You know that thrill(兴 奋 )you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feeling when

30、you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study，it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading，but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music，reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we would do a comparison betwe

31、en four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted，”explains Adam Zeman，a scientist. “ The participants (参 与 者 )lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts，and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts ranged (涉 及 )from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones，

32、including the Highway Code，parts from novels，and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed，participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts，there was higher activity in brain are

33、as related to pleasure and rewardthe same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says，“ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature(文 学 )and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesnt seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get

34、a thrill. That was one quite strong finding.”Introspection(内 省 )There were more interesting findings.

35、ity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. “ These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting，like thinking about whats happened to us recently，thinking about whats going to happen in the near future，about other people，and that network seems

36、 to be more strongly related to poetry than with other texts，”explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could be the subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says，“ the study did

37、support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”1What did the research try to find out?AHow music helps us read different ki

The fact is that they arent.Some statist

56、ics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign lan

57、guage and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conv

58、ersation in English. Thats why many people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students arent required to learn a foreign language.
