1. Read the text about the effect of music on brain development.

Match the sentences a-g to the gaps 1-6. There is one extra sentence.


One of the most persistent mistaken beliefs about brain development is that playing classical music to babies increases their intelligence. Despite the lack of evidence to support it, the theory has become widespread, probably because it seems to provide parents with an easy way to assist their children's intellectual development. 1______________. So what are the origins of this idea and is there any truth in it?

варіанти відповідей

a

A few journalists noticed this interesting science story but it wasn't widely reported in the media.

b

So the story became familiar to people in dozens of countries.

c

It hardly matters that such a failure calls into question the reliability of the original results with the college students.

d

In this second study, the results were even more impressive.

e

Down in Florida, state-funded day care centres for children were

obliged to play classical music every day.

f

Children who learn to play a musical instrument have better spatial reasoning skills than those who don't take music lessons,maybe because music and spatial reasoning are processed by similar brain systems.

g

For obvious reasons, sellers of classical music for children also encouraged the belief every chance they got.

Запитання 20

Запитання 22

In the US, the state government of Georgia sent classical music €Ds to all parents of newborns in the state. 4_____________. Interestingly, what all these authorities failed to notice was a basic fault in logic. How could they claim that listening to
