A talented teen painter in Waterbury is helping her very sick father with her love of art. The
15-year-old girl from Waterbury could become a well-known artist one day. For now, though, part of
her love for painting is the chance to help her dad, who’s ill. “It’s kind of like an ache — a heartbreak,”
she said. “You never want to see one of your loved ones get hurt. ”
Her father is suffering from type-one diabetes (糖尿病 ) and is having trouble affording his
mounting medical bills. “I’m suffering from heart disease, and blindness from my diabetes,” her
father said. Angie has decided to put her talent as an artist to good use.
On Saturday, Sept. 23 from noon to 4 p. m., she’s hosting her own one-day art exhibition to sell
her paintings and raise money mainly for her father’s medical bills. “Angie’s Art Exhibition” will be
4
at the North End Recreation Centre, located at 262 North Main Street in Waterbury. She’s also using
it to help the Fairfield Animal Shelter. Angie loves animals—you see that on many of her paintings.
This isn’t the first time Angie has put her paintbrush to good use helping others. Her mother tells
News 8 that Angie has also used her work to help her community: a local family who lost their father,
and children who needed school supplies.
“She has an angelic heart. If there were more people like her in the world, there wouldn’t be so
much chaos and hate. I just look up to her and say ‘I’m very proud of you,’ ” her father said.
“My dad’s a great person. Though he goes through this, he still loves me and supports me in any
way he can. It makes me feel important, ” she said.
24. What is the main reason why Angie is hosting her own art exhibition

B. To become a well-known artist.

C
Is there a friend of yours who always sings out of tune (曲调) but never realizes it Don’t be so
hard on them — they may have amusia (失音症) — the inability to tell the difference in tunes.
Apart from singing out of tune, people with amusia may also find it hard to recognize music
they’ve heard before without the help of song lyrics. Besides, people who suffer from amusia can
have difficulty in recognizing melodies and a total inability to tell between different musical sounds,
5
according to Live Science. However, people with amusia can recognize common environmental
sounds as well as the high and low sounds in human voices, meaning that this inability can be
specially related to music.
In many cases, people who have amusia are born with it, as 46 percent of these individuals’
family members were found to have similar conditions, according to a 2017 study. Brain imaging
shows that their brains receive and respond to music pitch (音高) information, but it is not reaching
conscious awareness, meaning that the mind can’t understand the information.
Scientists at the University of Otago in New Zealand also think that amusia is related to
people’s special processing skills. They invited people with amusia, musicians and students from
non-musical backgrounds to perform a task related to spacia（l 空间的）imagination. They were asked
to decide whether pairs of images are the same object moving around or mirror images.
The result showed that the amusia group made more mistakes than the other two groups.
Amusia might be related to the way brain stores information about the high and low sounds in songs,
according to the study.
Although those who aren’t confident about their singing skills often say they’re “tune-deaf”,
people with amusia only make up about 1.5 percent of the population, as shown in the study. “Like
dyslexics (诵读困难者 ) can learn how to read, those with amusia should be able to better their
ability to recognize tunes if they start early enough,” Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology from
the University of Montreal in Canada, told Live Science.
28. According to the article, what is the main difficulty faced by people with amusia
A. Recognizing tunes. B. Identifying human voices.
C. Understanding song lyrics. D. Recognizing common environmental sounds.
29. What did the 2017 study tell us about amusia
A. It is a result of brain damage.
B. It is very popular among old people.
C. Those who are tune-deaf often suffer from amusia.
D. Many individuals with amusia are born with it.
30. According to Peretz, how can people with amusia improve their musical ability
A. Start to explore and learn music early. B. Sing frequently with friends.
C. Learn how to read earlier in life. D. Go for medical treatment.
6
31. What is the main idea of the article
A. The effects of music on brain function.
B. The symptoms and causes of amusia.
C. Ways for individuals with amusia to learn to sing.
D. The impact of environmental sound on humans.
