阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!

　　Retreating(撤退)to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house．"

　　The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr．Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me; I cannot be bothered by it．"

　　The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house．" "I am so sorry, Mr．Mouse," sympathized the pig, "but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers．"

　　The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "Like wow, Mr．Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, huh?"

　　So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer's mouse trap alone．

　　That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey．The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught．In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught．The snake bit the farmer's wife．The farmer rushed her to the hospital．She returned home with a fever．Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient(成分)．His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock．To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig．The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered(屠杀)to provide meat for all of them to eat．

　　So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk．And traps are usually well disguised．

Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, better able to learn new things. But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.

An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's abilily to learn or their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.

Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musi­cal training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent. Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education. He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.

"The evidence there is 'no'. We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music clases," said Mehr.Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. He says the results have been mixed. He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons. He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence. He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.

The researchers comfirmed the results with a larger group of children and their par­ents.Mr Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words, "We teach music because music is important for us."
