They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldis “ The Four Seasons ” did much better on language ability tests than without music.“ Facts suggest that exercise improve the learning ability of people with heart disease, ” said the 5scientist Charles Emery, who led the study. “ And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together. ” he added.The volunteers said they felt better emotionally(情绪的) and physically after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have shown it is true that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps cut down stress, sadness and nervousness; makes relaxation or sleep more likely happen; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation. “ The Four Seasons” was used because of its soft tempo(节拍) and positive(积极的) results in earlier research. “ Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability, ” Emery said.Scientists have been studying the result of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 1990, scientists were using Mozarts music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting and has clear structures(结构). A study showed students who listened to Mozart went to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.1.
