Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 1.Here, we look at two examples

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.2.The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

3.Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.4.Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.5.Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.

A. It can even help sick people get better.

B Music helps people solve some hearing problems.

C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.

E Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.

F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

G. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.

1.C 2.G 3.E 4.F 5.A 【解析】试题本文是一篇议论文,谈论的是音乐和语言之间的联系。结果表明,演奏乐器可以提高一个人的听力能力,甚至能帮助生病的人变得更好。 1.根据开头Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer...

Tim, 20

When I was a teenager, I went to Brittany with my parents. We lived in a lovely house, and the weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn’t want to be on holiday with my parents. I wanted to be with my friends. We went to the beach every day and we went to a wonderful seafood restaurant for my birthday. But I was not happy. What really made me angry was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to Spain with her friends.

Gabriela, 28

I’m from Rome and the summer here is really hot. So last year my husband and I decided to go to Sweden. We booked (预订) a 10-day holiday in Stockholm, and the temperature there in the summer is normally about 20OC. But when we got to Stockholm, it was 35OC! We didn’t want to go shopping or visit museums or do anything — we were too hot. We just sat in hotels and argued all day. We didn’t need to go to Sweden to do that!

Olivia, 26
