6、Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose you are a secretary of the magazine CR（Crazy English Reader）, for each one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter（A-F）on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.

1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.

2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!” It’s good stuff! Fantastic!

3. I’m one of Yao’s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.

4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!

5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the position of the paper e.g., 總編 責(zé)任編輯 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.

A．   Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it’s good to look up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.

B．   The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer.

C．The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046

D．  Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you.

E．   Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.

F．   Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We always try to include articles that reflect real life. It’s our hope that CR will not only improve student’s English but also open up a different worldview.

5、Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. He was a natural motivator. He told people how to look on the positive side of the situation.

One day I went up to Michael and asked him, " How can you be a positive person all of the time?"

Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."

"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."

Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital. I saw Michael about six months after the accident.

"She asked if I was allergic（過敏的）to anything.”

4、Michele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill.

When she was only fourteen, Michel was already so interested in the differences in her school friends’ handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college she went to France for a special two-year class to learn how to analyze handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she began her work for the Quebec police.

Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise（偽裝）their handwriting. She can discover most of what she needs to know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes, but she also has machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink. This knowledge is often of help to the police.

Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. “I wouldn’t go out with a fellow if I didn’t like his handwriting,” she says. But she adds that she fell in love with her future husband, William Smith before she studied his handwriting. It later proved to be all right, however.

3、If music makes you smarter, and exercise helps brain function, can exercising to music really boost brainpower? Some researchers said it could.

Volunteers who listened to Vivaldi~ "Four Seasons" while working out on a treadmill did much better on a test of verbal ability than when they exercised without music, a team at Ohio State University found. "Evidence suggests that exercise improves the cognitive（認(rèn)知）performance of people with coronary artery disease（冠心�。�," said psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. "And listening to music is thought to enhance brainpower. We wanted to put the two results together," Emery added in a statement.

Writing in the latest issue of the journal Heart & Lung, Emery and colleagues said they studied 33 men and women taking part in a cardiac（強(qiáng)心劑）rehabilitation program（康復(fù)計(jì)劃）after having bypass surgery,  angioplasty or other procedures to treat clogged（障礙的）arteries.  The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and mentally after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the verbal fluency test doubled after listening to music on the treadmills（跑步機(jī)）.”Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system, and these changes may have a direct effect on cognitive ability," Emery said.  "Listening to music may influence cognitive function through different pathways in the brain. The combination of music and exercise may stimulate and increase cognitive arousal（覺醒）while helping to organize cognitive output."

Emery said he now wanted to test people using music of their own choice. "We used The Four Seasons' because of its moderate tempo and positive effects on medical patients in previous research," Emery said. "But given the range of music preferences among patients, it's especially important to evaluate the influence of other types of music on cognitive outcomes."

41. The underlined expression" the two results"（para2）refers to _

A. verbal ability and coronary artery disease

B. the two results of men and women taking part in a cardiac rehabilitation program

C. exercise improves the cognitive performance and listening to music enhances brainpower

D. cognitive performance and coronary artery disease

42. According to the latest issue of the journal Heart & Lung, which of the following is tree?

A. The volunteers only didn't feel better mentally after working out with out the music.

B. Improvement on the verbal fluency（言辭流利）can be achieved by working out with the music.

C. improvement on the verbal fluency can be achieved by working out without the music.

D. The volunteers only felt better emotionally and mentally after working out with the music.

43. If we can combine music and exercise, we can __       

A. stimulate and increase cognitive arousal while have difficulty in organizing cognitive output

B. neither stimulate and increase cognitive arousal nor help to organize cognitive output

C. help to organize cognitive output at the expense of cognitive arousal

D. stimulate and increase cognitive arousal as well as help to organize cognitive output

44. We can infer that Emery's next step will be

A. to let the volunteers to listen to music of their own choice

B. to choose volunteers of different ages

C. to let the volunteers to listen to moderate tempo music

D. to test whether music can help recovery

45. The best title of this passage is __           

A. Music's Function in Helping Recovery

B. Exercising to Music Pumps up Brain Power

C. "Four Seasons" Helps Cognitive Output

D. Always Music
