Did your parents make you take music lessons? Recent research has     that people who studied music as a child are able to remember words much better than people     musical training. One experiment was   with sixty female American college students. A similar study was carried out with ninety boys in Hongkong of China. In both cases, students had to  words and pictures.    they were asked how many they remembered. Scientists found that students    studied music were better at remembering words, but both groups remembered the pictures equally well. Perhaps it is   to use your imagination to associate(联想) pictures with things in your life. Also, you can make up stories for pictures.
Scientists explain the     by saying that both musical memory and verbal (written or spoken words) memory are located in the left side of the brain. Visual memory, the kind needed for pictures, is located in     half of the brain. Since verbal memory is very important for success at school, researchers now think that taking music lessons can give you a real academic advantage. In fact, when the students were tested a year    , the students who had stopped taking lessons still did well on verbal memory. Maybe it’s time to give music lessons a try.
