Music is universal—it 1. (produce) by all cultures. Some scientists believe that music came before speech. In fact, there is one theory that the 2 (early)languages were chanted or sung rather than spoken.
Indeed, in some cultures, music is a form of 3. (record) history. The Aboriginal Australians, for example, use music as 4. means to pass on stories of the land and spirits to the next generation. New evidence suggests that music does not just satisfy the feel-good factor but it 5. (be) also good for the brain. A study of 6. (mental) disabled children showed that they could recall more information after it was given to them in a song than after it was read to them 7. a story.
Researchers also report that people score better on a standard 8. (intelligent) test after listening to Mozart. The so called “Mozart effect” has also been supported by findings that rats 9. (bring) up on Mozart run faster through a complex network of paths or passages known as a maze(迷). Overall, it seems that in most instances people l0. from any form of mental illness can benefit from listening to music.
