One f the mst deeply-rted myths in parenting is the s-called Mzart effect, which says that listening t music by the Austrian cmpser Wlfgang Amadeus Mzart can increase a child’s intelligence. The idea has been prmted by advcates fr arts educatin and by retailers(零售商) wh sell special recrdings f Mzart’s wrks fr infants(婴儿) and tddlers(学步的儿童). Sme pregnant wmen have even gne s far as t play Mzart recrdings n headphnes pressed against their bellies.
S, if yu have kids r yu’re expecting t have them, hw seriusly shuld yu take the Mzart effect? Will the child wh has n access t Mzart s music when brn live a life f medicrity(平庸)? Relax. There is n scientific evidence that listening t Mzart imprves children’s cgnitive abilities.
The whle idea came frm a small study dne in 1993, which fund that cllege students wh listened t Mzart’s Snata fr Tw Pians in D Majr (K 448) shwed slight imprvement in a test f spatial reasning( 空间推理). This finding was later turned int smething unrealistic by the musician and entrepreneur(企业家) Dn Campbell, wh in 1997 published the best seller The Mzart Effect: Tapping the Pwer f Music t Heal the Bdy, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlck the Creative Spirit. Campbell’s claims abut the amazing pwer f Mzart s music was repeated endlessly in the media and sped up the enthusiasm fr Mzart-based enrichment activities.
Since then, scientists have examined the claim that Mzart bsts intelligence and fund n evidence fr it. The riginal experiment with cllege students was reviewed in 1999, and the increase in the students’ spatial skills was fund t be negligible. In 2007 the German Federal Ministry f Educatin and Research cmmissined a team f experts t examine the scientific literature regarding Mzart and child develpment, and they fund n reasn t believe that it bsted intelligence.
8. Wh might be in favr f Mzart effect?
A Peple wh are ppsed t arts educatin.

C. Businessmen wh sell tys and infant fd.

9. What sped up peple’s behavir f listening t Mzart’s music?
A. Peple have benefited a lt frm listening t Mzart s music.
B.Dn Campbell successfully sld Mzart s music recrdings.
C. The media repeatedly stressed the the amazing pwer f Mzart s music.
D. A small study shwed Mzart’s music culd make students much smarter.
10. What des the underlined wrd “negligible” in the last paragraph mean?

11. What’s the purpse f the passage?

The livestreaming and fast delivery industry have attracted s many yung peple that the industrial sectr is shrt f manpwer. “My advice is t encurage mre yung peple t wrk in the factries and less in the express delivery sectr,” Zhang Xinghai, a deputy t the Natinal Peple’s Cngress, China’s tp legislature, said during the nging NPC annual sessin.
Zhang wants mre yung peple t wrk in the factries s that China’s manufacturing (制造业) sectr cntinues t flurish.
Whatever jb yung peple d is a matter f chice, but the manufacturing sectr is facing a labr crunch (短缺) fr t many peple prefer jbs in ther sectrs.
A survey cnducted by the Ministry f Human Resurces and Scial Security in the third quarter f 2021 fund that f 100 jbs that were facing a manpwer crunch, 58 were in the manufacturing sectr. By 2025, the shrtage in 10 key manufacturing industries culd be as high as 30 millin.
It is time sme strng measures were taken t attract peple back t the factries. This can be dne by raising the salaries f factry wrkers.
Accrding t a survey in Guangzhu, capital f Guangdng prvince, the annual incme f express delivery wrkers in the city is mre than 100,000 yuan ($15,831). In cntrast, the average mnthly salary f thse ding blue-cllar jbs in Guangdng in 2020 was just 7,108 yuan, r abut 84,000 yuan a year. That gap surely needs t be reduced.
Besides, the legal rights and interests f thse ding blue-cllar jbs need t be better prtected. Express delivery wrkers can decide when they want t wrk, but factry wrkers have t wrk whenever the factry demands.
Therefre, the authrities shuld prtect factry wrkers’ rights t weekends, 8-hur wrking schedules and paid leave.
Als, the prmtin and salary grwth structure f factry wrkers must be clearly defined. In a nutshell, t lure yung peple back t the factries, it is necessary t make blue-cllar jbs mre attractive.
12. What can we infer frm Zhang Xinghai’s wrds?
A. The future f the express delivery sectr is hpeless.
B. Wrking in factries in China are attractive t yung peple.
C. Mst yung peple are unwilling t wrk in the manufacturing sectr.

B. Emplyment rate in China will be dramatically increased by 2025.
C. There are 10 manufacturing industries facing manpwer shrtage in ttal.
D. The industrial sectr is facing a severe labr shrtage.
14. Which is NOT the reasn fr manpwer shrtage in factries?
A. Flexible wrking hurs.B. Lwer incmes.
C. Undefined prmtin structure.D. Unprtected legal rights.
