问题     Are smart people just naturally attracted to study art or perform music, dance, or drama? Or does early education in the art actually cause changes in the brain that develop important components of cognition? Recent findings show that there may be some significant causal relationships between arts training and the brain’s ability to learn.
    The Dana Foundation, an organization with interest in neuroscience, immunology, and arts education, just released a three-year study that found that early training in the arts is possibly good for your brain. Neuroscientists and psychologists at several universities have now enhanced understanding of just how the arts might improve thinking, memory, and language skills. Music education is linked with the ability to control both short-term and long-term memory, geometric representation, and development of reading skills. Dance training improves thinking though mimicry and acting classes seem to expand language. Visual arts lessons outside the classroom in childhood are linked to improved math calculations. In retrospect, I wish I had more art lessons before I took on that advanced math class in high school.
    It’s not a new idea that the arts can make us smarter. The notion caught fire in the 1990s when researchers showed that college students did better on certain math tests’ after listening to a little bit of Mozart. And while the current report from the Dana Foundation did not provide definite theories as to how arts make us smart, what it does is to end the popular notion that people are either right-or left-brain learners. Apparently artists are not that fundamentally different and perhaps there is even an underlying connection between the cognitive processes that give rise to both arts to both arts and sciences.
Form music education to dance training to visual arts lessons, the researchers found the______.
选项 A、early training in the arts improved cognitive skills
B、early education in the arts enhanced the learning by heart
C、art training was widely conducted during childhood
D、the artistic education took many forms for children
答案A
解析 题干：从音乐教育到舞蹈培训，再到视觉艺术课程，研究者发现——。第二段提到了题干中这些课程及训练名称，并指出“have now enhanced understanding of just how the arts might improve thinking，memory，and language skills”(提高了对艺术如何提高思维、记忆及语言技能的理解)。因此可知，本题A是正确答案(早期的艺术培训能改善认知技能)。
