Some psychologists (心理學(xué)家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate (參加). It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music without bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically (具體地), some part of their body. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (管弦樂隊(duì)) even though knows where to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is an able conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment form music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.
The muscles of the body actually participate (參加) in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.
16. Some psychologists believe that thinking is performed not only by one’s brain but also one’s _________.
17. The process of thinking and that of listening are similar in that muscles ________ in both processes.
18. _________ people are able to listen to familiar music without moving some part of their body.
19. Body movement are necessary in order for the listener to ________ the music fully.
20. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is not readily a_______.

Passage 1
Most of us lead unhealthy lives: we spend far too much time sitting down. If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby (不結(jié)實(shí)的) and systems sluggish (缺乏活力的). Then the guilt feelings start: " I must go on a diet", "I must try to lose weight", "I must get more fresh air and exerciser", "I must stop smoking", "I must try to keep fit." There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to minimise (減少到最低限度)the effects of these evils.
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and tennis in the local park, they are outnumbered (超過) a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them. It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way throughout the crowds to get to the best seats.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive (競爭性的) sports, it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them. There are such activities for one person as cycling, walking and swimming. What often happens, though, is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair. Of course you can be very thorough about exercise. Many sports shops now sell frightening pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets (小裝置) of shiny spring steel, which, according to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of fitness, provided that you follow a regular programme of exercises. Such programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal into improbable shapes.
It all strikes me as utterly boring and also time-consuming. Somebody suggested recently that all such effort was pointless anyway because if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that you wasted doing the "jogging" in the first place. The argument is false even if the facts are correct, out there is no doubt that exercise in itself can be boring.
Even after you have found a routine for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation. Now, this does not mean sleeping in the armchair of going dancing (which is a good form of exercise in itself). It has something to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, worries and so on.
21. If you want to keep fit, you should __________.
○A. go in for not only competitive sports, but also solitary ones
○B(yǎng). go in for not only sports, but also enjoy your relaxation
○C. not put on too much weight
○D. not spend long hours sitting in your armchair
22. The latter part of the last sentence of Para. 2 ("… unless you count the effort… get to the best seats.") suggests that the author thinks that ________.
○A. fighting your way through crowds is a good exercise
○B(yǎng). best seats are difficult to secure
○C. being a spectator is not a way to keep fit
○D. getting through crowds is not an easy job
23. Which statement reflects the author’s point of view on solitary sports?
○A. They do not contribute much to your health.
○B(yǎng). They can be done in a slow way.
○C. They lack a sense of competition.
○D. They can be done at any time and in any place.
24. In Para. 4, the author quotes: "… if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that you wasted doing the ’jogging’ in the first place." He thinks that the statement is _____________.
○A. partially correct
○B(yǎng). absolutely true
○C. untrue
○D. paradoxical
25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to good health in the article?
○A. Mental and physical relaxation.
○B(yǎng). Competitive and solitary sports.
○C. Pieces of exercise apparatus.
○D. Mountain climbing of fresh-air breathing.
