A trial project by the Montreal Children's Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis(催眠)can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform medical-imaging imaging(医学影像) procedures.

“During the examination children don't move. It works perfectly. It's amazing,“ said Johanne  L'Ecuyer, a medical-imaging technologist at the hospital.

The project was inspired by a French team from Rouen University Hospital Centre where examinations are done under hypnosis instead of general anesthesia(麻醉）.

A French medical-imaging technologist-also a hypnotist — was invited to train a few members in the medical-imaging department of the children's hospital. In all, 80 examinations were conducted for the project between January and September, 2019, focusing on the imaging procedures that would cause anxiety.

Hypnosis is not a state of sleep: It is rather a modified(改变的)state of consciousness. The technologist will guide the patient to this modified state—an imaginary world that will disassociate itself more and more from the procedure that follows.

“The technologist must build up a story with the patient," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "The patient is left with the power to choose what he wants to talk about. Do you play sports? Do you like going to the beach? We establish a subject that we will discuss throughout the procedure."

Everything that happens next during the procedure must be related to this story — an injection （注射）becomes the bite of an insect; the heat on the skin becomes the sensation of the sun and a machine that rings becomes a police car passing nearby.

“The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the patient's body with what the patient sees in his head," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "It requires creativity on the part of the technologist, imagination, a lot of patience and kindness."

The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January. It spread like wildfire that someone from France was here to train the technologists,"  Ms. L'Ecuyer said. She added that she had a line of staff at her door wanting to take the training.

Passage A

Summertime is often filled with outdoor parties and food trucks, meaning you’re spending more time standing up and eating. But if you want to actually enjoy your meal, researchers say you’re better off finding a seat.

A new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research finds posture impacts taste perception (感知), with food tasting better when you’re sitting down. Dpayan Biswas, professor of marketing at the University of South Florida, found that holding a standing posture for even a few minutes leads to physical stress, muting taste perception. The force of gravity pushes blood to the lower parts of the body, causing the heart to work harder to pump blood back up to the top of the body, accelerating heart rate. When people experience discomfort, foods that normally taste good do not appear as pleasant to the tongue. Biswas confirmed his assumption by having 150 participants rate the taste of a pita chip. Those who were standing gave it a less favorable rating than those who were sitting in a chair.

Researchers then provided participants classic bite sized cakes baked at a local restaurant that were tested and widely considered pleasant tasting. Those who were sitting down rated them to be most delicious. However, when the baker changed the recipe and made the taste unpleasant by adding an extra cup of salt, the results were opposite. Participants standing up didn’t notice the cakes tasting saltier to that extent, and actually rated them to have a relatively more favorable taste perception than those who sampled them while sitting down.

“This finding suggests that parents might be able to make unpleasant-tasting, healthy foods seem more delicious to reluctant (不情愿的) children by having them eat standing up (vs. sitting down). Also it might be beneficial to maintain a standing posture when consuming medical products that have unpleasant tastes.”

In addition, the team tested posture’s impact on temperature perception. Participants were provided cups of hot coffee. Those standing up reported it not being as intense as those who were sitting down. However, they drank less than those sitting, suggesting physical stress suppresses appetite. Eating while standing can also help with long-term weight loss goals. Specifically, eating while standing (vs. sitting) leads to lower amount of consumption.

1. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Summer is the best season to enjoy tasty food.

B. Your posture influence your food perception.

C. You had better stand up when eating food.

D. Sitting down helps you enjoy your food.

2. Which of the following best explains “muting” underlined in paragraph 2?

A. encouraging B. approving

C. discouraging D. disapproving

3. According to the passage, how many experiments were conducted by Dipayan Biswas and his team?

A. 1.                  B. 2.               C. 3.                     D. 4.

4. A standing position while eating is especially beneficial to those except ________.

A. a girl who wants to keep slim

B. a couple who are enjoying their dinner

C. a child who is unwilling to take bitter pills

D. a mum whose children refuse to eat tasteless food

Passage B

A baby may fall back asleep at 2 am to a gentle song,but new music designed to help adults relax sounds rather different from Rock-a-bye Baby.

Boston-based start-up Sync Project uses biometrics (生物统计学) to play music that fits your mood.Its Unwind app measures your heart beat via your smartphone and uses these readings to play different songs by UK band Marconi Union.After listening,you take a brief survey on how relaxed you feel.

“Music can be used for everyday wellness as well as for clinical applications,” says Sync Project co-founder Ketki Karanam.The state of sleep and relaxation was an obvious place to start.“We decided to start by focusing on relaxation as we felt that was one area where people were using music to calm themselves down or relax,” she says.

As well as the Unwind app,the company plans to collect biometric data from attendees at an overnight performance of composer Max Richter’s 8-hour album Sleep,designed to help people nod off,in London next month.Concertgoers will be invited to wear activity-tracking OURA rings,which also measure heart rate and body temperature.In addition,the volunteers will wear the rings while going to sleep at home,with and without the help of Richter’s music.

By analyzing these readings,the Sync Project team finally aims to develop its own artificial intelligence-based tools that will use music to improve general well-being and even treat clinical conditions.

“Music has certain obvious ways it can excite or relax us,but there are limits and it certainly can’t replace real treatments,” says David Eagleman at Stanford University in California,who was an adviser to Richter on the Sleep album.

Music can help with insomnia (失眠症) or pain relief,says Kevin Morgan,director of the Clinical Sleep Research Unit at Loughborough University,UK.“That said,if the presenting insomnia is so ‘mild’ it can be effectively managed with Spotify (which gives you access to millions of songs),it’s unlikely to have been a major clinical problem in the first place,” he says.

1.What can users benefit from the Unwind app?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

A.Have a health check.           B.Prevent heart attack.

C.Fall asleep quickly.            D.Become calm.

2.What does the Sync Project team want to find by analyzing the biometric data?

A.How babies fall back to sleep quickly.

B.How music might affect sleep and relaxation.

C.How body temperature changes during the night.

D.How music tools help people appreciate music.

3.Which of the following does Kevin Morgan probably agree with?

A.Music only works on mild insomnia.

B.Insomnia isn’t a clinical condition at all.

C.Music can’t be used for clinical applications.

D.Mild insomnia cured by music doesn’t require medical help.
