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 are finding 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 uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example, reading notes improves spatial reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions.

Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale and hippocampus.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 pouring in, 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．Scientists are studying music because________.

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

D．music education has received a lot of attention

2．According to the Canadian study，which children had increased IQ scores?

A．Those who already had high IQs.

B．Those who had always played music.

C．Those who could not play any instrument.

D．Those who studied music for a period of time.

3．Which of the following is a kind of disease?

A．Spatial reasoning.

B．Alzheimer's.

C．The amygdale and hippocampus.

D．The medial prefrontal cortex.

4．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Music and health B．Music and the mind

C．Music and education D．Music and instruments

Humans aren't the only ones getting a buzz from coffee.Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and leads to better pollination(授粉)，according to a recent study published in the journal Science.

The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.They found that the nectar(花蜜)of some flowers，such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants，as well as certain coffee flowers，contains low doses of caffeine.To get bees to feed on these flowers，the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers.They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar，but did not contain caffeine.After 24 hours，the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.

Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. “Remembering floral traits(花部特征)is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we have found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are，” Wright said in a statement.

Improved memory led to the better pollination.That's because once bees sip the caffeine nectar，they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate.This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees' ability to search for food.

Researchers found that caffeine's effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. “The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons(神经元)associated with learning and memory in the rat brain，” Wright said.

Bee populations have been declining since 2007.The dramatic drop in the insects' numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry.Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species.Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.

5．Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?

A．Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.

B．Bee populations have been increasing.

C．The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.

D．Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.

6．After reading the passage，John，who works in the farming industry，will probably feel ________.

A．angry B．annoyed

C．nervous D．excited

7．Which of the following relationships is correct according to the passage?

A．improved memory → caffeine nectar → better pollination

B．caffeine nectar → improved memory → better pollination

C．improved memory →better pollination → caffeine nectar

D．caffeine nectar → better pollination → improved memory

8．We can know from the passage that ________.

A．the rat is a mammal

B．caffeine has nothing to do with memory

C．bees are good at remembering floral traits

D．Geraldine Wright did the research on his own
