The researchers confirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents. Mr. Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later in their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words, “We teach music because music is important for us.”

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。哈佛大学最近的一项研究表明，没有证据证明接受了音乐教育的孩子比没有接受音乐教育的孩子的智商更高。

　　1.According to the new study, musical training ________.

　　A．makes children smarter

　　B．helps a child express creativity

　　C．does not make children more intelligent

　　D．improve children's ability to learn in school

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.”可推断，上过音乐培训课的孩子并不会比没上过音乐培训课的孩子更聪明。故选C项。

　　2．Samuel Mehr may agree that ________.

　　A．the children who attended music class are smarter than those who attended arts class

　　B．IQ is a good measure of a child's intelligence

　　C．we needn't to teach children music
