• 3．People with dementia（癡呆）often lose their ability to communicate with beloved ones in later stages of the disease.But a new study shows how that gap can be bridged with a new method of music involvement，called"Musical Bridges to Memory".
     In the study，people with dementia and their care partners first had training in how to communicate better with music on.After this，a group of musicians played music that a patient loved from his younger days.This created an emotional connection between a patient and his caregiver by allowing them to get involved in singing，dancing and playing simple instruments.The behavior of the patients and caregivers was recorded on video.
     A group conversation followed the music.Patients who became more socially involved were found to have more eye contact，more concentration and an improved mood.In comparison，the control group，who did not receive the special treatment and kept usual daily care and programs，did not show such changes.
     The study is unusual because it is aimed at patients with dementia and their caregivers.Most previous studies using music for patients with dementia have focused only on the patients."Patients are able to be connected with partners through music，"said Dr.Borna Bonakdarpour，lead author of the study."The family and friends of people with dementia are also influenced by it.It's painful for them when they can't connect with the person they love.When language is no longer possible，music gives them a bridge."
     Music memories often remain in the brain even as language and other memories disappear because of dementia.This is because regions of the brain that are involved in musical memory are not influenced by dementia until the final stages of the disease.Thus，patients can have the ability to dance and sing long after their ability to talk disappear.The program also improved patients' social involvement and reduced anxiety in both patients and caregivers.
  
  （1）What were the patients in the study encouraged to do？

  
  A．Watch music videos together with caregivers.
  B．Talk with musicians about their younger days.
  C．Join in the performance of their beloved music.
  D．Learn to remember words in their favorite songs.
  （2）What change did the patients have after the music treatment？

  
  A．Their language ability greatly improved.
  B．They could perform simple daily activities.
  C．Their communication with others became active.
  D．They showed an interest in learning an instrument.
  （3）What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the study？

  
  A．It is special due to the group conversation.
  B．It will help connect patients with their loved ones.
  C．It is the first to use music as a medical treatment.
  D．It invites patients' family members to be their caregivers.
  （4）Why can music play a role in dealing with dementia？

  
  A．People enjoy singing and dancing by nature.
  B．Music is easier to understand than language.
  C．Beautiful songs can bring back happy memories.
  D．Dementia seldom influences brain regions related to music.

     It was a chilly morning in spring.Only a few people were around as I jogged through the park.Ahead was an elderly gentleman sitting on a wooden bench a few feet off the path.I was ready for a break to catch my breath and check my pulse.I sat next to him，looked at my watch，and started counting my heartbeats.After a few seconds，he interrupted my focus by asking how often I jogged.I responded without making eye contact， "Two or three times a week." He attempted to engage me in the small talk that one engages in with a stranger.
     His genuineness and comfortable smile eventually won me over，and soon we were talking about everything under the sun.We first discussed our favorite television programs，great places we had visited，meaningful moments in our lives，paths taken and not taken.Unexpectedly，we began revealing our politics，exchanging our different experiences as parents.He mentioned that his daughter and her ten-year-old son were coming to visit him in a couple of weeks；he hadn't seen them for two years.How he looked forward to their visit!We chatted as if we had been friends for decades.
     I think it was the chill that broke the moment between us.I looked down at my watch.What seemed like a half-hour had actually been three hours!We were totally unaware of time and place.We who were strangers had somehow become soul mates.We said our gentle farewells， "See you around，" smiling and waving as we parted.We knew we probably wouldn't meet again.
     Several days later，while putting newspapers into a recycling bin，I chanced to see the old man's picture on the back page，in the obituaries （訃告）： "Mr. – passed away yesterday…Please send donations to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation." Tears welled up in my eyes and trickled down my cheeks as I drove home.I was also weeping for his daughter and her not having had that moment of closeness with him that I just had on that Sunday morning.
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為 150 左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
  
  Arriving home，I sat down and wrote her daughter a brief letter.
  __________
  It was almost eight months later when an envelope arrived.
