Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music u
A. moving some part of their body
B. stopping what they are doing to listen
C. directing the orchestra playing it
D. wishing that they could conduct music properly

Passage One
As one works with color in a practical or experimental way, one is impressed by two apparently unrelated facts. Color as seen is a mobile changeable thing depending to a large extent on the relationship of the color to other colores seen simultaneously. It is not fixed in its relation to the direct stimulus which creates it. On the other hand, the properties of surfaces that give rise to color do not seem to change greatly under a wide variety of illumination colors, usually (but not always) looking much the same in artificial light as in daylight. Both of these effects seem to the due in large part to the mechanism of color adaptation mentioned earlier.
When the eye is fixed on a colored area, there is an immediate readjustment of the sensitivity of the eye to color in and around the area viewed. This
A. the eye’s adaptation to color
B. the properties of colored surfaces
C. the effect of changes in color intensity
D. experiments on colored objects

Some people would say that the Englishman’s home is
no longer his castle, and that it has become his workshop. This is partly
because the average Englishman is keen on working with his own hands and partly
because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many
households for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The
main reason for this is a financial one. The high cost of labor has meant that
builders’ and decorators’ cost have reached a level which makes them prohibitive
for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their
houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and
decorating themselves. As a result, there has grown up in the post-war years
what is sometimes referred to as the "do-it-yourself movement".
The "do-it-yourse
A. they are skilled handymen
B. they are proud of their houses
C. they can’t afford professional help
D. they are mean
[单项选择] Passage Two
Some years ago industries had more
freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must
today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products
that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and
safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for
the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad
effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there
were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which
showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health
of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At
such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the
problems. New safety rules were often intr
A. conditions in the work place
B. the freedom of industries in the past
C. changes in industrial production
D. the safety and health of workers and customers

Some 23 million additional U.S. residents are
expected to become more regular users of the U.S. health care system in the next
several years, thanks to the passage of health care reform.Digitizing medical
data has been promoted as one way to help the already burdened system manage the
surge in patients. But putting people’s health information in databases and
online is going to do more than simply reduce redundancies. It is already
shifting the very way we seek and receive health care.
"The
social dynamics of care are changing," says John Gomez, vice president of
Eclipsys, a medical information technology company. Most patients might not yet
be willing to share their latest CT scan images over Facebook, he notes, but
many parents post their babies’ ultrasound images, and countless patients
nowadays use social networking sites t
A. refuses to follow their doctors’ advice
B. be more dependent on their doctors
C. leave out their visit to doctors’ offices and hospitals
D. have their health conditions examined through e-mail
