Theres a reason we refer to music as the“universal language”；there has been no known human culture without music,Dancingandmusic came before agriculture, and possibly even before languageThe fact that whale music andhuman music have so much in common suggests that music may exist before humans and that wemay be latecomers to the musical scene rather than being the inventors of musicWe begin life being affected by music; babies first begin to respond to music even beforetheir birth，Whether or not its true, everyone has heard that playing classical music; for your babysupposedly helps him or her become smarter. A study done in the United Kingdom concluded thatchildren were able to .recognize and even preferred music that they had heard lip to three monthsbefore birth. Although it made no difference whether it was rock music or country music, thebabies who were exposed to faster songs showed a stronger preference for that song than thosewho had heard something slower. Researchers have also found that the playing of soft backgroundmusic or a mothers soft singing actually helps premature (早产的）babies. Those who were.subjected to the music tended to gain weight faster and were able to leave hospitals earlier thanthose who werent. However, the study in the UK uncovers no links between babies listening tomusic and increased intelligence or brain development.Another experiment at the University of California at Irvine compared the puzzle-solvingabilities of 3-year-olds who were given piano lessons with those of others who sang, usedcomputers, or did nothing. The children studying the piano were better at the puzzlesAlso, highschool students with a musical background seem to do better in their SATs，Whether its naturalintelligence that helps the children do better in both music and math，or the music that helpsdevelop other areas, you cant deny the benefits of a musical background.On the other hand, its possible that some music and lyrics（歌词）could be had for childrenand teenagersThe lyrics of todays popular music are stated more and more clearly. A study oilmass media and teenagers showed that a group of 14- to 16-year-olds in 10 different southeasterncities listened to music an average of 40 hours per week. Obviously, the music they are listeningto plays a large part in their lives，and especially influences self-identity. So any bad influencesin the music will have a very direct effect on the teenagers.Several other experiments mentioned in the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement on the Effect of Music Lyrics and Music Videos on Children and Youth supported this idea. One study from Sweden found that children who developed a preference to rock music were more likely to be influenced by their peers than by their parents. Others showed links between a predilection for heavy metal and detrimental behaviors, including taking drugs, self-killing risk, and other risk-taking habits. The American Acajeny of Pediatries (AAP) doesnt support the idea of censorship（检查制度）, but strongly encourages parents to monitor what their children are listening to.50.Music is regarded as the “universal longunge” because_51.Acording to Paragrapg 3,what afgerts bubies preference for songs?A.The tone B.The specal C.The style D.The lyries【参考答案】50、C 5154、BDAD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.1.
