morning when the alarm rings in my ears. i roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. i turn on the light and put on my glasses. the house is still as i walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. usually i go for a long run, but today i choose my favorite exercise dvd：insanity. sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. my heart races as i face my body to finish each movement. as i near the end of the exercise ，i feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. its not a smile because the dvd is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate. but i need exercise to get through each day. some shake heads when they see me run through the town. others get hurt when i refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. they raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. over the years , i have learned its okay to just say “no.” i shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that i dont want to eat.so what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? what gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? commitment. a commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. this is the point where a smile appears on my face as i look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. its through commitment and sweat that i can make a difference within myself inside and out.21. why is there a smile on the authors face in the morning?a. because she sees her family sleeping peacefully. b. because she feels a sense of achievement.c. because she enjoys the interesting dvd. d. because she finishes her favorite exercise.22. what does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?a. firm belief b. good health c. a strong power d. a regular habit23. what can we learn about the author from the text?a. she acts in a strange way b. she wants to look different from othersc. she aims to develop a good body shape d. she has difficulty getting along with othersban estimated 80 percent of american adults think music lessons, though at times boring and challenging in the eyes of some kids, improve childrens ability to learn or their performance in school . they say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.researchers at harvard university , however, have found that theres one thing musical training does not do. samuel mehr, the leading researcher of the new study, said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a childs intellectual development. the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. one group attended music class; the comparison group went to a class that places importance on the optical arts-arts that can be seen.“we found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes,” said mehr.samuel mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in iq, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.he does not believe that iq is a good measure of a childs intelligence. therefore, the researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life, but the training is still important.mr mehr notes that the works of writer william shakespeare are not taught , so the children will do better in physics. he says shakespeare is taught because it is important for cultural reasons.“and i dont think music needs to be any different than that.”24. what attitude do most american grown-ups have towards music lessons?a. approving b.uninterestedc. doubtfuld. uncertain25. the underlined word“optical”in paragraph 2 probably means .a.seriousb. colorfulc. traditionald. visual26. how did samuel mehr draw his conclusion in the new study?a. by studying previous research resultsb. by measuring the iq of the kids.c. by comparing two different groupsd. by referring to some documents27. according to samuel mehr,_ .a. many studies show that music training can improve iqb. iq is a good measure of a childs intelligencec. music can enable a child to go to a better schoold. music should be taught for cultural reasons cbeing
