They found that people who exercised while listening to The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music.Facts suggest that exercise improve the learning ability of people with heart problems, said the scientist Charles Emery, who led the study. And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together. he added.The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have shown it is true that music can be good for health. It helps cut down stress, sadness and nervousness. And it also wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had headaches before and after operation. The Four Seasons was used because of its soft tempo(节拍) and better results in earlier research.Exercise seems to cause better changes in the nervous system and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability. Emery said. Scientists have been studying the result of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 1990, scientists were using Mozarts music to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting. A study showed students who listened to Mozart scored higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams coming, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.（1）The underlined word enhance in the third paragraph probably means _. A . explainB . improveC . provideD . produce（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the article? A . Exercise seems to cause worse changes without music.B . Scientists often use Mozarts music for it is not too exciting.C . The Four Seasons is often used to help children with speech disorders.D . The purpose of the test was to make clear if music is helpful to learning ability.（3）We can infer(推断) from the last paragraph that _. A . we are supposed to follow our parents wordsB . students should not listen to music before examsC . we have some good reasons to exercise to musicD . music can probably help us to get higher grades in tests（4）The article mainly talks about that _. A . music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleepB . thirty-three volunteers work on music in medical fieldC . exercising to music makes people healthy and cleverD . scientists give suggestions on choosing music while exercising4. （10分）阅读理解 Tom?

It began in 1930 when an American farmer went to Spain to help people in need. These people often went hungry in the war. That framer, Dan West, tried to use milk to feed these hungry people.
