Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: (1)   Here, we look at two examples.

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. (2)   The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

(3)   Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. (4)   Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. (5)   Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.

A. It can even help sick people get better.

B.Music helps people solve some hearing problems.

C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.

E. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.

F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

G. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.

There are purple clothes, purple handbags, purple bicycles, purple furniture, even purple computers! So purple is one of the most(1)   colors today. But in the past, purple was a very expensive and unusual color. Let's take a look at the rich(2)   of the color purple.

Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago(3)   looked purple, not green. Plants today are green because(4)   use green chlorophyll (叶绿素) to produce energy. (5)   these early plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple color.

During the time of the Roman Empire (37BC﹣476AD), it was very(6)   to make purple dye (染料). The dye came from sea snails (海螺).But 10,000 dead sea snails(7)   you just one gram (克)of purple dye…as well as a very bad smell! This(8)   purple dye was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred(9)   of emperors.

In 16th﹣﹣century England, purple was(10)   for the kings family members. Queen Elizabeth I's clothes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed to(11)   the color.

In 1856, William Perkin, an 18﹣year﹣old(12)   student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment (实验). The chemicals (化学药品) he used to clean his instruments(13)   with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This(14)   led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much(15)   than sea﹣snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.
