A Hungarian doctor is advising her lung disease patients to consider a non-traditional form of treatment: singing! And not just singing while making dinner or washing up at night. As part of their treatment, she wants her patients to sing in public as part of a choir (合唱队)!
The Reuters news agency reports that a new choir named “Breathing for the soul” was formed earlier this year. The group recently performed in the ballroom of a hotel in Budapest. The members of the choir come from all across Hungary. Many are sick with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病), more commonly called COPD．
Speaking with Reuters, the choir members explained how singing has improved the quality of their lives. Seventy-four-year-old Maria Aranyi has been suffering with serious asthma, a breathing disorder, for over 10 years. Aranyi said that she never thought in her life that she would ever sing. But now, singing in the choir provides relief from what she call the “gray days”. She added that after singing she noticed that she could also breathe more easily.
Many lung disease patients and others with chronic disorders can become less involved with other people as they grow older. They may be unwilling to go to new places or to try new things. Over time if this continues, they can become more and more lonely.
Singing with others can be a way to break the cycle of loneliness. Singing with others is not easy. It takes a lot of practice and offers a challenge—both physical and mental. But the result—hearing your voice blend and harmonize with others—can be truly uplifting. And for most people, singing in a group is easier than singing alone. There is strength and a sense of well-being in numbers.
1．What should the patients do according to the doctor’s suggestion?
A．Join the hospital choir. B．Say no to singing along.
C．Try some new treatment. D．Refuse conventional treatments.
2．How did singing benefit Aranyi?
A．It gave her lungs a good workout. B．She became fond of live performances.
C．It provided her with more leisure time. D．She felt more enthusiastic about music.
3．What does the underlined word “blend” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Rise. B．Combine. C．Become clearer. D．Grow louder.
4．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Breaking The Silence B．Singing For Harmony
C．Breathing For The Soul D．Involving Singing Together

（上海·高考真题）For some people,music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes(音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music.
