根据短文理解选择正确答案。
C
If
music
makes
you
smarter
and exercise
helps
you
to
think,
surely exercising
to
music
can
turn you into a clever
person.
A team of
scientists from Ohio State University did
experiments on 33 volunteers who were
getting better from heart disease after
operations. They found those volunteers who
exercised
while
listening
to
Italian
musician
Antonio
Vivaldi's
The
Four
Seasons
did
much
better
on
language ability tests
than without music. It is also used in medical
fields for patients who have
had head
hurts because of its moderate tempo
（舒缓的节拍）
.
“Exercise seems to
cause positive changes in the nerve
（神经）
system and these
changes
may
improve
the
learning
ability
of
people
with
heart
disease,”
said
the
psychologist
Ch
arles
Emery,
who led the study. “And listening to music is
thought to
enhance understanding. We
just
wanted to put the two results
together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally
and physically after exercising with or without
music.
But
their
improvement
on
the
test
doubled
after
listening
to
music
during
exercise.
Scientists have
proved that music can be good for health and
education. It helps reduce stress
and
sadness,
encourage
relaxation
or
sleep,
wake
up
the
body
and
improve
memory
and
thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the
results of exercise to music on learning and
understanding
since the early 1950s. A
study showed that students who listened to
Mozart's violin pieces and
exercised
went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With
important exams drawing near, your
parents will not probably allow you to
listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now
you have
good reasons to argue with
them.

One day, when I arrived
at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the
schoolyard. Ice cream
men usually drove
their trucks to primary schools. I had never
thought one ice cream truck would
come
to bring ice cream to us older kids. When I went
up to the truck, I was quite surprised to
hear the man call out,
you

After I was certain
that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I
talked with him for a long
time. He
told me that his dream was to travel around,
giving away ice cream, and that's what he
was now doing. With his mother's
support, he kept doing what he loved even during
hard times.
Now, some large companies
were helping him with his plan.
The man said he wanted to encourage
people to do exactly what their hearts told them
to do
during their lives. I kept asking
him,
cream? It seems like a very
unusual goal.

handed me my ice cream. I thanked him, but what I
got from him was

big love.

I felt very sad not to
be able to get the ticket to the film Titanic last

30 p.m., the only
time I could go to the cinema was
during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that
the cinema is
on the other side of the
town, and the bus service between my office and
Richland Hills is not
very good. But if
you are lucky, you can make the
round
（往返）
trip in 45
minutes.
Last Monday I
stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting
for a bus. By the time I saw one
coming
around the corner, there was not enough time left
to make the trip-so I had to go back to
the office. The same thing happened on
Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a
bus
right away and arrived at the
cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I
found a long line
of people at the box
office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in
line for fifty-five minutes.
I found
that I would not have enough time to wait in line.
I caught the next bus and went back
across the town.
Then on Friday I understood my only hope was to
make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I
felt it would be worthwhile to see the
film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it
felt like
one hour to me. When I
reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that
nobody was waiting in
line. But I
quickly found out that it was because they had
already sold out all the tickets.
