Promising Results from Cancer Study
A new experimental vaccine (疫苗) has shown promising results ir the fightagaiast lung cancer. In a small Texas-based study, a vaccine developed byscientist: at Baylor University MedicalCentre in Dallas, USA, cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed theprogress of the disease in others.
Researchers have reported encouraging findings from this small stud . Forty-three patientssuffering from lung cancer were involved in these trials. Ten of these patlentswere in the early stages and thirty-three in the advanced stages of thedisease. They were in ected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months,and were carefully monitored for three years. In three of the patients in theadvanced stages of cancer, the disease disappeared and in the others, it didnot spread for five to twenty-four months. However, no great difference wasseen in the padents in the early stages of the illness.
This new vaccine uses the patients own immune system. It is made specifically for eachpatient and is injected into the arm or leg. It stimulates the bodys immunesystem, which then recognizes that the cancer ceils are harmful, and attacksand destroys them.
The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer. It offers great hopefor the treatment of cancer in general, although further studies are neededbefore such treatment can be widely used.

Music Used As a Healing Therapy
1. Musichas long been used to treat patients suffering fron different problems. In 400BC,itshealing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently, inboth worldwars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy (疗法)with people suffering from trauma (外伤). Currently, itis used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer, and it has also beenused by patients with long-term pair and learning disabilities.
2. Thereis growing evidence that music can cause physical changes to the body whichcanimprove our health. In the Welcome Trust Study, which took place over threeyears at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London, patient,, were askedto listen to musical performances. As a result, it was found that stress levelswere significantly reduced, recovery times were improved, and fewer drugs wereneeded.
3. Thesevery positive results are partly due to general we l-being (良好的健康状况). It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have apositive approach to life, they are more likely to feel better and recover fromdisease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recoveryprocess.
4.However, not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in generalwell-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood,According to Professor Robertson, a scientist and musician, some effects ofmusic are mysterious and are, therefore, being investigated further. It hasbeen suggested that the stands and rhythms of music help stimulate the brainand send electrical messages to the muscles.
5.Science, however, demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medicalprofession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music, since reportshave been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies couldprovide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for manyconditions. One day doctor may even prescribe (开处方)music, but that could be a long time in the future.

The Development of Ballet
Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this dayshows that it has adjusted as times have changed.
Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became commonfor kings and queens, as well as other nobility, to participate in pageantsthat included music,poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from theItalian courts to the French ones,court ladies began participating in them.Though their long dresses prevented much movement,they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that womendancersshortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes, and began doing some of theleaps and turns performed by men.
It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France,himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basicfeet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late1700s another important change occurred.Ballet began to tell a story on itsown. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays.Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learnedto rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.
Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. TheRussians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other Europeancountries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russes,brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants,George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and toinfluence new generations of-dancers.
