is it a miracle or a successful form of medicine? can listening to music relieve pain? around the world，music therapy(疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain，such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments，or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or money loss. music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat. why is music a useful therapy? music is soothing and relaxingbut it also stimulates our brains. emotionally and physically, we respond to the sounds of music. but the complexity of music(the different tempos，rhythms，melodies and harmonies) provokes(激发)the biggest response. thus，classical music is most typically used for therapies due to complex sounds and patterns. although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to，its unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people，helping relieve stress and anxiety have scientists been able to prove that music can heal disease? music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release endorphins(内啡肽). endorphins are the bodys natural painkillers，and when we listen to music，our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. it has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the babies who have just been born and even babies still in the mothers womb. certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a persons heart rate. many people are hopeful that music could replace the need for some medications(药物)that are normally used to treat certain illnesses. at present，music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals，rehabilitation centers，nursing homes，day cares，and schools. although music therapy is not yet considered a mainstream treatment，it is recognized more and more as a useful addition to traditional treatment. so next time you are feeling low or stressed out，put on some relaxing music and let the music heal you.title : music that (1)_the (2) _ of music therapyto treat different medical conditions and illnessesto reduce painto (5) _ brain activityto overcome(6) _ .how does music therapy (3) _?music is soothing and relaxing; it stimulates our brains; classical music is a(7) _due to its complex sounds and patterns. playing a musical instrument is also useful in (8) _ stress and anxiety.scientific proofsmusic has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. it has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the (9) _ babies. certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a persons heart rate.(4) _ music therapy is recognized as a useful (10) _to traditional treatment.1 heals 2 usesapplication 3 work 4 conclusion 5 stimulate 6 disabilities 7 favoritepreference 8 relieving 9 newborn 10 addition任务型阅读（a）the statement, “you can do anything you put your mind to,” leads us to believe that all you must do is imagine what youd like to accomplish, set your mind to the task, and wait for successto a certain degree this is truefocused intention combined with action is a powerful forcebut the statement is misleading because it fails to mention the difficulty and necessity of focusing your mind on a special goalmost of us dont know what we wantwe think we do, but we really dontwe only know what we dont wantwe dont want a boring jobwe dont want to be poorwe dont want to disappoint our loved onesknowing specially what you want is much different from knowing what you dont wantwhen you only know what you dont, your intentions arent focusedconsider this examplepete doesnt want to be poorhes sick of earning less than his friends, and hes determined to raise his positionto accomplish this goal, pete could take many different pathshe could train for a high paying professionhe could start his own company, go into real estate, or do many other things that would lead to acquiring wealthbut pete isnt sure what he wants to dohe doesnt know which path best fits his skills and personally, so he doesnt make a decision to follow any particular pathhoping to answer this question, he investigates a dozen possibilities, but as soon as he runs into adversity（困难）, he decides that path isnt for him and moves on to a new solutionpetes actions arent focusedalthough he works very hard, his efforts dont build on each other rather than building one giant impenetrable（不可进入的）sand castle, pete has built twenty small ones that are easily toppled （倒塌）he ends up confused and discouragedwhats worse, petes lack of focus leads to failurewhat if pete had chosen a specific path?a set of specific goals is much easier to achieve than a vague ultimate goal like becoming wealthybeing focused on a path gives pete a logical set of actions to followeach accomplishment is one step closer to the final goali think we can all agree that committing to a clearly defined path, regardless of which one, gives pete the best chance of becoming wealthybut how can he choose a path if he doesnt know what he wants?
