Did your parents make you take music lessons? Recent research has 1. that people who studied music as a child are able to remember words much better than people 2. musical training. One experiment was 3. with sixty female American college students. A similar study was carried out with ninety boys in Hongkong of China. In both cases, students had to 4. words and pictures. 5. they were asked how many they remembered. Scientists found that students 6. studied music were better at remembering words, but both groups remembered the pictures equally well. Perhaps it is 7.to use your imagination to associate(联想) pictures with things in your life. Also, you can make up stories for pictures.
Scientists explain the 8. by saying that both musical memory and verbal (written or spoken words) memory are located in the left side of the brain. Visual memory, the kind needed for pictures, is located in 9. half of the brain. Since verbal memory is very important for success at school, researchers now think that taking music lessons can give you a real academic advantage.
