And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found t

18、hat people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch（音调）One of the studys authors，Nina K

19、raus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin（普通

20、话）speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding（编码） of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，t

21、he researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings：squint，bewilder and rice. Th

22、e researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native

23、speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.24. When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find _.Ahe has a difficult time learning music at the same timeBhe has an easier time learning music at the same timeCit is hard to master the tones required to speak and understandDit is eas

26、han English SpeakersBSkilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyCPitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningDSchools Need to Develop Music Programs CAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of communit

27、y in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit （追求） to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and

28、schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （发起）the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other Am

29、erican cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged o

30、f parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-s

31、ized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they
