• 2．What are martial （武术的） arts and swordsmen like？To most Chinese，the answer to this question can be found in the works of the late novelist Jin Yong.Jin，whose real name was Zha Liangyong，died on Tuesday evening in 2018 in Hong Kong，aged 94.The news soon spread all over Chinese mainland，where he inspired a generation，guiding them into the world of Wu xia，namely，swordsmen.
     In his books，readers can learn about Chinese calligraphy （书法），painting，music，medicine and wine.He was one of the most successful writers in popularizing traditional Chinese culture.Chinese people had a deeply-rooted admiration for noble qualities and love for the country.So he won many people's heart.Many people are fond of watching films and TV dramas adapted from his books，which influenced many people's personality and value.
     Jin's influence has no national boundary.No matter in New York，Singapore or Vancouver，where there are Chinese，there are his readers.His death marks the end of an era for martial art novels.We can hardly expect to see other writers with such influence and artistic achievement as him.
     In terms of writing technique，Jin borrowed from Western plays.Some of his plots were just like ancient Greek tragedy.For instance，in his DemiGods and SemiDevils （《天龙八部》），the hero was like a tragic figure in Greek mythology.Writers in the West created new worlds like the one in The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.If there is an imagined world in China，that is the world with martial arts and swordsmen Jin wrote for us.

• 4．Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
     A recent study suggests that preterm（早产的） babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.Experts led by Dr.Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta，Canada，found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
     Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help recover from brain injuries.As a different and effective treatment，doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions.When people with neurological（神经系统的） disorders hear a musical beat，it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
     Though music cannot make deafness disappear，it really can stave off the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians.Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians，and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician，even in a noisy environment.
     Besides，music mends a broken heart.It is not about a thrown-away love，but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure，slowing down the heartbeat rate，and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions，improves the movement of blood，and expands blood vessels，thus，promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular（心血管的） system.
  
  （1）How does music affect preterm babies？

  
  A．It helps reduce their pain.
  B．It helps develop their potential in music.
  C．It helps improve their hearing systems.
  D．It helps repair their neurological systems.
  （2）What does the underlined phrase "stave off" in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese？

  
  A．导致
  B．增强
  C．延缓
  D．促进
  （3）Why can music mend a broken heart？

  
  A．It has a positive effect on human body systems' work.
  B．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
  C．It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
  D．It can help patients recover in a slow way.
  （4）What may be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Who can benefit from music.
  B．The best time to listen to music.
  C．The way to choose quality music.
  D．How music affects our mind and body.
