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 as 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 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.
16. According to this passage, what do some psychologists maintain about thinking?
17. Why do people move their body while listening to music that is familiar?
18. What is the talk mainly about?

选项 A、An Ear for Music.
B、Music Appreciation.
C、Muscle Participation in Mental Acts.
D、A Definition of the Thinking Process.

答案C

解析 预读选项可知,这是一道主旨大意题。标题应该概括最主要的信息,可利用主题句中的核心词和全文高频实义词做出选择或缩小选择范围。本文的高频词有:thinking,muscles,brain,body,等。本文主要讲的是肌肉参与思维过程,而不是在给思维下定义,故选C而非D。A、B均与music有关,它们只是用来证明主题的具体例子,不能概括全文。
