Some people think that singing can lift our spirits ( 情 緒 ), while some other people don’t think so. They don’t like singing and they think singing can never make them happy. I do think singing can make us feel good, and it can lift our spirits. Let me tell you more about that.

Some researchers ( 研 究 者 ) once did some surveys and proved it. The surveys show that singing can bring a lot of health benefits (益處). If you sing with your friends, the effects may be even better.

John Lennon was once a teacher of Vocal Performance ( 聲 樂 表 演 ) at Emporia State University. He says, “Singing is an inborn (天生的) need. Babies sing to themselves and they seem so happy. Like babies, when we sing, we feel so good and singing makes us feel even better. I like singing and I am happy every day.”

Music is a part of human nature. And singing is a form of expression that can be understood by everyone. Some people say that music is like a kind of language. The language can show people’s opinions and attitudes(態(tài)度) to their life. Some songs can cheer people up when they are in trouble. Some songs can make people happy and excited. That’s why the TV show The Voice of China is so popular with people.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使驚恐) me so much．There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗簾) seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important t o me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes (過程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

1.________would scare the writer at night.

A．Streetlight and car lights

B．Wild animals and enemies

C．Moving curtains and wind

D．Strange sights and sounds

2.When she went to some other places, she would________.

A．walk away without others

B．take a bus by herself

C．follow others closely

D．make sure not to take a wrong bus

3.Which of the following statements would be possibly TRUE when she was a child?

A．She thought being popular among people was important.

B．She was always the leader of the others.

C．She always got poor grades.

D．She was not at all liked by others.
