They found that persons who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldis The Four Seasons did much better in language ability tests than those without music.The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to the music during exercise. Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system (神经系统）and have a direct result on learning ability,” said the psychologist (心理学家) Charles Emery. Scientists have found that music can be good for health and education. It helps relieve (摆脱）stress, sadness and nervousness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.Psychologists have been using Mozarts music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech problems. Mozart is chosen because his music is not over-exciting. The study shows students who often exercise to Mozarts music go on to score higher marks in tests. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.6 .

It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, LettersAlive, is bringing back this old habit.LettersAlive invites famous actors and actresses but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, only one person walks up to a microphone and reads a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode(集), they read a letter written by the famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.“Every letter opens another world for us，” said Guan Zhangwen, the director of the TV show. “It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.” Since its first episode on December 5, 2016, LettersAlive has been widely praised. Many audiences(观众) say that it has provided a breath of fresh air to todays TV shows.Besides LettersAlive, some other cultural TV shows have also attracted Chinese audiences.
