know that listening to music can soothe emotional pain,but Taylor Swift,Jay-Z and Alicia Keys can also ease physical pain,according to a study of children and teenagers who had major surgery.The research was carried out because of a very personal experience.Sunitha Suresh was a college student when her grandmother had major surgery and was put in intensive care(重症监护).This meant her family couldn't always be with her.They decided to put her favorite music on an iPod so she could listen around the clock.It was very calming,Suresh says.“She knew that someone who loved her had left that music for her and she was in a familiar place.”Suresh could see that the music relaxed her grandmother and made her feel less anxious,but she wondered if she also felt less pain.That would make sense,because anxiety can make people more sensitive to pain.At the time Suresh was majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor(兼修)in music cognition (认知)at Northwestern University where her father,Santhanam Suresh,is a professor of pediatrics(儿科).So the father and daughter decided to do a study.And since Dr Suresh works with children,they decided to look at how music chosen by the children themselves might affect their tolerance for pain.It was a small study,involving60patients between9and14years old.All the patients were undergoing big operations that required them to stay in the hospital for at least a couple of days.Right after surgery,patients received narcotics(麻醉药)to control pain.The next day they were divided into three groups.One group heard30minutes of music of their choice,one heard30minutes of stories of their choice and one listened to30minutes of silence via noise canceling headphones.After a30-minute session,the children who listened to music or books reduced their pain burden by 1point on a10-point scale.Sunitha Suresh says it's equal to taking an over-the-counter pain medication like Advil or Tylenol.The findings suggest that doctors may be able to use less pain medication for their pediatric patients. And that's a good thing,says Santhanam Suresh,as children are smaller and are more likely to suffer side effects.So the less pain medication,he says,the better.（1）（2分）What does the underlined word“soothe”in Paragraph1mean?A．reduce B．influence C．stop D．ignore（2）（2分）What inspired Sunitha Suresh to do the research on the effects of music?A．Her father's study into music cognition.B．Her grandmother's experience of recovery.C．A book that claims anxiety can reduce pain.D．Her desire to find a way to help patients relieve pain.（3）（2分）During the research,all the participants_______.A．were under twelve years oldB．received narcotics to control pain after big operationsC．were required to stay in the hospital for a couple of monthsD．were divided into3groups to listen to the same music（4）（2分）What did Suresh and her father find out from their research?A．Listening to books didn't reduce the children's pain burden at all.B．Music was even more effective than pain medication for the children.C．Listening to music did reduce the children's pain burden to a great extent.D．The longer the children listened to music,the less pain they felt.（5）（2分）The findings are especially important for children because________.A．they are more sensitive to music than adultsB．they can easily get addicted to pain medicationC．they usually don't like taking pain medicationD．they are more likely to suffer side effects of pain medication19．（8分）阅读理解We have a problem，and the strange thing is that we not only know about it,but also celebrate it.Just today,someone boasted(自夸)to me that she was so busy she's averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks.She wasn't complaining;she was proud of the fact.She is not alone.Why are rational(理性的)people so irrational in their behavior?The answer is that we're in the midst of a bubble(泡沫).I call it“The More Bubble”.The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until—eventually—the bubble bursts,and we're left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place.The thing we're overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all,having it all,achieving it all.This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends:smart phones,social media, and extreme consumerism(消费主义).The result is not just information overload,but opinion overload.We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and,therefore,what we should be doing.In the process,we have been sold a bill of goods:that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done.Of course,we boasted about being busy—it's code for being successful and important.And our answer to the problem of more is always more.We need more technology to help us create more technologies.We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.Luckily,there is a solution to asking for more:asking for less,but better.A growing number of people are making this change.I call these people Essentialists.These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else.These people arrange to have actual weekends(during which they are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes.They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings,they put space on their plans to get important work done.So we have two choices:We can be among the last people caught up in“The More Bubble,”or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.（1）（2分）When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks,she________.

Women who start their families when they are older are likely to increase their earning potential.Educational and emotional support for childrenOlder parents who are less stressed about income or job security tend to be more patient and can spend more time with their children.Parents who have more secondary education can also offer more specific stimulation to their children,which can be helpful for development.An investigation of8-to12-year-olds explored how specific parenting beliefs and behaviors—such as reading,constructive play and emotional support—affected child development.The research published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that parent education and income positively affect child achievement.Having babies later in lifeCommon phenomenon It can't be that the number of women having babies later in life is steadily.Long-term in waiting to have babies Longevity forwomen who wait•with those who had their last child before30,women giving to last child after33or even40are more likely to live to95or older.Boosted brainpowerfor older mothers•Later pregnancies prevent late-life cognitionfrom.•Research on830women proves that there is aassociation between later age at last pregnancy and late-lifecognition.Increased incomeover timeOlder mothers have the potential of increasing their income inthe future.Educational andsupport for children•more patience and more time,older parentswith higher income and education can also offer specificstimulation to children.•Specific parenting beliefs and behaviors have influence onchild六、书面表达(共1题；共5分)32．（5分）慈善捐助正在我国流行开来。
