The Discovery of Magellans StraitCHave you ever found yourself in this situation（情形）: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast（冲击波） from the past,” as we say.

16、 The words（歌词） come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most di
17、fficult languages. Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults（成年人） and randomly（随机地） divided（划分） them into three groups of 20.

18、d group speak the words to a rhythm（伴着节奏）. And they asked the third group to sing the words. All three groups studied words from the Hungarian（匈牙利的） language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of（一系列的） language tests（测试） to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers s
19、aid they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots（根系） with Germanic（德国的） or Romance（罗马的） languages, such as Italian or Spanish.

21、when they are contained（包含） in a catchy（易记的） 3, or memorable（值得纪念的） 4, tune（曲调） 5. Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle（挣扎） to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental（实验的） evidence that a list
22、en-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area（领域）.”28. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to_.

27、y at least six feet（英尺） from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous （荒谬的）sayings have appeared:* TV makes kids stupid（愚蠢的）. Many children watch more educational（教育性的） programs（节目） when they are pre-schoolers（学龄前儿童）. When they grow up, they can read more books and have muc
28、h better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.* TV makes kids violent（暴力的）. The real story is not so simple.
