tocreate new solutions for a wide range of problems and come up with fresh ideas.The question ofwhat promotes creative ability has long been studied,and while music has previously been shownto benefit cognition(认知),little is known about how listening to music affects creative abilityspecifically.To study the effect of music on creative ability,researchers had 155 participants completequestionnaires and divided them into five experimental groups.Four groups each listened to oneof four different types of music that were classified as calm,happy,sad or anxious,depending ontheir different emotions(positive,negative)and excitement(high,low),while one control grouplistened to silence.After the music started playing,participants performed various tasks that tested their creativethinking.Participants who came up with the most original and useful solutions to a task scoredhigher in divergent(发散的)creativity,while participants who came up with the single bestpossible solution to a task scored higher in convergent(聚合的)creativity.The researchers found that listening to happy music,which they define as classical music thatis positive and high in encouragement,promotes more different creative thinking compared tosilence.It is shown that the changes involved in the happy music situation may improve flexibilityin thinking.As a result,additional solutions might be considered by the participants,which maynot have occurred to them readily if they were performing the task in silence.This study shows that creative ability may be improved through happy music,and furtherresearch could explore how different sounds affect creativity and it includes participants ofdifferent cultures,age groups and levels of music experience.The researchers say their study isuseful,showing that listening to happy music could promote creative thinking in inexpensive andefficient ways in various scientific,educational and organizational settings.28.How did the

in many fields.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Different Music Benefits Educated People DifferentlyB.Enjoying Music May Make You Feel RelaxedC.Music Is the Cheapest Way to Improve YourselfD.Listening to Happy Music May Improve CreativityDOur“Mommy and Me”time began two years ago.My next-door neighbor and fellow mother,Christie,and I were out in our front yards,watching seven children of age 6 and under ride thebikes up and down.“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,”said Christie.Then we worked out a plan:When Christie takes one of her children out,Ill watch

ineach of my children.For example,I am always surprised when my daughter,who is seldom closeto me,holds my hand frequently.My stuttering(口吃的)son,Tom,doesnt stutter once during ouractivities since he doesnt have to struggle for a chance to speak.And another son,Sam,whosalways a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The“Mommy and Me”time allows us to be
