The benefits of listening to music

Whether you like Beethoven or Mozart，there is one thing I think we can all agree on：music makes life better.

1.

Listening to music can reduce stress(壓力)

A lot of us may turn to relaxing music when we are feeling stressed or tired.A recent research shows that slow，quiet classical music is suggested to have the most exciting effect.2. Or listening to a relaxing，classical－style movie soundtrack can also help you reduce stress.

Listening to music can improve your memory(記憶力)

The interesting part about the research is that it shows music helps your brain develop in many areas，one of the most important being your memory.3.

4.

Do you work out？Have you always felt like you perform better when you listen to music？Strange as it might seem，there has actually been a lot of research done on this subject.And sure enough，one study shows that music can increase endurance(耐力)by 15%.5.However，another study suggests that it's not the type of music，but rather the speed of the music—the beats per minute—that matter.

A．Listening to music can make you healthier.

B．Listening to music can improve endurance.

C．The followings are some benefits of listening to music for us humans.

D．So if you have a hard time dealing with stress，listening to some classical songs could be a good idea.

E．So if you're troubled by a bad memory，learning to play an instrument is something you should consider.

F．One of my biggest regrets these days is that I never actually tried to learn to play the piano properly.

G．One theory is that listening to a classical piece helps you focus，which in turn allows you to persevere longer.

Pharrell Williams takes a breath and considers how the past years have developed for him: ten Grammy Awards and a number of hit singles including a song that has caused countless fans to express how they are “happy”．

And the key, says the 43?year?old known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences' (聽眾的) need for heartfelt personal stories.

“I think we've entered a new singer?songwriter time，” said the American singer and producer. “People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It's not about what you have or what you don't have; it's more about your journey and your viewpoint that's important to people.”

Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences' tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. Countless videos populate sites like YouTube with people from Portugal and China to Abu Dhabi and Iran singing and dancing along to the song.

After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

“It's just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express，” he said.

The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感紐帶), perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we're living in today.

“People want to feel. There's too much thinking to deal with，” the singer said. “We're different from what we were 15 years ago, The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It' s the most important thing ever.”

1.What's the key to successful music according to Pharrell?

A. Writing happy songs.

B. Following your heart.

C. Telling moving stories.

D. Sharing personal experiences.

2.What can we learn about Pharrell's song Happy?

A. It received a cold welcome.

B. It became popular overnight.

C. It changed audiences' tastes in music.

D. It received different responses at home and abroad.

3.How did Pharrell feel about the success of his song?

A. It was caused by good luck.

B. It was within his expectations.

C. It gave him hope and confidence.

D. It prevented him giving up making music.

4.Why do people want to be connected to others emotionally?

A. They need someone to talk to.

B. They need others to help them think.

C. They are tired of their own personal life.

D. They feel less human in the technological world.

We have some friends who seem as if they understand and appreciate you, but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her, but she actually didn’t.

When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didn’t have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.

Nevaeh, a shy girl, didn’t answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to, her mouth would close up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends, Brooke wouldn’t leave Nevaeh’s side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends. There were only three girls, Karla, Mariana, and Isela, but Nevaeh was fine with it. At least she had friends.

They got along very well and had a few things in common. When they were finally in middle school, Brooke and Nevaeh became best friends, but as they got older, they changed. When Nevaeh changed the way she looked and acted, Brooke didn’t like it. Brooke started to judge her, and make her wear stuff that she didn’t like. They had arguments about the way Nevaeh wanted to look, and how Brooke didn’t like what she wore.

Nevaeh wasn’t sure if she could really trust Brooke anymore. That was until she met Susan who understood Nevaeh and didn’t judge her by her looks, but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.

Nevaeh really liked Susan because she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests it was like they had known each other for a long time.

Nevaeh was still friends with the other girls, and was happy that she finally had someone that understood her and appreciated her.
