第4题：
To learn an instrument such as the violin or accordion (手风琴) takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford?
The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person′s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing your IQ by up to 12 points!
When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus (胎儿) can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional (成比例的) to the amount of practicing.
Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shiniehi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be "unmusical". Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.
Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument? Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get together) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone (长号) or take your first real six-string down from the attic (阁楼); get out there and play!
Playing which of the following musical instruments can help increase a person′ s IQ most?A.The piano.
B.The violin.

问答题“THE JAZZ AGE” refers to the decade after World War I, when the nation became predominantly urban. It took its name from the rich and varied new popular music which was essentially a creation of the Negro in the city. Historians cannot agree on the origin of the word “jazz”: some say it is of African or Creole origin, and others say that it derived from the name of a musician. But there is no denying that this American form of music originated with Negroes in the first age of their migration to the city, and jazz flourished primarily because of the talent, energy, and imagination of Negroes in cities. In Europe, too, the years after World War I were an age of musical experiment. But jazz was a more democratic, more communal kind of experiment. For the old World saw developing novel forms of “art music”, of salon and concert-hall music.正确答案：
“爵士乐时代”指的是第一次世界大战后的十年,当时城市居民已占全国人口的多数,而爵士乐则得名于主要由城市黑人创作的一种丰富多彩的新型流行音乐。历史学家对jazz(爵士)这个词的来源看法不一:有的说它源自非洲或克里奥耳语,有的说它原本是一位音乐家的名字。然而,不容否认的是,这一美国音乐形式是黑人移居城市后最初阶段的产物,爵士乐主要是靠城市黑人的天才、活力和想象力盛行起来的。在欧洲,第一次世界大战之后的年代同样也是音乐实验的时代。不过爵士乐是一种更民主、更大众化的音乐实验,而在旧世界发展起来的则是“艺术音乐”的新形式,即沙龙和音乐厅音乐。解析： 暂无解析 -
