24、Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here, we look at two examples.

Music and Hearing

A recent study by researcher Nina Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. 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.

Musicians hear better, says Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐队). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument (乐器) and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to concentrate on (集中注意力于) certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Music and Speaking

Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with patients who have stroke (中风). Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to activate (激活) different parts of the brain, including the damaged parts. This somehow helps patients to use that part of the brain again.

Understanding the Results

Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. Music, she adds, is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.

【1】What two groups did Nina Kraus study?

A．Noisy people and quiet people.

B．Violinists and other musicians.

C．Musicians and non-musicians.

D．People with hearing problems and people without hearing problems.

【2】What does they refer to in Paragraph 3?

A．Orchestra musicians.

B．Instruments.

C．The sounds of the orchestra.

D．Violinists.

【3】How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak?

A．By getting them to play an instrument.

B．By asking them to sing words.

C．By playing music for them.

D．By repeating their names and other information.

【4】Which type of improvement is NOT mentioned in the reading?

A．Memory.

B．Sleep.

C．Listening skills.

D．Language ability.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A．How to Be a Musician.

B．Playing in an Orchestra.

C．The Power of Music.

D．Trained to Listen.

25、What is the hottest English word now? It’s “selfie”. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself. People usually take selfies with a smartphone(智能手机)and send them to a social media website.

The word was first used in 2004. In the past 12 months, its frequency(出现频率)in the English language has increased by 17, 000 percent. Now, almost everybody knows it.

“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone(QQ空间), ”said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.

But some people don’t see it that way. Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian《卫报》. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others, ”wrote Freedland.

27、   "I just gave birth to 5 babies last weekend." Isn't that exciting? Oh, you don't believe me? "Okay then, I stole some money from a bank on Saturday night." Now do you believe me?
