导学号 57144323 HA VE you ever gotten a song kept in your head？You sing it all the time—on your way to school，before sleep，even when you're sitting on the toilet.You want to forget it，but the music just keeps sounding in your head.
Some people call these annoying songs “earworms” because they are just like parasites(寄生虫)-they “live” in your ears and refuse to leave even when you tell them to.
But why do some songs become earworms and not others？According to Ira Hyman，a music psychologist at Western Washington University，people are more likely to remember songs that are simple and repetitive，especially ones with that type of music.“Choruses tend to get stuck in your head because they are the bit we know best，”Hyman told The Tele-graph.
If you've got an earworm，you can suffer an attack without even hearing it.Seeing words from the song or hearing someone mention it could both cause the domino effect that starts the song running.
Scientists have been trying to find a solution to deal with earworms.They say the best way is to fill your mind with something else.But here is the tricky part：the task you do should be neither too hard nor too easy.The harder you try not to think about the music，the more you won't be able to help it.On the contrary，a task like jogging which is too easy won't keep your brain busy enough，and that could allow the song to come back.
“The key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge.”said Hymen.Reading a difficult book or a good novel could count.
文章大意：本文是一篇科教类阅读，主要向读者介绍了什么样的歌曲是earworms(在脑
海中不断出现的歌词片段)以及如何处理earworms这种现象．
21．What can we 1earn from the passage？__A__
A．People may sing earworms everywhere.
B．You can suffer an attack of an earworm on hearing it.
C．You can forget the melody by trying hard not to think about it.
D．Hearing someone sing the song can't start the song running in your head.
解析：细节理解题。

根据第一段第二句You sing it all the time-on your way to school，before sleep，even when you're sitting on the toilet.你一直都在唱—在上学的路上、睡前、甚至是当你坐在马桶上的时候，可知本题答案为A选项。

22．What kinds of songs will probably become earworms？__C__
A．Classical songs. B．Songs we like best.
C．Simple and repetitive songs. D．Songs that are unfinished.
解析：细节理解题。

根据第三段第二句people are more likely to remember songs that are simple and repetitive，especially ones with that type of music.人们更有可能记住那些简单的、重复性的歌曲—尤其是带有那一类的音乐，可知本题答案为C选项。

23．According to the article，if you want to get rid of earworms，you should __C__.
A．Listen to a new song B．Try not to think of the song
C．Read an interesting novel D．Do some exercise like jogging.

You have probably heard of the Mozart effect.It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart，they will become more intelligent.A quick Internet search suggests plenty of products to assist you in the task.Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music，but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever，the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991，but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain.It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable.Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself；his music is complex (复杂的)and there is a
hope that if we listen to enough of it，we'll become more intelligent.
__The idea got across to the public，with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，and in 1998 Zell Miller，the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US，even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music.It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose，even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
I'll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield(产量，产额) to farmers，but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally，but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.
文章大意：文章介绍了很多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更加聪明，但是研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明。

24. What can we learn from paragraph 1？__D__
A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
C．There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music.
D．There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.
解析：推理判断题。

根据文章第一段“but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever，the picture is more mixed.”可知有极少的证据证明莫扎特效应，故选D项。

25．The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggests that __A__.
A．the idea was accepted by many people.
B．people were strongly against the idea.
C．Mozart played an important part in people's life.
D．the US government helped promote the idea.
解析：推理判断题。

根据文章第三段“The idea took off，with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，…”可知有越来越多的父母给自己孩子播放莫扎特的音乐，故选A 项。

26．What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect？__D__
A．Favorable B．Objective
C．Positive D．Doubtful
解析：观点态度题。

根据文章最后一段“I'll leave the debate on the effect on milk yield (产量，产额)to farmers，but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent？”可知作者对莫扎特效应持怀疑态度，故选D项。

27．What would be the best title for the passage？__A__
A．Listening to Mozart，necessary? B．What music is beneficial?
C．What is the Mozart effect? D．To accept Mozart or not to?
解析：主旨大意题。

通读文章可知，本文讲述了很多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更加聪明，但是研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明，因此最佳题目是有必要听莫扎特的音乐吗，故选A项。

Music is considered as a “universal language”，without which our culture can't exist.We begin life affected by music；babies begin to respond to music before they are born.We often hear that playing music for your baby helps him or her become smarter.Recently，a piece of new research suggests that playing music to babies helps their brains to develop and leads them to become better communicators as they grow up，especially a faster rhythm song.
The study was led by Laurel Trainor，study author and director of the McMaster Institute for music and the Mind.Her paper was titled “Active music classes in babies __enhance musical，communicative and social development”．And the new research，published in the journal De v elopment Science，shows that listening to music affects the development of the brain in babies.The Study looked at one-year-old babies.The babies showed positive response to interactive music classes，smiling more，communicating better，and showing changeable brain responses to music.
Laurel Trainor divided babies into two groups.In the first group were babies that took part in an interactive music-making class，where they and their parents learned to play musical instruments and sing nursery rhymes and songs with actions.In the second group babies spent that time playing with various toys.
After six months，babies in the first group，who took part in the interactive classes were earlier sensitive to the high sounds in music.Babies from interactive music classes showed quicker brain responses to musical tones，while babies in the second group，who had been playing with toys，did not show such preferences.
The two groups of babies also showed differences in non-musical skills.Those who had taken part in the interactive classes showed better communication skills，like pointing at objects and waving goodbye，and smiled more.They were also easier to calm and seemed less anxious in unfamiliar situations.
