问题     Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
    You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
    Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.
    The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.
The best title for this selection is______.
选项 A、An Ear for Music
B、Music Appreciation
C、How Muscles Participate in Mental Acts
D、A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process
答案C
解析 短文先指出思维中可能有类似听音乐时肌肉参与的情形；接着描述了听音乐过程中肌肉参与的情况；最后指出，肌肉在思维活动中的参与只不过没那么明显罢了。可见，全文主要讨论的是肌肉在思维活动中的参与，既不是专门讲思维，更不是专门说音乐。故C选项做标题合适。
