单选题Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate. (76)It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body. (77) The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.

This might work for hermits, but it can foster anxiety. It allows colleagues to 'come up and startle you, and maybe see what was on your screen,' says industrial designer Douglas Ball.

单选题Sending your children to piano or violin lessons in a bid to boost their academic achievement is a waste of money, according to scientists. Although research has shown that youngsters who take music lessons are more likely to be 25 of their class, psychologist Glenn Schellenberg claims this link is 26 . Instead, improved academic performance may be because brighter children from privileged 27 are more likely to learn an instrument, rather than music classes helping to boost their 28 . 'Music may 29 you a bit, but it's also the case that different children take music lessons,' said Professor Schellenberg of the University of Toronto, who added that parents' education was the most influential 30 on musicality. 'Children who take music lessons come from families with higher incomes, they come from families with more 31 parents, they also do more extracurricular (课外的) activities, they have higher IQs, and they do better at school.'
