BReading online news.CReading online novels. DPlaying online games.31What can we infer from the last paragraph?ASpending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.BThose who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.CMost people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.DPeople should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.DIn all the world's cultures，people sing，play instruments，and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study，including one looking at the biology of music.Experts find that because of the way our brains process music，learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math，science，and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months，discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain，increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example，reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills，which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数)Music is also used for medical purposes，such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead，the medial prefrontal cortex，connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's，listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music's benefits，it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment，music is also great for the brain.32Scientists are studying music because _.Amusic can be used for medical treatmentsBmusic plays a very important role in our livesCour brains can process music in different waysDmusic education has received a lot of attention33According to the Canadian study，which children increased IQ scores?AThose who already had high IQ scores.BThose who always played music.CThose who could not play any instrument.DThose who studied music for a period of time.34Which of the following is a kind of disease?ASpatial reasoning.
