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 top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious (if often little-known) past lives as musicians, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, was a professional saxophone 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 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 co-founder of Microsoft, offers an answer. He says music ''builds up your confidence in the ability to create''. The music had the emotional 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.
1.How does Alan Greenspan find the connection between music training and professional achievements?
A.It's relatively weak. B.It's not common fact.
C.It's not a coincidence. D.It's widely acknowledged.
2.What quality does music equip Chuck Todd with?
A.Teamwork. B.Confidence.
C.Creativity. D.Tolerance.
3.How does the author mainly develop the text？
A.By comparing different facts. B.By debating and concluding.
C.By self-questioning and answering. D.By offering concrete examples.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.Music contributes to success. B.Music is the universal language.
C.Music can change your career. D.Music is linked to academic success.
Want to get your package delivered via robots? Now there’s an app for that. If you live in Washington D.C., or Redwood, you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many curious onlookers.
The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focusing on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world. This week, the company unveiled plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include package, a move that led it to declare itself “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The next time you order food, this cute robot might roll up to deliver it. The package delivery service is not available to everyone yet.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4mph and can detect obstacles from 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through anything,” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D.C. office, sad, “If you had something in the way-a stick –it’s able to climb sticks.”
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”, a unique address inside a Starship facility, where they can have package sent from places such as Amazon.com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notification that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers via a mobile phone code.
Barriers exist for robotic ground delivery, with many states requiring that humans be in control of delivery robots. Those regulations haven’t stopped Starship Technologies from accumulating experience on streets around the globe ahead of the company’s latest launch. The company says its robots have covered more than 125,000 miles in more than 100 cities in 20 countries.
1.What can we know about the robotic delivery?
A.It is part of a trial project by Starship Technologies.
B.The robotic delivery is available to everyone at present.
C.You can use the service free of charge via smart phones.
D.The robots are opened by customers with a text notification.
2.What does the underlined word“unveiled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Revised. B.Released. C.Restored. D.Reset.
3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The good news of the service.
B.How the robotic delivery works.
C.The disadvantages of the robotic delivery.
D.Robotic delivery develops despite challenges.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.New Robot Was Invented B.Wheelless Robots Are on the Way
C.How Robots Deliver Packages D.Packages Will Be Delivered by Robots
Recently Stiles aged 17 took her 3-year-old brother, James, to her high school. A family emergency prevented her parents from being able to pick up James. So they asked Stiles to step in.
“This was a one-time event; we have never had her get him from school other than this day. But it was an emergency,” her mother said. “I figured she had gone to get him and taken him home. Later that day I saw the picture online and realized that she had taken him back to school.”
