5、 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成下列各题。
If music makes you smart and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a person who is better at learning and understanding.
A team of scientists from a university did tests on 33 volunteers. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons did much better in a language ability test than those without music.The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to the music during exercise. "Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system and have a direct effect on learning ability," said the scientist Charles Emery. Scientists have found that music can be good for health and education. It helps relieve stress, sadness and nervousness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thinking.
Scientists have been using Mozart's music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disabilities. Mozart is often chosen because his music is not over-exciting. A study showed students who often exercise to Mozart's music get higher marks in tests. With important exams drawing near, your parents will probably not allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.

6、 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Someone Like You was popular with millions of people. The slow and emotional beats help deal with the pain of heartbreak and loss. There is no doubt that music can calm you down, and it could also be a medicine for treating physical pain. A new study showed listening to favourite songs could reduce people's feelings of pain, and the sad songs were the most useful.
Researchers invited 63 adults to bring two songs. One was their favourite, and the other was the song they would bring with them on an island. Then the researchers also asked the adults to pick one of the songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the adults.
In one group, each person was asked to look at a screen while listening to their favourite song, one relaxing song or a mixture of their two songs and the relaxing song. The other group was asked to sit in silence. All the while, the researchers put a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin—on the participants' left arms.
When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favourite songs compared with listening to the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The mixture did not reduce pain, which might mean music was more than a distraction from an unpleasant experience. After interviewing the participants about the songs they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found that people who listened to sad songs felt less pain.
Music provides many other health benefits, including stress reduction and a good night's sleep.
