Music has been shown to have a beneficial influence on cognitive(认知) process in healthy people and those who have brain damage. For example, daily music therapy can help to increase cognitive recovery. Fabien Perrin at the University of Lyon, France, and colleagues recorded brain activity in four patients while they were reading a list of peoples names, including their own names. Before the list, they listened to either their favorite musicchosen by family or friends or “musical noise”. The team then repeated the experiment with ten healthy volunteers. In all four patients, playing the music rather than musical noise promoted the quality of the brains response to their own names, bringing it closer to the brain response of the healthy volunteers to hearing their names. The work was presented at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness meeting in Brighton, UK, last month.Perrin has two theories about whats going on. “Listening to preferred music excites our memory of ourselvesso it could make it easier for the response to the information such as our own names,” he says. “Another theory is that music promotes awareness, so maybe it temporarily increases consciousness and recognition of ones own names bees easier.”“The familiar music might be causing an emotional arousal effect, and once the patient with brain damage is aroused, there is a small window that opens for increased munication and the brain responds to the name,” suggests Carsten Finke, an expert at Charite Medical School in Berlin, Germany, who was not involved in the study. So is Perrins music waking some form of consciousness in the people with brain damage? “I havent e across any responses like this to music before and its too early to conclude that it has any therapeutic effects in these patients,” says Adrian Owen at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. 56. What did Fabien Perrin find about the four patients in the experiment?A. Their cognitive recovery was increased after listening to music noise.B. They responded to music noise more quickly than to their favorite music.C. Their consciousness and recognition of music noise became easier.D. They could react to their own names better after listening to their favorite music.57. From Adrian Owens words, we can infer that _.A. music can increase consciousnessB. preferred music can excite ones memory of his ownC. music has no therapeutic effects on people with brain damageD. more research should be done to confirm the influence of music58. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. People with brain damage like listening to music.B. Familiar music could help people with brain damage.C. People with brain damage can recognize their own names.D. Everyone can increase cognitive recovery through music.BSince we started offering China private tour packages on North-America market in xx, CTSI has enjoyed great reputation.Whether you design your tour route or choose one of our pre-designed packages, we will be able to provide a private tour for you.

Scientists say the campaign planned for xxmand xx will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the worlds most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealands Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in xx with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealands technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in xx and xx will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally wed do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”63. According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia ?A. They were attracted there by wildlife. B. They escaped there from Campbell Island.C. They were introduced there by sailors accidently.D. They were brought in by people deliberately.64. Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ?A. He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.B. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.D. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island.65. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _.A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn.B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time.C. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife.D. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.66. What can we infer from the passage?. A. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time. B. Rats arent the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife. C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didnt make great achievements. D. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island.DEvery school has an ugly girl. In my primary school, it was me.From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic(整形外科的)shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step.“Hey, Bigfoot!”“Geez, youre going to start an earthquake!”Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool.“Four eyes!”“Couldnt you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?”In Seventh, I started peting on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face. Wrong again. I loved being fast and winning ribbons now and then, but now I had red, wet eyes from the chlorine(氯) in the pool. I also did not develop a killer body.I changed my strategy at Eighth grade, the last year of middle school. I offered my help to anyone who needs. I worked for other girls, so they could hang out with their friends. My new progr
