    One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the socalled Mozart effect which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development He was history's greatest child genius performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"

So if you have kids or you're expecting to have them how seriously should you take the Mozart effect Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle (摇篮) be limited to an ordinary life Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart

Relax There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993 which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major K 448showed some improvement in a test of spatial (空间的) skills This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician Don Campbell in a book Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozartbased enrichment activities In 1998 for example the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classicalmusic CDs to all parents of newborns in the state

Since then scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999 and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence

1.People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he     

A.owned extraordinary music talent.

B.could perform music as a child.

C.offered music to pregnant women.

D.was an royal Austrian composer.

2.What can we know about the small study in 1993

A.It added to the popularity of Mozart's music

B.It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect

C.It helped college students make academic progress

D.It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music

3.What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean

A.Sudden

B.Insignificant

C.Average

D.Steady

4.What can be the best title for the text

A.New Findings Mozart Effect to Be Proved.

B.Secrets Uncovered History of Mozart Effect.

C.Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter

D.How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence

    Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you Now it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old

A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machinelearning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age

To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive (认知的) testing since they were 3 years old

When the volunteers all aged between 43 and 46 underwent MRI brain scans the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71 Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition memory and IQ The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly and vice versa (反之亦然). However the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngestlooking brains

This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia (痴呆) to be started sooner This means treatments might have a better chance of working

We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise these aren't a bad place to start

1.What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing

A.One's health condition

B.A test result at the age of 3

C.The actual age of one's brain

D.A machine for medical check

2.What is the purpose of Elliott's research

A.To find out why people look older or younger

B.To measure people's brain age at different stages

C.To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines

D.To explore the relationship between brain age and future health

3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about

A.The influence of cognitive tests

B.The procedure of Elliott's study

C.The information about volunteers

D.The findings of the brain research

4.What do the findings of the research imply

A.We should test our brain age earliest possible

B.People suffering dementia can go on working

C.Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age

D.Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing
