A recent research study suggests that learning music desn’t make yu smarter.
Fr a while, there was an idea fund n the Internet and in varius magazines that suggested that babies culd becme smarter if they listened t Mzart, r t ther classical music. Inspired, sme parents bught classical CDs fr their babies in the hpe that this wuld bst their intelligence. But this s-called “Mzart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessns surely different frm just listening t music? Wuldn’t taking music lessns make kids smarter? That’s exactly the questin that many researchers ver the years have tried t answer. Sme f their studies cncluded that it des, and sme fund that it desn’t. Fr example, ne study shwed that music educatin did nt imprve reading skills, while anther ne fund a small effect f music n yung children’s ability t learn wrds.
The researchers f the new study, Givanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gber (Lndn Schl f Ecnmics), lked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully cmparing the data frm different papers, they cncluded that children wh tk music lessns did nt scre higher n tests that measure their intelligence r academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music desn’t make yu smarter, hw des that explain ther research that shws that music lessns help students’ schl perfrmance? It seems like there is smething abut music lessns that makes students able t perfrm better in their ther classes. That desn’t have t be intelligence, and it’s likely nt. Music lessns culd have helped in different ways: They culd have led t a change in hmewrk habits, they culd have increased cnfidence, r they culd have imprved scial skills. And finally, they als mentin that music educatin culd still be beneficial t students’ perfrmance in nn-music subject if the music is cmbined with these classes. S feel free t keep making music, and keep encuraging children t learn music.

In the mrnings, as I walked frm the train statin t the ffice, I planned my day by making a t-d list in my head: the scientific articles I wuld read, the data sets I wuld analyze, and mst urgent f all — the insights int human nature that it was my jb t discver.
Each evening, I went back t the statin, again ging thrugh my mental checklist but this time sizing up my perfrmance against the expectatins I’d set fr myself that mrning. Time and again, when cmparing my t-d list with my gt-dne list, I felt frustrated because I had fallen shrt.
But ne day, smething very strange happened. During my trip hme, withut any cnscius intentin, my thughts began t change. Instead f feeling bad abut my weaknesses, I said alud very sftly: I’m a nice persn. I’m a nice persn. I’m a nice persn. By the time I barded my train, I was dne with my little chant until the next day when I walked hme. And again, after cunting my failures, I fund myself saying quietly: I’m a nice persn. It turns ut that there’s a technical term fr this practice: values affirmatin(肯定). And what it emphasizes is recgnizing and strengthening the persnal values.
When yu affirm a cre persnal value, yu raise yur sense f self-wrth. Yu braden yur utlk: Instead f fcusing n yur shrtfalls, yu switch t a wide-angle view that includes yur resurces and pprtunities. And the peple wh d this are happier, healthier, and mre hpeful. Overtime, I made prgress in my research and learned a lt abut what makes mst successful peple special, including this: Nbdy has passin and determinatin unless what they d lines up with their values.
Try values affirmatin fr yurself and teach the practice t yur students. Take a mment and think f a value yu hld, whether it’s kindness, creativity, r gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say t yurself: Cme what may, I knw wh I am. Yur values are yur fundatin and yur cmpass, t. Trust them, and they will lead yu hme.
56. Hw did the authr feel when cmparing his t-d list with his gt-dne list at the beginning?
A. Satisfied.
B. Pleased.
C. Disappinted.
D. Uncncerned.
57. What des the underlined wrds “sizing up” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Changing.
B. Frming.
C. Denying.
D. Judging.
58. The authr affirmed his values by .
A. strengthening a cre persnal value t himself
B.talking alud t himself n his way hme
C.cunting his failures
D. making his t-d list
59. What des values affirmatin mean t peple?
A. It changes peple’s fcus t their shrtcmings.
B. It imprves their sense f self-wrth.
C. It limits their resurces and pprtunities.
D. It makes them mre critical f themselves.
60. What’s the authr’s suggestin t readers?
