Passage One The popular idea that classical music can improve your maths is falling form favor. New experiments have failed to support the widely p
4、ublicized finding that Mozarts music promotes mathematical thinking. Researchers reported six years age that listening to Mozart brings about short-tem improvements in spatial-temporal reasoning, the type of thinking used in maths. Gordon Shaw of the University of California at Irvine and Frances Ra
5、uscher of the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh had asked students to perform spatial tasks such as imagining how a piece of paper would look if it were folded and cut in a certain pattern. Some of the students then listened to a Mozart sonata and took the test again. The performance of the Mozart
6、group improved, Shaw found. He reasoned that listening to Mozart increases the number of connections between neurons. But Kenneth Steele of Appalachian State University in North Carolina learnt that other studies failed to find this effect. He decided to repeat one of Shaws experiments to see for hi
7、mself. Steele divided 125 students into three groups and tested their abilities to work out how to paper would look if cut and folded. One group listened to Mozart, another listened to a piece by Philip Glass and the third did not listen to anything. Then the students took the test again. No group s
8、howed any statistically significant improvement in their abilities. Steele concludes that the Mozart effect doesnt exist. Its about as unproven and as unsupported as you can get. he says. Shaw, however, defends his study. One reason he gives is that people who perform poorly in the initial test get
9、the greatest boost from Mozart, but Steele didnt separate his students into groups based on ability. Were still at the stage where it needs to be examined. Shaw says. I suspect that the more we understand the neurobiology, the more well be able to design tests that give a robust effect. 61. It has b

Steeles wrong selection of the testees C. Steeles ignorance of neurobiology D. Steeles test design Passage Two Long-suffering couples take
14、 heart. There is a good reason for those endless arguments in the front of the car: men and women use different parts of the brain when they try to find their way around, suggesting that the strategies they use might also be completely different. Matthias Riepe and his colleagues at the University o
15、f Ulm in Germany asked 24 healthy volunteers-half of them men, half women-to find their way out of three virtual-reality mazes displayed on video goggles. Meanwhile, the researchers monitored the volunteers brain activity using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. This showed that
16、 men and women called on strikingly different brain areas to complete the task. I didnt expect it to be so dramatic, says Riepe. Previous students have been shown that woman rely manly on landmarks to find their way. Men use these cues too, but they also use geometric cues, such as the angle and sha
17、pe of a wall or a corner. Such studies also suggest that men navigate their way out of unfamiliar spaces more quickly, as Riepe found in his study, too. Riepe discovered that both men and women used parts of the parietal cortex towards the top of the brain, the right side of the hippocampus and a fe
18、w other well-established areas to find their way out. Neuroscientists think that the parietal regions help translate what the eyes see into information about where the body is in space, while the hippocampal region helps progress how objects are arranged. But other regions seemed to be exclusively m
19、ale or female. The men engaged the left side of their hippocampus, which the researchers say could help with assessing geometry or remembering whether they have already visited a location. The women, by contrast, recruited their right frontal cortex. Riepe says this may indicate that they were using
