8.Everyone enjoys music but did you know it could improve the lives of sick kids?A famous musician once said music could change the world!In fact in Australia,a scientist,Catherine,has made a music program that's been putting smiles on the faces of kids in hospitals across the country."It can make you happy,it can make you sad,it can make you want to get up and dance,and it can make you feel good and take away any stress(壓力),"said Catherine.
For thousands of years people have believed that music has a great effect(效果) on both the mind and the body,but it was only about 70years ago that scientists began to study its medical effects.At that time,doctors and nurses found that playing music in hospitals helped sick soldiers feel better.Since then it's been used to help people with brain problems learn to speak again and help other patients feel less pain and sadness.It's even been used to help kids in schools get better marks because it allows them to relax and pay more attention.
Now music is being used in a special program called Music Therapy(治療).It helps people improve their life in many different ways by using music.It can include:listening to music,playing instruments,singing,song writing,action songs and games.
Sophia is eleven.She got bone cancer five months ago,but playing music,learning new songs and singing have become a part of her life."It takes my mind off feeling sick.While I am listening to music,it tells me not to give up hope.It feels like soon my life will turn around and I will be strong again."
It seems that a few minutes of music a day can help keep the doctor away!

65.Who is Catherine?She is a scientist.
66.Can music help children to get better marks at school?Yes,it can.
67.What is Music Therapy?Music is being used in a special program called Music Therapy
68.How does Sophia feel during her Music Therapy?She feels like soon her life will turn around and she will be strong again

16.Ellen Sims is an 18-year-old college student.She has an important history exam tomorrow morning.Ellen is going to study all night.She is not going to sleep at all.Many college students,like Ellen,do this often.They think that they can study all night.And they think that in the morning,they will remember everything that they studied the night before,Ellen thinks that this is a good way to study,but many doctors disagree.They say that sleep is very important for memory and brain development.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School in the US studied sleep and memory.They studied 24people.First,they asked the people to look at a picture and remember it.At night,they put the people in two groups of 12.Group One went to sleep.Group Two did not.A few days later,the scientists showed some pictures to both groups.They asked the people to find the picture they saw before.The people in Group One did well.But the people in Group Two did not do well.It wasn't easy for them to remember the picture.What happened?Scientists say that sleep helps our memory.After we learn something new,sleep helps us remember it.And when we don't sleep,we can forget new things.
Scientists say that many teenagers,like Ellen,sleep too little.They go to school and they work,too.They also spend time with their friends.They are always busy and they think that sleep doesn't matter.But scientists say the brains of teenagers are still developing,and sleep is a very important part of the development.When teens sleep less than six hours,they can't think clearly.That is not very helpful for a student who is taking an exam.

65.Is Ellen going to study all night before the history exam?Yes,she is
66.Who studied sleep and memory?Scientists at Harvard Medical School in the US
67.How many people were there in each group for this study?12 people
68.Why did Group One remember the picture better?Because sleep helped their memory./Because sleep helped them remember things
69.What can we learn from the passage?The brains of teenagers are still developing,and sleep is a very important part of the development./Sleep is very important for memory and brain development.

3.When we compare ourselves with great people,we feel very ordinary and unimportant.However,we must remember that those great people were extraordinary.The world has more than 6billion people,so it is difficult for all of us to be extraordinary.What can we do?We can try to be the best people that we can possibly be.
I think this means that we need to be honest and hard-working.We also need to be open-minded and kind to other people.Most importantly,we need to be ambitious (有雄心的).We need to always set goals for ourselves and work hard to achieve these goals.
Madam Curie and Thomas Edison were hard-working,kind and ambitious,and they worked hard to achieve their goals.Curie gave her life to"ease (減輕) human sufferings".Edison spent his life as an inventor.He invented a camera that showed movement.Later people used cameras to make modern films.
A famous writer from Ireland once wrote,"We are all in the gutter (社會底層) but some of us are looking at the stars."I often come up with this when I am unable to achieve something.It reminds me that we are all at a lower level and that we all have a higher goal to work towards.It makes me try to be the best person that I can possibly be.

65.What kind of people are called great people?The one who are extraordinary
66.Is it difficult for all of us to be extraordinary?Yes./Yes,it is
67.What did people use cameras to do later?To make modern films
68.What does the word"this"mean?The sentence of"We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars
69.What does this passage mainly tell us?How/In what way can we be extraordinary.
