Glastonbury Festival is an English music festival that attracts(吸引) people who like modern music, dance, comedy, drama, circus(马戏) and other performing arts. It is held at Somerset, England every year and usually runs on the last weekend of June.
Glastonbury was first started in the 1970s by Michael Eavis,a farmer in Somerset. And the first Glastonbury Festival began with an open-air concert. Glastonbury Festival was also known in its early years as the Pilton Festival, and it was a huge success with hippies(嬉皮士).

Although it has gotten big, it keeps its traditions, such as the Green Fields Area, which includes the Green Futures and the Healing Field. These good traditions help the natural environment. Also, the festival helps raise millions of pounds for good causes.
It is said that 135, 000 fans will go to this year's Glastonbury Festival. The Rolling Stones(滚石乐队) will lead a show. Fans will also be able to enjoy wonderful performances by the Arctic Monkeys(“北冰洋猴子”乐队) and Mumford and Sons(“马姆福德和儿子们”乐队).

Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 36 Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. 37 The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
38 Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐). When the violinists 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 pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
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. 39 Why does this work Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 40 Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. It can even help sick people get better.
B. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.
C. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
D. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.
E. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.
36. 37. 38. 39. 40.
