Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes. Here, let’s look at the following two.
Music and Hearing
A recent study by researcher Nina Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can make a person’s hearing ability become better. In the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group weren’t. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
Think about violinists in a show. When they play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and leave out the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Music and Speaking
Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke（中风）patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to finally speak. Why does this work Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to help patients to use the brain again.
From the results, we can know that music is a good influence on concentration, the ability to focus on one thing. It works on listening and speaking skills as well. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school as well. So music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.
71．Which two groups of people took part in Nina Kraus’ study
A．Noisy people and quiet people.
B．Musicians and non-musicians.
C．Violinists and other musicians.
72．Why are the violinists mentioned（提及）in paragraph 3
A．To describe what they did in a show.
B．To show how important they are in the study.
C．To better explain why musicians hear more clearly.
73．How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak
A．By playing music for them.
B．By asking them to sing words.
C．By getting them to play an instrument.
74．What’s the passage mainly about
A．Music makes people listen carefully and hear well.
B．Music can be well used in medical research.
C．Music helps with people’s language abilities.
75．In which magazine might we read this passage
A． B． C．

Playing computer games is usually seen as a waste of time. However, what if you could learn something from a game Students from Chengdu No. 7 Middle School recently created four games that are both educational and fun.
Four groups of students from the Roblox, a famous game organization, were given the task of creating educational games on any topic. The first group used the knowledge of physics and chemistry to make the game Arrow Round-the-World. In the game, players go on an journey on an island and finish tasks with the knowledge they learned in physics and chemistry. Here’s one task. It is about creating a material to balance（平衡）the two sides of the scale so that the player can cross the river.
Another game called YOUNIVERSE gives players a task-fighting with the devils（魔鬼）inside their minds such as worry, stress and so on. They created six cards. All of the cards are “guns” that players can use to fight against devils, but the failure to use them in a balanced way will result in the risk of becoming devils themselves. The idea is to find a balance between their stress at present and their ambition（雄心）for the future.
The other two groups focus on a bigger picture. Cover the Nest is a story about our future world where the environment is polluted terribly and society is unsafe. The players can feel the harm humans have done to the Earth by traveling through rich and poor neighborhoods in a future world. Another game Back to China takes the players to different places in China, like mountains and deserts. It will soon be included in Roblox so that people from around the world can experience the beauty of China.
