Module 4 Section III Grammar能力提升I .阅读理解AListening to music is considered a good thing for adults.Indeed it is.Scientific studies have proven it.Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music.Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music.But some parents don*t know the importance of music to children.Here are some reasons why music is important to children.First, music is good for children's intelligence.Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music.This is because the brain gets stimulated （刺激）by the rhythm and tone of music.Music also has soothing （抚慰的）effect on children and helps remove their stress.Today children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork.Being under too much stress impairs children's health.Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.Music can improve children's moods.Some children are sad by nature.They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take interest in their surroundings.In such cases, a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue.lt changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn.Our world has become a global village.People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries.Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children.So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.【语篇解读】小孩接触音乐对他们很有好处，父母应该多让小孩接触音乐。1.
