Ⅰ.阅读理解

Many studies link music study to academic achievements. But what is it about serious music training that seems to associate with great success in other fields?

I put the question to top­flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious (if often little­known) past lives as musicians. Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, was a professional saxophone (萨克斯管) player. The billionaire Bruce Kovner is a pianist who took classes at Juilliard. Almost all made a connection between their music training and their professional achievements. Mr. Greenspan says, “I can tell you as a statistician, the probability that is mere chance is extremely small. That's all that you can judge about the facts. The important question is: why does that connection exist？”

Paul Allen, the billionaire co­founder of Microsoft, offers an answer. He says music “builds up your confidence in the ability to create”. The music had the emotional(情感的) similarity to his day job, with each giving a different type of motivation. The NBC chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd, who attended college on music scholarships, says there is a connection, between years of practice and competition and what he calls the “drive for perfection”. He adds：“The group playing trains you，quite literally, to play well with others, to know when to solo (独奏) and when to follow. ”

For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language”， as the former World Bank president James Wolfensohn calls it, one that improves the ability to connect diverse or even contradictory ideas. According to him, music may not make you a genius, or a better person. But it helps train you to think differently，to process different points of view — and most importantly, to take pleasure in listening.
