In all the world's cultures，people sing，play instruments，and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study，including one looking at the biology of music.Experts find that because of the way our brains process music，learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
   Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math，science，and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months，discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain，increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example，reading notes improves spatial（空間的）reasoning skills，which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions （分?jǐn)?shù)）.
   Music is also used for medical purposes，such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead，the medial prefrontal cortex（腦前額葉外皮），connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale（杏仁核）and hippocampus（海馬體）.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's，listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
   With the evidence of music's benefits，it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment，music is also great for the brain.

（1）According to the Canadian study，which children increased IQ scores？
B
B

A．Those who already had high IQ scores.
B．Those who had always played music.
C．Those who could not play any instrument.

（2）Which of the following is a kind of disease？
B
B

A．Spatial reasoning.
B．Alzheimer's.
C．The amygdale and hippocampus.
D．The medial prefrontal cortex.
（3）Which can be the best title for the text？
C
C

A．Music and health
B．Music and education
C．Music and the mind
D．Music and instruments
（4）Scientists are studying music because
B
B
.
A．music can be used for medical treatments
B．music plays a very important role in our lives
C．our brains can process music in different ways

1．Edgar Degas，J.M.W.Turner and other painters captured centuries of atmospheric records as they decorated canvases with sunset scenes.
   Greek Scientists worked with an artist to confirm that the ratio of red to green in sunset painting，both old and new，increased when particles filled the air，such as after major volcanic eruption（火山噴發(fā)）or dust storms.The atmosphere physicists also found a gradual shift in artistic sunset hues over centuries，possibly due to ever-increasing air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
   An earlier study，led by atmospheric physicist Christos Zerefos of the Academy of Athens in Greece，discovered that the amount of red relative to green in sunset descriptions increased after eruptions，including Tambora，Indonesia in 1815，Coseguina，Nicaragua in 1835 and Krakatau，Indonesia in 1883.
   Zerefos' team analyzed 554 paintings created between 1550 and 1990.For up to three years after eruptions，sunsets reddened as sunlight bounced off dust and gas from the volcanoes.The latest study，also by Zerefos，used improved scanning and analysis techniques to confirm the earlier results.
   A modern painter，Panayiotis Tetsis，unknowingly repeated the artistic atmospheric observations of classical masters.In the artists' description of sunsets light over the Greek island of Hydra，the color ratio shifted towards red in paintings done both before（June 19，2010）and after （June 20，2010）a dust cloud from Sahara Desert filtered the sunset's light.
   Zerefos' team connected the timing of classical paintings' red shift to other records of the atmosphere trapped in ice cores from Greenland，in the recent study published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.The ice cores recorded spikes（尖刺）in sulfur-containing chemicals likely from volcanoes.These spikes corresponded in time to artists increasingly dark red sunsets.
   The comparison of ice and art also revealed a slow shift in the coloring of the sunset.As the factories of Europe roared into production in the 19th and early 20th century，painting described a steady increase in the red to green ratio.The ice cores recorded a steady rise in airborne particles from industrial pollution during the same time.

（1）The underlined word"hues"in the second paragraph probably means

.
A．a(chǎn)ngles
B．colors
C．locations
D．times
（2）What do we know about Zerefos' research from the passage？

A．Both modern and ancient artists describing sunset are involved in the research.
B．It confirmed an obvious increase in the ratio of green to red in sunset paintings.
C．The shift from green to red also existed in the records of ice cores trapped items.
D．The team used traditional techniques to confirm the earlier results of the research.
（3）How did Zerefos' team confirm that atmospheric records kept by painters were reliable？

A．By analyzing classical paintings.
B．By connecting time to color.
C．By comparing art with ice.
D．By working with an artist.
（4）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？

A．A Modern Research of Ancient Art and Ice with Pollution.
B．Art Masterpiece and Pollutants Trapped in Ice Cores.
C．An Increase in the Ratio of Red to Green in Paintings.
D．Art Masterpiece Recorded Centuries of Pollution.

3．How to be Creative？Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists，writers，or dancers，rather than ourselves. （1）

.The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.
   Get out of your comfort zone We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown.Break out of your usual patterns（模式）and welcome creativity into your life.As stated earlier，the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. （2）

.In fact，our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns.As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns，we rely less on creativity to find new paths.We should force ourselves out of our comfort zone and open up new possibilities.
   Try different things
   We are used to habits and routines，and creativity hates routines.If you usually drive to work，take the subway for a few days. （3）

.Interrupt your routine，experiment and try something new.New things are often creative，but the same old thing never is.
   （4）

   Having a great idea is not enough；you must work to make it a reality.Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago？Yet someone else is making money with "your" idea. （5）
