问题     Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain, according to a US review. It also finds that music training can lead to improved speech and foreign language skills.
    Although it has been suggested that in the past that listening to Mozart or other classical music could make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music improves brain power. But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has explored the research about the effect of musical training on the learning skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion.
    Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural connections made during musical training also strengthened the brain for other aspects of human communication. The researchers said that in their study the effect of music training suggests that, just like the physical exercise and its impact on body fitness, music is a resource that strengthens the brain for listening fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in shaping individual development.
    The study, published n Nature Reviews Neuroscience, looked at the rapid increase of research in recent years focused on the effects of music training on the nervous system which could have strong effects on education. The study found that playing an instrument strengthens the brain to choose what is relevant in a complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score, timing issues and working with other musicians.
    Kraus said in a statement that a musician’s brain selectively tells apart the information-bearing elements in sound and in a beautiful interrelationship between sensory(感觉的)and cognitive(认知的)processes, the nervous system makes associations between complex sounds and what they mean. The study reviewed the past research and found, for example, that musicians are more successful than non-musicians in learning to incorporate(合并)sound patterns for a new language into words.
We can learn from the passage that in the past people thought______.
选项 A、listening to music could change their minds
B、they should listen to classical music
C、listening to music could improve their brain power
D、there was a connection between music and intelligence
答案C
解析 由题干中的in the past定位到第二段第一句。该句提到，尽管过去有人认为听莫扎特的音乐或其他古典音乐可以让人变得更聪明，但是并没有足够的证据证明音乐能提高智力。C)与原文表述一致，因此为正确答案。
