But music touches our lives in many other ways, too.Music changes our moods    My brother doesn't choose music based on what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music with that mood in mind. Upbeat, bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music, too. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder.Music helps us get things doneDo you ever listen to music while you work? I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate.

When she wants to call a child, instead of yelling the child's name, she sings it. This creates a more positive environment, while still getting the child's attention.Music brings people together    Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live. Live music often features a group of people playing different instruments, which makes it a shared experience.

BA night at the movies is always a good idea.But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks,youll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix.The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was $5.39;now,a ticket is over $9.The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is inflation(通货膨胀).It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now.A ticket in 1978 cost $2.34.If you plug that into an inflation calculator,the same ticket would cost you $9.46 today.According to the National Association of Theater Owners,the average cost for a ticket today is $9.11.Another reason you need to spend some of your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films,such as Netflix,Hulu,and Amazon.And lets be honest,sitting at home on your sofa or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.Because of streaming technology,theaters have to do something to bring in customers.

His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.    Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV. But what about the man behind the character?    Miller is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.    Miller didn't take a direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English. He didn't even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university's singing group. Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.    Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. "My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place," Miller says.    Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant, not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end.    In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(恐龙帝国). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Michael Scofield in Prison Break.B.Hollywood's recent big hitPrison Break.C.Miller's unusual path to fame and fortune.D.The man who will take over all of the world.8.The writer thinks "Miller is a hard guy to figure out" because _.A.it's difficult to tell him from othersB.he is a shy man and hard to cooperate withC.he always has ideas hard for people to understandD.his family background and life experience are very special9.Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence "it all paid off for Miller in the end"?A.Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.B.Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.C.Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.D.Miller managed to pay off his debts with his small income in the end.10.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miller?A.He is chosen to play Michael Scofield due to his interesting personality.B.His performance in Dinotopia makes some contributions to his success.C.He has the same experience with the character Michael Scofield.D.He is angry about his being born into a mixed cultural family.七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for Developing Your Artistic Talent    Everyone has an artistic talent.
