He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.

The Relationship between Memory and Music答案：B主旨大意题。本文的第一句就提到了Samuel Osmond，后面讲述了他的音乐天赋，所以选B“一位音乐天才的故事”。BResearchers at the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, the United Kingdom, looked at the ability to recall information in the presence of different sounds. They instructed 25 participants between ages 18 and 30 to try to memorize, and later recall a list of letters in order.Participants were tested under various listening conditions: quiet, music that theyd said they liked, music that theyd said they didnt like, a voice repeating the number three, and a voice reciting random singledigit numbers. The study found that participants performed worst while listening to music, regardless of whether they liked that music, and to the speech of random numbers. They did the best in the quiet and while listening to the repeated three.Music may damage cognitive abilities in these situations because if youre trying to memorize things in order, you may get thrown off by the changing words and notes in your chosen song.In the 1990s, listening to the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was thought to increase spatial(空间的) abilities, but subsequent research failed to find the same effect. But other studies have found a “Schubert effect” for people who like the music of Franz Schubert, and a “Stephen King effect” for people who liked a narrated story by that author. The explanation for all of this could be that when you hear something you like, it heightens your arousal and mood, which improves performance.The new study does not necessarily contradict(与矛盾) those previous findings, but does suggest some limitations on the benefits of music in memorizing lists of things in order. It may still be the case that listening to music before performing a task like that helps cognitive abilities. But this new research suggests that it might be better to study for an exam in quiet, or listen to music beforehand.Still, given the small sample size, the study provides only preliminary(初步的) results that need to be further explored in other experiments. 本文为说明文。实验表明，边做事边听音乐会影响做事的效果。这颠覆了以往人们对音乐的肯定。在作者看来，音乐是否影响工作和学
