"Music may【C5】______you a bit, but it’s also the case that different children take music lessons," said Professor Schellenberg of the University of Toronto, who added that parents’ education was the most influential【C6】______on musicality. "Children who take music lessons come from families with higher incomes, they come from families with more【C7】______parents, they also do more extracurricular activities, they have higher IQs, and they do better at school."
In tests on 167 children who played the piano or other instruments, they found their answer to personality tests could【C8】______how likely it was for them to continue their music lessons. Those who were more outgoing and conscientious were more likely to continue to play.
"We were【C9】______by the fact that kids who take music lessons are particularly good students. In school they actually do better than you would predict from their IQ, so【C10】______something else is going on," Professor Schellenberg told the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS)annual conference in Boston. "So we thought that personality might be the personality. "
A)backgrounds F)emotional K)motivated
B)change G)factor L)obviously
C)decrease H)fortunately M)predict

答案
O
解析
形容词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格前为be动词,空格处应为形容词作表语,且与介词of构成搭配。本段第一句提到送孩子去上音乐课以试图提高他们的学习成绩是浪费金钱的行为,空格所在的让步状语从句指出,尽管有研究表明,学音乐的孩子更可能在班上——。结合选项可知,top"最佳的,最好的"符合句意,故为答案。
