can influence one’s moodC．music can make people comfortable D．music can make people wise all day22．The underlined word “pumped”in the third paragraph most probably means ________.

Next time you are having trouble going to sleep，try putting on a jazz CD.Researchers have shown just 45 minutes of relaxing music before bedtime can make for a restful night.The Taiwanese researchers studied the sleeping patterns of 60 elderly people with sleep problems. They told the Journal of Advanced Nursing how the technique was easy to learn and lacked theside effects of other treatments. The study participants were either given a choice of music to listen to before going to sleep or nothing at all. The music group were able to choose from six tapes that featured soft，slow music—around 60～80 beats per minute—such as jazz，folk or orchestral pieces.Listening to music caused physical changes that aided restful sleep，including a lower heart and respiratory (呼吸的) rate，the researchers found.The people in the music group reported a 35% improvement in their sleep，including better and longer nighttime sleep and less dysfunction (机能障碍) during the day.Lead author Professor Hui­Ling Lai，of the Buddhist TzuChi General Hospital and the University of Taiwan，said，“The music group reported a 26% overall improvement in the first week and this figure continued to rise as they mastered the technique of relaxing into sedative (安静的) music.”Professor Jim Horne，from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University，said，“If anyone is a bit agitated before they go to bed，then anything that can help them calm down and relax is a good thing.”“Some say making sure older people sleep less in the afternoon and get plenty of exposure to daylight can help them get a better night’s sleep.”26．Listening to music before going to sleep________.A．is better than other treatments to help you sleepB．can cure some diseases as well as sleeplessnessC．is a necessary step for the elderD．can improve one’s taste for music27．Listening to music has some help on the elder EXCEPT________.A．sleep well B．lower heart rateC．increase blood cycle D．lower breathe rate28．The underlined word “agitated”means “________”．A．relaxed B．disappointedC．nervous D．surprised29．Judging by Professor Hui­Ling Lai’s words，we know________.A．he has cured his sleeplessnessB．it is not easy to master the technique of relaxing into sedative musicC．he thinks much of music treatment for sleeplessnessD．he is worried about the spread of music treatment30．What’s the best title for the passage?A．People will benefit from musicB．The relation between sleeplessness and musicC．A research shocks the worldD．Listen to music to help you sleepCThere are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows students to grow as people，and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education，as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worryabout grades or rules. For the students who worry about these things a lot，it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students，there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education，these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. The teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea，but only in theory. In actual fact，it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students，but of course not all students，want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases，they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.31．Open education allows students to________.A．grow as the educatedB．be responsible for their futureC．develop their own interestsD．discover subjects outside class32．Open education may be a good idea for the students who________.A．enjoy learning with teachers’helpB．worry about grades at schoolC．do well in a traditional classroomD．are responsible for their life33．Some students will do little in an open classroom because______.A．there are too few rulesB．they hate activitiesC．there are no teachersD．they worry about the rules34．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Some traditional teachers do not like open education.B．Many teachers do not believe in open education.C．Teachers may have problems in open classrooms.D．The teacher’s feelings and attitudes are important.35．Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A．Open education is like a coin that has two sides.B．Open education is better than traditional education.C．Teachers dislike open education.D．Open education is a good idea in practice.DGeniuses amaze us，impress us and make us all a little jealous. How do they differ from the average person？Scientists are working hard to figure out that answer. Tune in to the National Geographic Channel to find out about the discoveries they’re making in the series My Brilliant Brain.When Marc Yu was only two years old，he began to play the piano. After a year，he started learning pieces by Beethoven. Now he’s a world-famous concert pianist at age eight. He learns newer and more difficult pieces with ease and can identify any note he hears. He seems to be specially designed for music. In Born Genius，National Geographic looks at the science behind child prodigies (神童) to explain why some children seem to be born without limits.Genius didn’t come naturally to Tommy McHugh. His came only after he nearly died from bleeding in his brain. After recovering，McHugh’s head was filled with new thoughts and pictures. So，he began to express them in the form of poetry and art. Now，he’s a seemingly unstoppable creative machine. Sufferers of autism and brain injury have shown that great mental ability can sometimes come from damage or disease. Accidental Genius explores this puzzling relationship. Can normal people be trained to be geniuses？Susan Polger has shown no signs of extraordinary intelligence. Yet，during her childhood，she studied thousands of chess patterns and learned to recognize them immediately. As a result，she was able to beat skilled adult players by age 10 and can now play up to five games at the same time without even seeing the boards. Make Me a Genius examines what it takes to turn an ordinary brain into that of a genius.If becoming a genius were easy，we’d all be one. Yet，there is much more to super intelligence than simply being born lucky.
