13.Parents who spend time and money to teach their children music,take heart-a new Canadian study show young children who take music lessons have better memories than their nonmusical fellows."The research tells us that if you take music lessons your brain is getting wired up differently than if you don't take music lessons,"Laurel Trainor,professor of psychology,neuroscience and behavior at McMaster University in Hamilton,Ontario,said."This is the first study to show that brain responses in young,musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,"said Trainor.
Over a year they took four measurements in two groups of children aged between four and six--those taking music lessons and those taking no musical training outside school--and found developmental changes over periods as short as four months.
The children completed a music test in which they were asked to discriminate between harmonies,rhythms and melodies,and a memory test in which they had to listen to a series of numbers,remember them and repeat them back.
Trainor said while previous studies have shown that older children given music lessons had greater improvements in IQ scores than children given drama lessons,this is the first study to identify these effects in brain-based measurements in young children.
She said it was not that surprising that children studying music improved in musical listening skills more than children not studying music.

解答 CDAC
57.C.主旨大意题.根据对本文内容的分析以及第二段中The research tells us that if you take music lessons your brain is getting wired up differently than if you don't take music lessons可知,本文主要介绍了上个音乐课对孩子的智力发展是有很大作用的,即上音乐课的孩子要比其他没有上个音乐课的孩子在各方面表现都要优秀;故选C.
58.D.细节理解题.根据第三段Over a year they took four measurements in two groups of children aged between four and six可知,实验的对象是年龄在4到6岁的孩子群体;故选D.
59.A.细节理解题.根据第二段中This is the first study to show that brain responses in young,musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,可知,实验的目的就是发现受过音乐培训和没有受过培训的孩子在电脑发育方面的差异;故选A.
60.C.细节理解题.根据第四段中The children completed a music test in which they were asked to discriminate between harmonies,rhythms and melodies,and a memory test可知,在实验中孩子需要做的事情就是参加音乐测试和记忆力测试;故选C.
