Module 4 Music Born in America

Tom tried out special approaches and techniques to touch fans’ heart. But recently fans were a bit bored with Tom’s songs and the number of them was in decline rather than on the increase. He didn’t know what problems had arisen. Tom was disappointed but it was in vain. So he decided to quit singing. He was blessed with a talent for writing and was devoted to it. When his first book came out, many people bought it. His humorous language made a deep impression on the readers, which was far from his expectation. At the same time, Lily took advantage of a new kind of music, making her singing boom. And she was more and more in harmony with her fans. You cannot beg for success, otherwise you will never succeed.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proven it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don’t know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
语篇解读：小孩接触音乐对他们很有好处，父母应该多让小孩接触音乐。
1．By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show ________.
A．why adults should listen to music
B．children should listen to music
C．listening to music is only good for adults
D．why scientists are interested in music
解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段的“Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proven it.”可知，作者是为了表明听音乐对成人有益处，也就是为什么成人应该听音乐。
2．What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Harms. B．Changes.
C．Improves. D．Shows.
解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第三段“Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.”可知，画线词所在的句子是指“太多压力会’伤害’孩子的健康”。
3．The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means ________.

A．learning languages better
B．understanding foreign cultures better
C．accepting the fast developing world easily
D．showing greater interest in other cultures
解析：选B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.”可知，听音乐可以帮助更好地理解外国的文化。
4．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Why do Children Love Music?
B．How to Choose Music for Children
C．How to Teach Children Music Easily
D．Why is Music Important to Children?
解析：选D　标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要是讲为什么音乐对小孩很重要。

One morning when I was visited an art museum, I heard a woman talk nonstop to the man with her. I became annoying quickly because I wanted to look at the paintings without being disturbed. So I went to the another corner and looked at the paintings there. About an hour later, if I saw them again, the woman was still talking nonstop. I want to go to the woman to advise her to keep silence. However, when I got close them, I changed my mind. I found that the men was blind. He couldn’t see something.

Dear Samuel，
I am very glad to tell you our extracurricular activities. Twelve extracurricular activities, such as Gardening, Cooking and First Aid, have been arranged this term and there will be more next term. All the subjects can help to arouse students’ interests and improve students’ operating skills. As a result, these activities are quite popular with us students.
As for me, I have chosen Gardening because Gardening can provide me with a chance to get close to nature. At the same time, I can plant trees and flowers, which can help cultivate my character. Next summer vacation when you come to China, you can have a taste of the grapes planted by myself.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Zhong
