问题     A 1993 study showing that students who did reasoning tests while listening to the 1781 Sonata for Two Pianos in D by Mozart tended to outperform those who did so in a silent room launched a widespread belief in what is commonly referred to【B1】______"the Mozart effect."

Yet【B8】______the broad embrace of the theory, critics have【B9】______wondered if it has any actual merit As the AFP reports, the "Mozart effect" is【B10】______number six in the 2009 book 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology.
    And a new inquiry from researchers in Vienna【B11】______with the skeptics: in a【B12】______of 40 studies including some 3,000 people, psychologists at Vienna University found no evidence that listening to Mozart【B13】______makes people smarter. They did find that people who listened to music while completing reasoning tests performed better than those who took the tests in【B14】______—but that was true【B15】______they were listening to Mozart, Bach or Pearl Jam, the AFP reports,【B16】______the notion that it’s external stimulus that【B17】______to improved performance, not Mozart.
    Of course, researchers still encouraged people to listen to Mozart—if for nothing more than pure【B18】______. As investigator Jakob Pietschnig told the AFP: "I【B19】______everyone listen to Mozart, but it’s not going to【B20】______cognitive abilities as some people hope."
