Text 2William Shakespeare described old age as" second childishness"-no teeth, no eyes, no taste. In the case of taste he may, musically speaking, have been more perceptive than he realised. A paper in Neurology by Giovanni Frisoni and his colleagues at the National Centre for Research and Care of Alzheimers's Disease in Italy, shows that frontotemporal dementia can affect musical desires in ways that suggest a regression ,if not to infancy,then at least to a patient's teens.Frontotemporal dementia, a disease usually found with old people, is caused, as its name suggests,by damage to the front and sides of the brain. These regions are concerned with speech, and with such"higher"functions as abstract thinking and judgment.Two of such patients intrigued Dr Frisoni. One was a 68-year-old lawyer, the other a 73-year- old housewife. Both had undamaged memories, but displayed the sorts of defect associated with frontotemporal dementia-a diagnosis that was confrrmed by brain scanning.About two years after he was first diagnosed, the lawyer, once a classical music lover who re-ferred to pop music as"mere noise" , started listening to the Italian pop band "883". As his command of language and his emotional attachments to friends and family deteriorated, he continued to listen to the band at full volume for many hours a day. The housewife had not even had the lawyer's love of classical music, having never enjoyed music of any sort in the past. But about a year after her diagnosis she became very interested in the songs that her ll-year-old granddaughter was listen ing to.This kind of change in musical taste was not seen in any of the Alzheimer's patients, and thus appears to be specific to those with frontotemporal dementia. And other studies have remarked on how frontotemporal-dementia patients sometimes gain new talents. Five sufferers who developed artistic abilities are known. And in another case, one woman with the disease suddenly started composing and singing country and western songs.Dr Frisoni speculates that the illness is causing people to develop a new attitude towards novel experiences, Previous studies of novelty-seeking behaviour suggest that it is managed by the brain'sright frontal lobe. A predominance of the right over the left frontal lobe, caused by damage to thelatter,might thus lead to a quest for new experience. Alternatively, the damage may have affectedsome specific nervous system that is needed to appreciate certain kinds of music. Whether that is again or a loss is a different matter. As Dr Frisoni puts it in his article, there is no accounting fortaste.46. The writer quotes Shakespeare mainly to[A] praise the keen perception of the great English writer.[B] support Dr. Frisoni 's theory about a disease.[C] start the discussion on a brain disease.[D] show the long history of the disease.
Frontotemporal dementia is a disease[ A] identified with loss of memory.[ B] causing damage to certain parts of the brain.[ C] whose patients may develop new talents.[ D] whose symptoms are similar to those of Alzheimer's patients.

CIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers （生产商）follow certain uniform. standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form. the left. Considering most of the word’s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men’s shirts button form. the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form. the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form. the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A.

Music for Medicine We take a look at the effectiveness of music therapy in patient rehabilitation.Music therapy is where art and science meet in improving the physical and emotional health of patients,and some of the effects are changing people's lives.41.Scientific music therapy originated after World War I,when it was noticed that visiting musicians greatly aided traumatised soldiers in hospital.Since then,neurologists have shown that music directly affects both our physical and mental processes and can greatly speed the recovery of patients in hospitals,special-education centres and aged-care facilities.42.Why music has this therapeutic effect is poorly understood,but the results are clear:music influences everything from heart rate and blood pressure to skin responses and the immune system.It has a positive impact on chronic fatigue syndrome,sleeping patterns and supporting recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.It relieves anxiery in the terminally ill and reduces the medication required among the sick.Music therapy even improves the memory and communication and motor skills of stroke and brain injury victims,speeding their recovery.43.Most of us would agree that music is relaxing.Indeed,it actually reduces our respiratory rate,heart rate,blood pressure and stress hormones.As a result,music has the ability to reduce anxiety in dental clinics,calm patients in mental wards and alleviate perceptions ofpain-even among women in labour.Making,rather than listening to music,also affects patients'motivation and desire for social interaction."Often in the chemotherapy ward when I sit by patients and sing,they start to join in.It's not a sterile trcatment space anymore.It's a place where people are coming together in music making,"says O'Bricn.44.The magic works even on the very young,suggesting we have a wired connection to music beyond social conditioning.Even premature babies show amazing improvements when exposed to music."Thcrc's more to looking after sick babies than turning up the oxygen or giving feeds,"says Dr.Peter McDougall at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne."Music therapy has a big part to play in the carc of babies.I'm a big supporter of it."Every time the music is switched on,the babies'heart rates drops and blood oxygen saturation increases.They gain weight more quickly and shorten their hospital stay."Baby boys leave a day and a half sooner,but for some reason,baby girls leave an extraordinary I I days earlier."says Dr.Jane Standley."American hospitals now routinely play music to premature babies,saving up to I 5 percent of their medical costs."45.Premature babies show a preference for simple classical arrangements and female vocals,perhaps because they mimic the heartbeat tempo and voice they hear in the womb.This is also the key to lullabies,which havc a repetitive,almost monotonous nature-just like the predictable music that soothes during massagcs or meditation.One Harvard study found that patients listening to Mozart piano sonatas show a decrease in blood pressure,stress hormones and the trauma-response chemical cytokine,while anothcr found Mozart the best at calming cpileptic seizures.42选？A.Feel-good factorsB.Improve communicative skillsC.Choose music for babiesD.Feed babv with musicE.Effects ofmusic therapy on healthF.The origin ofmusic therapyG.Baby needs tunes

问答题In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. For Answers 1 to 5, please read the passage carefully and complete each space in the summary, using a maximum of three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Answers 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Around the world, music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. Classical music is most typically used for therapies due to its complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety. Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal diseases? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endor-plains are the body’s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day care centers, and schools.Summary: There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful 1 some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors and patients are turning to music to treat various 2 and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with 3 and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to 4 more activity in the brain. Although it may be fun to listen to rap or pop or dance music, doctors prefer to use 5 to treat patients.
