About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs.

As a result， songs sound like noise to an amusic．Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact， most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful．That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music．However， this can result in social loneliness．“I used to hate parties，” says Margaret， a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret， scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨別) this unusual condition.

Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(復(fù)雜的)， and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.

Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(診斷)．For years， Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem．Now she knows that she is not alone．That makes it easier for her to explain．“When people invite me to a concert， I just say” No， thanks. “I’m amusic.”says Margret.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求完成下面各小題。

Health is very important for us. In order to stay healthy， we need to know some common knowledge.

Firstly， pay attention to the diet. We should eat lots of fruit and vegetables， because they are rich in fiber（維生素）and low in fat（脂肪）. As a proverb says， “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” So fruit is good for health. Don’t have a lot of food that contains too much fat， such as butter. Meanwhile（同時(shí)）， sweets should be eaten in proper quantity， because too much sugar does harm to us. Dont drink too much coffee， either.

Secondly， exercise is necessary. Regular exercise can help keep us from getting fat. People who do running every day usually have stronger hearts than those who don’t.

Finally， form（養(yǎng)成）good living habits. We should sleep for about 8 hours at night， and never work too hard. Too much work and little sleep will lead to illness. What’s more， stay away from cigarettes.

These are the things we should pay attention to so as to stay healthy.
