Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night？If so, here is a piece of advice for you：Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity(量). This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. So music can help us fall asleep better, wake up less during the night and feel more relaxed in the morning. You may not notice the effects (功效) overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better？The reasons aren't clear yet. It may connect with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate (心率) and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats (节拍) per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm. com. And remember to get volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down, or you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It's very important to get enough highquality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland.
63. It is found that soft music can ____ sleep.
A. help people of all ages
B. only help people under the age of 15
C. only help people with sleeping problems
D. only help people who are experiencing lots of stress
64. According to the article, it may take as long as ____ before you notice the effects of soft music.
A. 3 hours B. 3 nights
C. 3 weeks D. 3 months
65. How can we work out how many beats a song has in a minute?
A. By comparing it with a 70bpm song.
B. By entering the song's title into songbpm. com.
C. By finding out whether it can help us fall asleep.
D. By counting heart rates while you are listening to the song.
66. What is the article mainly about?
A. People with sleeping problems.
B. The role of music in our daily lives.
C. How soft music can improve our sleep.
D. The importance of getting enough sleep.

Albrecht Dürer was a great German artist. Among his famous works, one has always made people moved—Praying Hands.
Albrecht was born in a poor family. There were eighteen children in the family. In order to feed this big family, Albrecht's father worked hard day and night. Albrecht and his brother Albert showed great interest in art. They both wanted to be artists, but they knew well that their parents couldn't pay for both of them to attend an art school.
The two brothers came up with an idea one night. They would toss(掷) a coin, and the loser of the toss would have to work in the coalmines(煤矿)to support his brother during his studies. The winning brother would complete the studies in four years and then help the other one do the same.
Albrecht won the toss and went to art school. Four years passed. Albrecht became a very famous artist and made a lot of money from his works. It was time for Albert to go to art school. But he couldn't learn to paint anymore because his hands were out of shape after years of hard work.
Albrecht was very thankful for his brother. So he drew Praying Hands to honor(纪念)his brother Albert.
The next time you see a copy of this creation, take a second look. Remember the things others may have done for your success in life.

三、 Country music usually talks about everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America and easy to understand. It's also slow and simple. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops and death.
The life in the countryside is usually hard, so the words in country music are often sad. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.
John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is well known and people still play it today.
四、 If someone asks me, “Do you like music？” I am sure I will answer him or her, “Of course, I do. ” Because I think music is an important part of our lives.
Different people have different ideas about music. For me, I like rock music because it's so exciting. And my favourite rock band, the “Foxy Ladies”， is one of the most famous rock bands in the world. I also like pop music. My classmate Li Lan loves dance music, because she enjoys dancing. My best friend, Jane, likes jazz music. She thinks jazz is really cool. “I like dance music and rock music very much, ” says my brother, “because they are amazing. ” But my mother thinks rock music is boring. “I like some relaxing music, ” she says. That is why she likes country music, I think.

十、Dear Jane,
I'm sorry to hear that you often feel bored and awful. Now let me give you some suggestions on how to choose music to relax.
I think you should choose to listen to light music. Light music sounds beautiful. It can make you feel relaxed. However, don't listen to music for too long. If you listen to music for too long, it will make you tired. Besides, if you listen to music with headphones on, it's bad for your ears. Of all the music, I think absolute music is the best. It doesn't have complicated lyrics. Its beautiful melody will make you fall in love with it.
I hope these ways can help you. With my best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

And remember to get volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down, or you may be woken up by the sudden silence.

Albrecht Dürer was a great German artist. Among his famous works, one has always made people moved—Praying Hands.
Albrecht was born in a poor family. There were eighteen children in the family. In order to feed this big family, Albrecht's father worked hard day and night. Albrecht and his brother Albert showed great interest in art. They both wanted to be artists, but they knew well that their parents couldn't pay for both of them to attend an art school.
The two brothers came up with an idea one night. They would toss(掷) a coin, and the loser of the toss would have to work in the coalmines(煤矿)to support his brother during his studies. The winning brother would complete the studies in four years and then help the other one do the same.
Albrecht won the toss and went to art school. Four years passed. Albrecht became a very famous artist and made a lot of money from his works. It was time for Albert to go to art school. But he couldn't learn to paint anymore because his hands were out of shape after years of hard work.
Albrecht was very thankful for his brother. So he drew Praying Hands to honor(纪念)his brother Albert.
The next time you see a copy of this creation, take a second look. Remember the things others may have done for your success in life.

三、 Country music usually talks about everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America and easy to understand. It's also slow and simple. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops and death.

十、Dear Jane,
I'm sorry to hear that you often feel bored and awful. Now let me give you some suggestions on how to choose music to relax.
I think you should choose to listen to light music. Light music sounds beautiful. It can make you feel relaxed. However, don't listen to music for too long. If you listen to music for too long, it will make you tired. Besides, if you listen to music with headphones on, it's bad for your ears. Of all the music, I think absolute music is the best. It doesn't have complicated lyrics. Its beautiful melody will make you fall in love with it.
I hope these ways can help you. With my best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
