Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proven it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children's intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today's children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children's health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children's moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy (音乐疗法)” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
1．By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show ________.
A．why adults should listen to music
B．children should listen to music
C．listening to music is only good for adults
D．why scientists are interested in music
2．What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Harms. B．Changes.
C．Improves. D．Shows.
3．The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means ________.
A．learning languages better
B．understanding foreign cultures better
C．accepting the fast developing world easily
D．showing greater interest in other cultures
4．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Why do Children Love Music
B．How to Choose Music for Children
C．How to Teach Children Music Easily
D．Why is Music Important to Children
B
Hospitals employ many therapeutic (治疗的) methods, such as medication (药物治疗), massage (按摩) therapy and music therapy.And music therapy is growing in popularity.
Sandra Siedliecki is a Senior Scientist at the Nursing Institute of Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.She says music is a low cost treatment.And she says scientists have done a lot of research on music's effect on pain.Dr.Marian Good did a lot of studies looking at surgery (外科) patients and the use of music.In her studies, patients just listened to relaxing music.Dr.Good found that her surgery patients took fewer painkillers after they listened to music.Music had a good effect on short term pain.However, chronic pain, the kind that recurs (复发) continually, changed a little under the effect of music.
Dr.Linda Chlan was studying something different.She was not interested in patients' pain, but instead, their anxiety.She spent a lot of time with people who were in the hospital because their anxiety was so great that they couldn't breathe.People with this condition often have to use breathing machines.Dr.Chlan said that the machines sometimes did little to improve their condition.Sometimes they even made things worse.The patients would become more anxious.Dr.Chlan let nurses tell patients that music was a good choice to make them feel better.They also placed signs near the patients' beds — Listen to your music at least twice a day.The people who listened to music had a reduction (减少) in the amount of medication they received.In addition, their anxiety reduced by about 36 percent.
Both doctors had similar explanations for why music was so helpful.Music can be a very powerful distracter (干扰) in the brain when we're listening to music that is pleasing and then it interrupts stressful thoughts.
5．Dr.Marian Good's studies show that music therapy ______.
A．can help patients recover fast
B．cannot take the place of medication

C．Stress. D．Medicine.
8．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage
A．To show that music therapy is useful.
