It is true. Apart from Vanbeck' s rousing Flower of Scotland at the start, when I was standing still, afterwards I can barely remember the music played along the course. The first act I passed, folk group the Deadly Winters, made me smile, and at one point I found myself running in synchronicity(ͬ²½) with the beat of a heavy-rock combo. But they were moments that came and went in a flash. I can't say they helped my performance very much. But what did other runners make of it? Of course, the music was not only there to help runners to break their personal bests (although sadly it was unable to help me beat mine), but to provide a sense of occasion, draw out the crowds and create a carnival atmosphere.

A. It has nothing to do with the the benefits of listening to music. B. The benefits of listening to music increase as running speeds up. C.

Does Music Help You More Confident?

Two good friends, Sam and Jason, had a car accident. The next morning, Sam woke up but Jason was still unconscious (»èÃÔµÄ).

After centuries, this statement is still true. People are filled with anxiety, as they struggle to make a living or to keep up with society¡¯s standards. 37 They are stressed because of what awaits, yet ignoring what they must do at the moment to establish a better future for themselves. Sadly, nearly one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents have clinical depression. In my view, the encouragement of unhealthy competition and perfectionism has led to his problem.
38 From an early age, my parents taught me to settle for nothing less than an A on my tests and papers. I was persuaded that my grades would determine my worth. Therefore, I denied all my friends¡¯ invitations to their parties and practiced math over the weekend. I was embarrassed at the sight of a low A and felt pressured to keep an outward image of perfection. One day, my friend Neha said, ¡°39 You¡¯re president of the orchestra, an All-State violist(ÖÐÌáÇÙÑÝ×àÊÖ) an amazing tennis player, a straight A student, I mean, you¡¯re perfect.¡± I smiled at Neha, though I knew that I wasn¡¯t really perfect. 40 Preoccupied with viola, tennis, and keeping my high grades, I hadn¡¯t given enough attention to my health. I didn¡¯t experience depression or anxiety during this time, but I wanted to lie on the grass, on a summer day just watching the clouds move and to walk by the shore, watching the waves lap at the sand. I wanted to live in the present. A. Michele, I wish were you.
B. I avoided pleasures and studied hard. C. On the inside, I was stressed and anxious. D. Anxiety problems affect one in eight children. E. If you are at peace you are living in the present.
F. Certainly, I have experienced both the guilt and anxiety that Loo Tzu described.
G. They regret their past decisions, though they can not change what has already occurred.
