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.
What can be inferred about the author’s art lessons during childhood?
选项 A、They are proficient.
B、They are deficient.
C、They are popular
D、They are various.
答案B
解析 题干：关于作者童年时期的艺术课程我们能推理得知什么?从第二段末尾可知“I wish I had more art lessons before I took on that advanced math class in high school．”(我希望在高中开始上高等数学前多上点艺术课程)，从其中的虚拟语气可以推理得知作者童年时期的艺术课程是不够的。因此本题选B。
