Walking music is any type of music that a person uses to help him or her walk and maintain a steady pace and rhythm during exercise.　1　 If someone is not interested in the workout and is walking to enjoy the scenery or just to get outside, then music could also be chosen.
The music chosen as walking music will usually be music that he or she finds especially motivating.This may not be as fast-paced as music chosen for running.　2　 How it is chosen will depend a great deal on the musical preferences of a person.
　3　 Someone else, however, may find such music too relaxing and prefer modern rock and roll, jazz, and hip-hop.Regardless of the actual music itself, the intention is for a person to find music that helps him or her keep feet moving.Thus, the exercise becomes easier and requires less focus.
This is especially helpful for someone to increase the effectiveness of walking as a form of exercise.In this type of situation, a person might choose walking music that allows him or her to disappear into the music and not focus on the act of walking.　4　
Someone else, however, might choose walking music that motivates him or her to push himself or herself harder and walk faster or for greater distances.　5　 It could be intended to get someone psychologically more excited for an intense workout.
A.Thus, they will like walking.
B.This type of music may be more intense.
C.People will get used to walking music soon.
D.The choice of walking music is usually a fairly personal one.
E.This can make him or her not feel any aching muscles or weariness.
F.This type of music may often be used for other types of exercise and activity as well.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
During my senior year in college I came across “Private Voice Instruction”.As in singing lessons, I thought, “Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try ”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn’t want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the term when my singing professor brought the shocking news.“By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital (演唱会) ”
“That would not be a good idea,” I said.The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick.
“Courage, Sean.” I kept rehearsing in my mind.“You’ve got to at least try.”
That dreaded day finally arrived.As I stood in front of the class, all eyes fell upon me.I couldn’t help but think, “How How in the world did I get myself into this situation ”
Even before I reached the second line, the expressions of excitement on the students’ faces turned to anguish (痛苦).I was so nervous that my body felt as tight as jeans just pulled from the dryer.

Music Therapy
Music therapy (疗法) is a form of therapy which utilises music.　1　
Humans have been making music for thousands of years, and many doctors throughout history have proved the idea that music is beneficial to the mind and body, in addition to being enjoyable.
　2　 Listening to and making music appears to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and provide people with a sense of calmness, safety, or security.
　3　 Most practitioners have studied psychology or psychiatry (精神病学) along with music.Music therapists work in hospitals, clinics, residential facilities, private practices, and homes.
Some specific applications for music therapy include: pain management, stress management, behavioural therapy, treatment for substance abuse, and work with people who have developmental disabilities.　4　 And they can include a variety of things, from listening to a piece of music and talking about the feelings it evokes (激发) to playing an instrument or writing songs as a method of personal expression.
Like other expressive therapies such as art therapy and dance therapy, the focus of music therapy is not on the end product, such as a musical composition, and people do not need to have prior experience with music to benefit from this type of therapy.　5　
A.This type of therapy has a number of benefits.
B.The measures are tailored to the needs of the patient.
C.People can practise music therapy in a variety of ways.
D.This type of therapy may involve making music or listening to music.
E.But there are still many fields of music therapy needing to be changed.
F.What is more focused on is the process of listening to, creating, or thinking about music.
G.In the 20th century, the practice of music therapy improved as researchers conducted studies to learn how music acted on the brain and body.

The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way.Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.
Depression (抑郁) is a disease caused by stress, smoking, social problems and so on.Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business.Depression may bring us weakness, headaches, and loss of concentration.Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days.If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences.And such good feelings make you healthy.
Anxiety (焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music.Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast.Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pain from these diseases and you feel all right.
Good music can send you to sleep.And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition.Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.

　3　 Someone else, however, may find such music too relaxing and prefer modern rock and roll, jazz, and hip-hop.Regardless of the actual music itself, the intention is for a person to find music that helps him or her keep feet moving.Thus, the exercise becomes easier and requires less focus.
This is especially helpful for someone to increase the effectiveness of walking as a form of exercise.In this type of situation, a person might choose walking music that allows him or her to disappear into the music and not focus on the act of walking.　4　
Someone else, however, might choose walking music that motivates him or her to push himself or herself harder and walk faster or for greater distances.　5　 It could be intended to get someone psychologically more excited for an intense workout.
A.Thus, they will like walking.
B.This type of music may be more intense.
C.People will get used to walking music soon.
D.The choice of walking music is usually a fairly personal one.
E.This can make him or her not feel any aching muscles or weariness.
F.This type of music may often be used for other types of exercise and activity as well.
G.For one person, classical music such as the works of Beethoven or Mozart may be excellent walking music.

During my senior year in college I came across “Private Voice Instruction”.As in singing lessons, I thought, “Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try ”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn’t want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the term when my singing professor brought the shocking news.“By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital (演唱会) ”
“That would not be a good idea,” I said.The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick.
“Courage, Sean.” I kept rehearsing in my mind.“You’ve got to at least try.”
That dreaded day finally arrived.As I stood in front of the class, all eyes fell upon me.I couldn’t help but think, “How How in the world did I get myself into this situation ”
Even before I reached the second line, the expressions of excitement on the students’ faces turned to anguish (痛苦).I was so nervous that my body felt as tight as jeans just pulled from the dryer.
Near the end of the song is a really high note.I don’t recall if I hit that note or missed it.All I remember is that a few students were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even look at me.
I finished and sat down quickly.Silence.No one knew what to say.
But do you know what Although that experience nearly killed me, when I left that classroom, I was so proud of myself.I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment, and I frankly didn’t care what anyone else thought about my high note.I had survived and I was proud of it.

Music Therapy
Music therapy (疗法) is a form of therapy which utilises music.　1　
Humans have been making music for thousands of years, and many doctors throughout history have proved the idea that music is beneficial to the mind and body, in addition to being enjoyable.
　2　 Listening to and making music appears to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and provide people with a sense of calmness, safety, or security.
　3　 Most practitioners have studied psychology or psychiatry (精神病学) along with music.Music therapists work in hospitals, clinics, residential facilities, private practices, and homes.
Some specific applications for music therapy include: pain management, stress management, behavioural therapy, treatment for substance abuse, and work with people who have developmental disabilities.　4　 And they can include a variety of things, from listening to a piece of music and talking about the feelings it evokes (激发) to playing an instrument or writing songs as a method of personal expression.
Like other expressive therapies such as art therapy and dance therapy, the focus of music therapy is not on the end product, such as a musical composition, and people do not need to have prior experience with music to benefit from this type of therapy.　5　
A.This type of therapy has a number of benefits.
B.The measures are tailored to the needs of the patient.
C.People can practise music therapy in a variety of ways.
D.This type of therapy may involve making music or listening to music.
E.But there are still many fields of music therapy needing to be changed.
F.What is more focused on is the process of listening to, creating, or thinking about music.
G.In the 20th century, the practice of music therapy improved as researchers conducted studies to learn how music acted on the brain and body.

“If music is the medicine of the soul, let it play on,” said a famous person.I think he said so because probably he got some help from music.Music has some strange abilities.Medical scientists have found that a person who feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.
The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way.Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.
Depression (抑郁) is a disease caused by stress, smoking, social problems and so on.Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business.Depression may bring us weakness, headaches, and loss of concentration.Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days.If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences.And such good feelings make you healthy.
Anxiety (焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music.Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast.Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pain from these diseases and you feel all right.
Good music can send you to sleep.And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition.Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.
( )4.What do you know about music according to the famous person in Paragraph 1
A.Music can treat many kinds of diseases.
B.Music can help you keep healthy in your mind.
