单元综合测评(三) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) A There is no doubt that music plays a powerful role in our lives.It can calm our tired nerves after a busy day of work.Music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs(激起) an emotional reaction.How then，does music play a role in special education If music has the ability，to touch those hidden places we all carry inside，it proves an important tool for the special education teacher.For students with emotional problems，music can help soothe(抚慰) sadness.Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset.If music can indeed relax and calm him，he is more likely to focus and participate in class. Dr.R.Joseph，author of Behavioral Neurology，writes，“It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere(大脑半球) damage，who may be unable to speak or recognize words，can sing a melody(曲调)．” For this reason，some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music.When students cannot understand or remember certain things，singing them helps make it easier.
