Music Used as a Healing Therapy
1 Music has long been used to treat patients suffering from different problems. In 400BC, its healing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently, in both world wars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy (疗法) with people suffering from trauma (外伤). Currently, it is used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer, and it has also been used by patients with long-term pain and learning disabilities.
2 There is growing evidence that music can cause physical changes to the body which can improve our health. In the Welcome Trust Study, which took place over three years at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London, patients were asked to listen to musical performances. As a result, it was found that stress levels were significantly reduced, recovery times were improved, and fewer drugs were needed.
3 These very positive results are partly due to general well-being (良好的健康状况). It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have a positive approach to life. They are more likely to feel better and recover from disease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recovery process.
4 However, not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in general well-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood. According to Professor Robertson, a scientist and musician, some effects of music are mysterious and are, therefore, being investigated further. It has been suggested that the sounds and rhythms of music help stimulate the brain and send electrical messages to the muscles.
5 Science, however, demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medical profession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music, since reports have been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies could provide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for many conditions. One day doctors may even "prescribe" (开处方) music, but that could be a long time in the future.

Smoking Can Increase Depressive Symptoms in Teens
While some teenagers may puff on cigarettes to "self-medicate" against the blues, scientists at the University of Toronto and the University of Montreal have found that smoking may actually 1 depressive symptoms in some teens.
"This observational study is one of the few to examine the perceived2benefits of smoking among teens," says lead researcher Michael Chaiton, a research associate at the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit of the University of Toronto. "3 cigarettes may appear to have self-medicating4or to improve mood, in the long term we found that teens who started to smoke reported higher depressive symptoms."
As part of the study, some 662 high school teenagers completed up to 20 questionnaires 5 their use of cigarettes to affect mood. Secondary schools were selected to provide a mix of French and English participants, urban and rural schools, and schools6in high, moderate and low socio-economic neighbourhoods.
Participants were divided into three7: never smokers; smokers who did not use cigarettes to self-medicate, improve mood or physical8; smokers who used cigarettes to self-medicate.
Depressive symptoms were measured using a scale that asked how felt too fired to do things: had 9 going to sleep or staying10; felt unhappy, sad, or depressed; felt hopeless about the future; felt vexed, antsy or tense; and worried too much about things.
"Smokers who used cigarettes as mood 11 had higher risks of elevated depressive symptoms than teens who had never smoked," says co-researcher Jennifer O'Loughlin, a professor at the University of Montreal Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. "Our study found that teen smokers who reported emotional benefits from smoking are at higher risk of 12.depressive symptoms."
The 13 between depression and smoking exists 14among teens that use cigarettes to feel better. "It's 15to emphasize that depressive symptom scores were higher among teenagers who reported emotional benefits from smoking after they began to smoke," says Dr.Chaiton.

Bomb Explosions in Thailand
The new year celebration in Thailand was shattered by violence, when nine bombs exploded across Bangkok around midnight. Three Thai citizens were killed and more than 30 injured.
Among the injured, six were foreigners. No Chinese casualties were reposed, the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok, the capital, said on Monday.1 But other embassies have advised their citizens to avoid traveling to Bangkok. "There is a possibility of further attacks in coming days, "said a travel advisory (公告) from Australia. "Australians are urged to avoid unnecessary travel in Bangkok."
No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday.2 Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand's three southernmost provinces. Yala, Naarathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population and have long complained of neglect (忽视) and discrimination (歧视) in the largely Buddhist (佛教徒的) nation. They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic (伊斯兰的) state. Since 2004, the insurgents (叛乱者) have carried out numerous attacks in the south and more than 1,900 people have been killed.3
But Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said on Monday that domestic politics rather than the Muslim insurgency was behind the bombings. "It is likely related to people who lost their political benefits," Surayud said, referring to Thaksin Shinawatra.
4 Surayud was later appointed interim (临时的) prime minister. Thaksin, however, still enjoys widespread support, especially in the countryside.
5 Thaksin's lawyer, Noppadol Patama, denied his client's involvement in the bombings, according to a local website.
A. Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists.
B. Some believe that several senior army officers loyal to Thaksin plotted the bombings with ousted (赶下台) politicians to discredit (败坏名声) the govemment.
C. Thaksin was ousted in a military coup (政变) last September.
D. The Thai Government has been unable to control the violence, though thousands of troops have been sent to the south.
E. The embassy issued no travel warnings.
F. Nobody is to blame.
