Long time ago, a boy named Peter lived with his parents in Holland. The land is very low, and the sea is very high. The land is kept safe and dry by high, strong walls called dikes(堤).

One day, when Peter rode his bike to the road on top of the dike, suddenly he heard some noise. Peter got off his bike and went down to see what was wrong. There was a hole in the dike!

Peter put his fingers in the hole to keep the water from coming through. He knew that if he let the water leak(漏) through the hole; it would get bigger. Then the fields and the houses would all be flooded(淹没)by the sea. Peter looked around for something to stop the leak: He put a small stone in the hole, then a stick. But they were washed away. Peter had to put his fingers back and use all his strength to keep the water out. As time went by, his fingers grew cold and numb, but he didn't give up.

A few hours later, a milkman arrived. Peter shouted for help. The milkman saw Peter and hurried down to him. Peter showed the milkman the hole and asked him to hurry to the village and send some men to repair the dike right away. The man went as fast as he could. At last villagers came and they repaired the hole at once. All the villagers thanked Peter for saving the country and called him a brave hero. But Peter didn't think of himself as a hero. He had done what he thought was right.

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music(随着音乐锻炼) can turn you into an intelligent person.

A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that -people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have bad head hurts because of its moderate tempo(舒缓的节奏).

*Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease," said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. "And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the, two, results together," he added.

The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts:

Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now: you have good reasons to argue with them.
