What happens in your brain when you hear a wrong note in a piece of music?Researchers from the University of Tokyo found that this depends on whether you've had music lessons or not.
In a recent study, the researchers asked about a hundred 15yearolds to listen to a piece of music while their brain was scanned using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), which shows which areas of the brain are active during a certain task.
Twothirds of the volunteers had received music lessons before they were 9 years old, while the remaining one third either never took lessons or didn't start until they were in high school. Each volunteer was asked to prepare for the test by listening to three classical music pieces in the week leading up to the experiment. That way, they would all be familiar with the music, and the students who had heard any of the pieces before in their music lessons would not be at an advantage.
During the experiment, the volunteers heard the same pieces, but now with errors in it. Overall, everyone's brain showed activity in a region of the brain related to processing sound, no matter what errors they heard. That makes sense—they were listening intently to the music.
But there were some big differences between the students who had had music lessons at quite a young age and those who hadn't. The musician group showed much more activity in different parts of the brain. However, there was one part of the brain that everyone appeared to use when they heard an error in music—a language region. Even though the music was instrumental, errors in the phrasing of music seemed to be linked to language processing, and this happened regardless of how much music education the volunteers had received.
“This connection between music and language might explain why everyone can enjoy music even if they are not musical themselves,”says Kuniyoshi Sakai, who led the research study.
1.What do we know about the volunteers of the experiment?
A.They were all from the same school.
B.They had the same musical background.
C.They listened to the music pieces in advance.
D.Their brain was scanned using different devices.
2.Why can music lead to activity in the brain's language area?
A.Music communicates ideas in a way similar to language.
B.The language area is responsible for dealing with sound information.
C.Other brain regions in charge of music are closely linked to the language area.
D.The expression of errors in music has something to do with language processing.
3.What does the underlined word “intently”in paragraph four mean?
A.In the absence of mind. B.With confusion.
C.In admiration. D.With whole attention.
4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Environment. B.Science.
C.Education. D.Health.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,人们在听音乐的时候也会使用大脑中的语言功能区。
1.C [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Each volunteer was asked to prepare for the test by listening to three classical music pieces in the week leading up to the experiment. That way,they would all be familiar with the music,and the students who had heard any of the pieces before in their music lessons would not be at an advantage.”可知,志愿者们提前听了实验的音乐。故选C。]
2.D [细节理解题。根据第五段中“However,there was one part of the brain that everyone appeared to use when they heard an error in music——a language region.Even though the music was instrumental,errors in the phrasing of music seemed to be linked to language processing,and this happened regardless of how much music education the volunteers had received.”可知,音乐中错误的表达与语言处理有关,这会导致大脑中语言区的活跃。故选D。]
3.D [词义猜测题。根据画线词的上一句“Overall,everyone's brain showed activity in a region of the brain related to processing sound,no matter what errors they heard.”可知,每个人的大脑中与处理声音有关的区域都变得活跃。由此可推知,他们应该是在认真专注地听音乐,所以画线单词intently意为“专心致志地”,故选D。]
4.B [推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“What happens in your brain when you hear a wrong note in a piece of music?Researchers from the University of Tokyo found that this depends on whether you've had music lessons or not.”可知,本文主要介绍了一项科学研究,因此本文最有可能出自报纸的科学版块。故选B。]

I have recently begun my year abroad working as an English language teacher in Italy and for my first lesson I was asked to prepare a speech about my life in the UK.Then the students asked me questions to find out more and many of them asked,“Do you play any sports?”,to which I replied,“Yes,I play netball.” Each time,they were astounded as none of the students had heard of netball!
Netball is very popular in the UK,Australia and New Zealand.It is a team sport which is similar to both basketball and handball.There are seven players on each team.Players must throw the ball to one another and the goal of the game is to pass the ball to the “Goal Shooter” who can throw the ball into the net to score a goal.However,the key parts of netball are that you cannot bounce(使……弹跳) the ball and you cannot move your feet when you have the ball.This is called the footwork rule and it can be quite difficult to learn for young children playing the game!A full match lasts for one hour and in a single match often about 100 goals are scored,which shows what a fastpaced and exciting game netball is!
Netball is usually played by women and girls.However,at many universities,there are mixed netball leagues in which teams must have both men and women players.In the UK,there are many different ways of trying to encourage people to play netball.One such way is called “Back to Netball”,which encourages women who have not played netball since they were at school to rediscover their love for the sport!Walking netball is another form of the sport aimed at older women and those who want to exercise in a gentler way.So,why not watch a video of netball online and then have a go for yourself?
