They can make even a single note sound wonderful. Here are four famous concert halls around the world. Enjoy! Cidade das Artes (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Opened in 2013, this is one of the largest modern concert halls in South America. This building was designed by Christian de Portzamparc. Named "City of Arts", this is a cultural building group that hosts art exhibitions, dance events, comedy shows and workshops. The Cidade has excellent sound qualities as a result of being designed by the Chinese engineer Xu Yaping. Wiener Musikverein (Vienna, Austria) Designed by Theophil Hansen, this neoclassical building opened its doors in 1870 and is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the most popular orchestras (交响乐团) in the world. It was here in 1913 that the famous concert Skandalkonzert took place. This is also the place where every New Year's day a famous traditional symphonic concert is performed. Teatro alla Scala (Milan, Italy) One of the most important concert halls for operatic music was completed in 1778. This building also hosts a museum and one of the world's most famous academies (学院) where young talents are trained for ballet performances. This concert hall was rebuilt over the Teatro Regio Ducale which was destroyed by a fire in 1776. It saw the premieres (初次演出) of some of the most impressive works in the history of the opera, such as Madama Butterfly and Turandot by Giacomo Puccini. Carnegie Hall (New York, USA) Designed by William Burnet Tuthill, it is one of the most famous concert halls in the world for both classical music and popular music. It opened its doors in 1791 with a concert conducted by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Many famous works had their world premieres here, including Antonin Dvorak's New World Symphony and George Gershwin's An American in Paris. 1. What is special about Cidade das Artes? A. Visitors can perform dances there. B. It has the longest history of the four. C. A Chinese engineer joined in its design. D. Every New Year's concert is performed. 2. Where can music-lovers enjoy the famous orchestra performance? A. In Cidade das Artes. B. In Wiener Musikverein. C. In Teatro alla Scala. D. In Carnegie Hall. 3. What do Teatro alla Scala and Carnegie Hall have in common? A. They were built in the seventeenth century. B. They got destroyed in the human activities. C. They were aimed at training ballet performers. D. They saw premieres of many famous works. B A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that young children between the ages of 3 and 5 can improve their musical abilities, especially in understanding musical pitches (音高), when learning Mandarin, compared to those who speak English. This research challenges the idea that our mental abilities are entirely separate from each other. It suggests that the skills children learn in one area can influence their learning in another. This raises questions about how our mental abilities relate to each other. The study involved two experiments with similar groups of Mandarin and English learners, totaling 180 children. They were tested on tasks related to pitch (high or low notes) and timbre (音色) (the quality of sound). Both groups performed similarly on the task related to timbre. However, Mandarin speakers performed better than English speakers on tasks related to pitch. Mandarin is a tonal language, which means the tone (音调) used when saying a word can change its meaning, not just add emphasis. For example, the Mandarin word "ma" can mean "mother", "horse", "hem (床)", or "scold", depending on how it's spoken. This focus on pitch helps young Mandarin speakers understand musical pitches better. Since both language and music involve changes in pitch, the study aimed to find out if understanding pitch in language is different from understanding it in music. The results suggest that experience with understanding musical pitches can also help in understanding language pitches, and vice versa. While learning Mandarin might offer an advantage due to its tonal nature, it's important to note that the study doesn't suggest replacing music lessons with language lessons or the other way around. Learning another language has many benefits, and music education remains important for musical skills. In summary, this is an extremely valuable research, highlighting the connections between cognitive (认知的) skills and emphasises the value of exposing children to different languages and providing them with musical education for their overall development. 4. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To introduce the concept of musical pitches. B. To offer the research result to be discussed. C. To present the University of California San Diego. D. To share a fact about children's language development. 5. What is compared between Mandarin and English learners? A. Tonal perception. B. Language abilities. C. Musical performances. D. Knowledge development. 6. What is the advantage of learning Mandarin? A. Improving mental health. B. Replacing music education. C. Developing musical ability. D. Benefiting academic performance. 7. What is the author's attitude towards this study? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Worried. II. 七选五 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you're in good company. Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental and physical health. 1. ________ ●Music lowers stress and improves health. 2. ________ This is an important finding since stress causes many illnesses. To stay calm and healthy during a stressful day, turn on the radio. ●Music reduces depression. More than 350 million people suffer from depression around the world. Music can benefit depressive patients, depending on the type of music. 3. ________ But techno and heavy metal brings people down even more. When you feel low, put on some classical or relaxing music to increase positive moods. ●Music helps you eat less. Softening the lighting and music can lead people to eat fewer calories and enjoy their meals better. If you're looking for ways to reduce your appetite (食欲), try dimming the lights and listening to soft music next time you sit down for a meal. ●Music raises IQ and school performance. Taking music lessons predicts higher school performance and IQ in young children. In one study, children who took singing lessons had learnt better than children who took other lessons unrelated to music. If you want to help your children achieve excellence in their studies, you can let them take music lessons. 5. ________ A. Music helps you eat less. B. Music gives you hope and confidence. C.
