A new study has shwn that playing an instrument r singing in a chir may prmte yur brain. It explains why generatins f parents have tld their children t practice their musical instruments. Parents have gd reasns t lay emphasis n their children’s musical educatin since learning an instrument is nt nly assciated with cgnitive (认知的) perfrmance but als intelligence scres in children. But des this musicality translate t better cgnitin later in life?
A recent study in the Internatinal Jurnal f Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this questin by asking middle-aged and lder peple t cmplete a questinnaire n their lifetime musical experience befre cmpleting cgnitive thinking tests. The results shwed that musical peple had better memry and executive functin — the ability t stay fcused n tasks, make a plan, and have self-cntrl — than thse with less r n musicality.
A gd memry is imprtant fr playing a musical instrument, such as playing music frm memry, and this seems t translate t peple’s cgnitive perfrmance. Similarly, executive functin is required when playing an instrument, and it translates t imprved cgnitive perfrmance t.
Althugh mst peple in the study played an instrument fr nly a few years, this finding was similar, regardless f which instrument peple played, r the level f musical prficiency (熟练) peple acquired.
What makes a difference, hwever, is whether peple still play an instrument r nly played in the past. Thse wh still play an instrument shw higher cgnitive perfrmance. This makes sense as cntinued engagement in cgnitively stimulating activities shuld result in cntinued brain health benefits while having played the guitar fr three years at primary schl might nt have such a big impact n ur cgnitive perfrmance later in life.

A．By stimulating the nerve cells.
B．By develping great musicality.
C．By bettering ne’s learning ability.
D．By imprving ne’s cncentratin.
10．What influences cgnitive perfrmance accrding t the study?
A．Different instruments peple play.
B．Practicing cntinuity peple keep.
C．Musical prficiency peple acquire.
D．Live perfrmances peple engage in.
11．What message des the authr seem t cnvey in the text?
A．Musicality leads t success.
B．Music affects children’s grwth.
C．Playing instruments bsts cgnitin.
D．Instrument players have healthier brains.

Dear Jhn,
I am writing t share sme feedback and suggestins regarding the cafeteria.
Firstly, we have nticed that the quality f sme dishes varies. Additinally, the waiting time during lunchtime can be quite lng, which makes it difficult fr us t manage ur time efficiently.
In rder t imprve the services, we suggest that yu cnduct regular surveys n students’ fd preferences, mnitr the quality f fd, and ensure that it meets the different demands f students. Furthermre, it wuld be helpful if yu culd implement a system t reduce waiting time, such as by staggering (错开) lunch breaks r intrducing mre efficient rdering methds.
We appreciate yur cmmitment t prviding quality services and hpe yu will cnsider these suggestins seriusly.
