We all knew that in the end Sam, the hero, would win back the love of his girlfriend, Clare. I dont think there was much doubt about that, after all, series like this dont go in for unhappy endings, if they did, they wouldnt attract such large audiences. After weeks of drama and tears, we all wanted to leave the characters on a high note, and thats fair enough. But youd have thought the scriptwriters wouldve produced a compelling last episode, to do justice to what was, up to that point, a good series. But because most of the plot lines had resolved themselves the week before, it really wasnt worth watching.

People normally request the big names from the dJ, but Ive got a huge collection, so there isnt much I cant offer. Sometimes some body comes up to me and requests a song that makes me say, Yeah! Thats an awesome track, Ill put that on right now! Sometimes its something I dont particularly like, but it doesnt bother me because its all part of the job, and I dont even mind playing old stuff, because that adds variety. But what I cant stand is when someone requests a track and you have to tell them youve just played it that does get to me, even if its a band I really like.

Restaurant owner. Actually, it was professionally done, though Im sure youre right. My wife wasnt very keen on spending the mo ney on it, she reckons satisfied customers tell their friends, and thats enough.

MUSIC To GET FIT BY
An aerobics teacher argues that music can increase our workout productivity
At college, I used to go to the gym regularly but I never feed the music they played in the classes. I trained a s an instructor largely so that I could have control of the stereo. Now I teach twenty hours of aerobic classes a week and so I always associate physical activity with banging house music at 140 beats per minute.
This is not as crazy as you might think. Music and exercise have long been known to be close companions. (1). He is also the archi tect of the Brunei Music Rating Inventory (BMRI), designed to rate fie motivational qualities of music.

Karagearghis says we have an underlying predisposition to react to musical stimuli. Music is beneficial, he explains, because of the similarities between rhythm and human movement. The synchronisa tion of music with exercise consistently demonstrates increased levels of work output among exercise participants. (2).
For Jaraes Cracknell, the rower, the ideal music was a Red Hot Chili Peppers album, which he says played an integral part in his preparation and, ultimate, his olympic victory. (3). If you are not a familiar with this word, it means that during repetitive exercise, music essentially diverts attention away from the sensation of fatigue. The right music can almost persuade your body that you are in fact having nice sit down and a coffee.
Not everyone, however, shares the same taste in tunes. Can you turn that racket down? said a participant in one of my classes before storming out. Reaching a consensus on music is notoriously tricky which makes communal exercise classes problematic. There are, however, some rules that professional fitness instruc tors follow. (4) __.
Most importantly, however, the music should mirror your heart beat. The instructor should choose the music to go with the different phases of a class, from the warm up, to high intensity, to the final relaxing phase. Its advisable to follow this sequence when you work out alone, too, and not make the mistake a good friend of mine made. (5).
Instructors and gyms often buy readymixed Cds that come with a music licence, without which they can be fined heavily. A fre quent complaint by those who go to classes is that they hear the
74 . 211
same old songs over and over again. (6) __. It is also true, sadly, that most people respond best in motivational terms to quite awful songs music they wouldnt necessarily be proud to have on their iPod.
3. Read the article about the music in gyms. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. Chose from the sentences AH the one which fits each gap.
. But perhaps the most useful thing about music is that it allows even the humble gymgoer or runner to practise a technique used by elite athletes, known as disassocia tion.
B. These days you can find music tailored to suit an incredibly diverse range of sports and exercise needs.
C. one of them is that the music must be appropriate to the type of class and not just the instructors personal enthusiasm for a particular genre or artist.
d. This is mostly because only a limited number of them are re leased for public performance each year, and partly because teachers universally favour the most popular tracks.
E. The most convenient is the gym called Third Space in lon dons Soho, which does several sessions a week to live dJ ac companiment.
F. He was cooling down to techno music, which left him feeling nervous and twitchy all day.
G. Choose the right music and, according to Karageorghis, you can up your workout productivity by as much as twenty per cent.
H. dr Costas Karageorghis, a sports and exercise psychologist who is also a musician, has spent more than a decade studying the link between athletic activity and music.
