15、CHundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win. One night, the leader of the Scots ma
16、rched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men.” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die.” They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and
17、 one by one, they fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟).
18、He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland. The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it.
19、 But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.8Hundreds of years ago, the Romans _.Acame from the north through England to make war on ScotlandBcame to the north Scotland from England to make war on ScotlandCcame from the north of England to fight the ScotsDcam

22、n the battle against the RomansDIn all the worlds cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts find that because of the way our brains process
23、 music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits. Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked childrens IQ scores for nine
24、months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial (空间的) reasoning skil
25、ls, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions (分数). Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex(脑前额叶外皮), connects music
26、 with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale(杏仁核) and hippocampus(海马体). Thats why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimers, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to m
27、emories. With the evidence of musics benefits, its no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.12According to the Canadian study, which children increased IQ scores?
28、AThose who already had high IQ scores.BThose who had always played music.CThose who could not play any instrument. DThose who studied music for a period of time. 13Which of the following is a kind of disease?ASpatial reasoning.BAlzheimers.CThe amygdale and hippocampus.DThe medial prefrontal cortex.
