If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person、
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation、 They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music、
“Facts suggest that exercise improves the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study、 “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding、 We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added、

Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s、 By 2019, psychologists were using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders、 Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting and has clear structures、 A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test、 With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music、 But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them、

C、 “The Four Seasons” is often used to help children with speech disorders、
D、 The purpose of the test was to make clear if music is helpful to learning ability、

A、 We are supposed to follow our patents’ words
B、 students should not listen to music before exams
C、 we have some good reasons to exercise to music
D、 music can probably help us to get higher grades in tests
