27、uly We all know that emotions originate in the brain. But we usually talk about our emotions coming from our hearts. If someone you know doesnt give up 1 , you might say, Hes got a lot of heart.

28、w study shows what goes on in your mind can, literally, break your heart. In the study, just published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers looking at more than 63,000 women who were participants in the 2Nurses Health Study, found that, those who reported basic symptoms

None of the participants had heart problems at the studys 5, but nearly 8% had symptoms of depression. The researchers theorize

30、that depression might have some direct physiological impact on the heart-like 6it to work harder in the face of stress. Or it may be that the antidepressants (抗抑郁药) 7 to treat those with mood problems were associated with heart diseases; in the study, sudden heart attack was linked more 8with antide

For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one

33、that you think is the best answer._(l)The Westlife story really began way back in December 1996 when the three original members of Westlife were performing in a local production of the musical Grease. Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehilly were all born and bred in Sligo, a small town a few hours

34、west of the Republic of Irelands capital city, Dublin. During breaks the three would get together and sing covers of some of their favorite songs including Boyz II Mens I Make Love To You. The reaction to their singing was so positive that they decided to form a band as soon as they had finished the

35、ir exams at school. This they duly did and on July 3 1997 they formed I.O.U. (2)The boys organized concerts in the area and even produced their own CDs to sell locally. This local success led to an appearance on TV that was to prove extremely important. Among the viewers who saw the trio perform in

36、a childrens hospital was Boyzones manager, Louis Walsh. Soon after Shanes mother contacted him about I.O.U. and found he had been desperately trying to get in contact with them. (3)Louis Walsh decided to hold auditions to recruit two new members in June of 1998. This is when Nicky Byrne and Bryan Mc

37、Fadden, two Dublin boys and friends entered the picture. A quick name change and Westside was born. Yes, WESTSIDE. This was to be the quintets name until they discovered another band already using the name and a final change to Westlife was called for. The final link in the chain was Ronan Keating,

38、Boyzones lead singer, who at Louis Walshs request joined him to help and nurtured this raw talent. His experience proved an invaluable help. (4)The next step was to secure a record deal. The band organized a showcase in Dublin and soon representatives of every major record label were offering the be

39、wildered boys contracts. In October 1998 Westlife signed to RCA, a label that had a proven track record with the successful marketing of both Take That and Five. (5)Barely had the ink on the contract dried when they headed out on tour as part of the Smash Hits Show, which led to them winning the Bes

40、t New Tour Act in December 1998 (this was an award Boyzone themselves had won in 1994 which seemed like a pretty good omen). (6)Styled by Kenny Ho, who was responsible for The Spice Girls image, Westlifes first single Swear It Again was released in March 1999. In their native Ireland it went straigh

41、t to number one and became the biggest selling debut single in the history of the Irish charts. A month later Swear It Again repeated the feat in the UK, staying at number one for two weeks and following on from Boyzones dominance of the UK top spot. This success was soon matched all around Europe,

42、Asia, Australia and New Zealand. (7)They look set to repeat their success now in the USA. A tour throughout the States has meant Swear It Again is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts. This is the good news the boys needed as Bryan McFadden recently suffered nervous exhaustion and had to miss some

43、shows while recuperating back in Ireland with his family. Not only that but Ronan Keatings solo plans have forced him to give up his co-managing duties due to lack of time. More good news, though, is they have recently recorded with Marian Carey and are due to begin work on their second album.（分数：8.
