When he was driving home one evening on a country road, he saw an old lady, stranded(拋錨的) on the side of the road. He stopped in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He looked poor and hungry. He knew how she felt. He said’ “I am here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Joe.”

She had a flat tire(輪胎). Joe crawled under the car, changed the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help they needed, and Joe added, “And think of me.”

She drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in. The waitress had a sweet smile, and was nearly eight months pregnant(懷孕) The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Joe. After the lady finished her meal, the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill. But she stepped right out the door.

When the waitress came back, she noticed something written on a napkin(餐巾), “I am helping you because someone once helped me. If you really want to pay me back, here ‘s what you do--Do not let the chain of love end with you.”

That night when she got home, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. She and her husband needed money with the baby due (預(yù)產(chǎn)期)next month. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”

Our love of music and appreciation of musical harmony (和聲) is learnt and not based on natural ability, a new study by University of Melbourne researchers has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical functions of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.

The study shows that musical harmony can be learnt, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, it’s simply because you haven’t learnt to listen by their rules.

The researchers used 66 volunteers with a range of (一系列的) musical training and tested their ability to hear combinations (組合) of notes (音符) to determine if they found the combinations familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with combinations of notes. If they couldn’t recognize the notes, they found the notes dissonant. This finding put an end to centuries of theories claiming (聲稱) that physical functions of the ear determine what we find attractive.

The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive (敏感的) to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldn’t find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培養(yǎng)) the brain to like particular sound of combinations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock.

Depending on their training, a strange chord (和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learnt.

To confirm (證實(shí)) this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random (隨機(jī)的) selection of western chords. Not only did the participants’ ability to hear notes improve rapidly; the chords they had learnt sounded more pleasant—regardless of (不論) how the chords were played.

The question of why some combinations of musical notes are heard as pleasant or unpleasant has long been debated. “ We have shown in this study that for music, beauty is in the brain of the beholder(觀看者),” a researcher said.

1.According to the passage, why do people sometimes find foreign music quite unpleasant?

A． Because they don’t like the person playing the music.

B． Because they have no talent for music at all.

C． Because they have no idea about how to listen.

D． Because they hear music too often.

2.The underlined word “dissonant” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___________.

A. informal B. unpleasant

C. inspiring D. unfamiliar

3.Although non-musicians were less sensitive to music, they can still _______.

A． find the beauty of chords without training

B． enjoy the beauty of music when played by musicians

C． be trained to like particular music

D． make friends with real musicians

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A． Improve Your Brain By Listening to Music

B． You Can Be a Musician Without Being Trained

C． Music Can’t be Taught

D． Love of Music Is Not Natural But Nurture
