　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
　　A
　　“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything,”the ancient Greek philosopher Plato said.
　　This is one of Don Spencer’s favorite mottos that he firmly believes. “We know that music brings joy and comfort, and mas feel happy,”Spencer says, “But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills.”
　　The power of music
　　Much research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word.
　　Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and math’s levels.
　　Not in the curriculum
　　Research from Australia shows it’s not that smart kids play music; it’s that music makes kids smarter. It supports Spencer’s call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and Math.
