21、Exciting concertos (协奏曲) from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons can boost mental alertness, according to research from Northumbria University.

The findings, which are published in Experimental Psychology, show that the exciting first movement, in particular, is capable of enhancing attention and memory.

In the experiment a group of 14 young adults were given a mental concentration task to perform. They were asked to press the space bar on a keyboard when a green square appeared on screen and ignore different colored circles and squares that appeared at intervals. The participants carried out this task both in silence and while listening to each of the four concertos while their brain activity was measured using EEG brain imaging.

Results showed that participants responded correctly faster when listening to the exciting Spring concerto. When listening to the concerto, the average response time in performing the task was 393.8 millisecond as opposed to 408.1 milliseconds when the task was carried out in silence. This response time rose to 413.3 milliseconds when they listened to the slower and sadder Autumn music, therefore showing a decrease in mental capacity.

Psychologist Dr. Leigh Riby said, “The Spring movement enhanced overall activity within the brain but had an exaggerated effect on the area of the brain that’s important for emotional processing. It seemed to give rise to particular imagery in the brain and evoke positive, contented feelings which translated into higher levels of cognitive functioning.”

Dr. Riby suggests that the Spring movement is particularly special and could be used in therapy and is, in fact, quite a familiar piece to most people as it has been used successfully in marketing to induce mood and influence behavior.

He also found that the key in which the music was written had no impact on brain performance. While the Spring concerto, which is written in a major key enhanced cognitive function, the Autumn movement, which is also written in a major key, did not.

He added, “This experiment shows that cognitive capacity is enhanced when pleasant and arousing stimuli are introduced.”

22、   One of America’s best-known artist colonies, the MacDowell Colony, will turn 110 next year. It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions(分神之事) and just create.

MacDowell’s operations are funded by foundations, corporations and individuals. Writers, composers, photographers, filmmakers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place. Once accepted, an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks, or as long as a couple of months.

When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝)hard to find in our world. There’s no phone. No fax. No friends. No family. It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods.

Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City. She came to MacDowell to work on a novel. She received a desk, chairs, pencils and paper—and ice grippers. The walk from one isolated, one-room studio to another is icy, so colony residents fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.

Another colony resident, Belfast composer Elaine Agnew, play a piece called “To a Wild Rose, ” written by Edward MacDowell. She says it’s so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife, Marion, encouraged other artists to come.

And for the last century, artists have accepted the invitation, coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time. Privacy is respected, but cooperation and discussion is common.

Screenwriter Kit Carson—who wrote TexasChainsawMassacreⅡ and the film adaption of Sam Shepherd’s play Paris, Texas—has visited MacDowell twice. He says that the interdisciplinary(学科间的) discussion there is valuable.

“You sit around at dinner, talking, and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you. ”He says. “That, I didn’t realize, was part of the magic here, because people are really open to showing their opinions here. ”

【1】Who sponsored MacDowell’s operations?

A．Artists of all types.

B．The government and individuals.

C．Foundations, corporations and individuals.

D．Writers, composers, filmmakers and sculptors.

【2】What can we learn about colony residents?

A．They find it hard to survive the loneliness.

B．They usually stay in the colony for months.

C．They are already famous in their own field.

D．They are nearly cut off from the outside world.

【3】Why is Elaine Agnew mentioned in the text?

A．To show respect for MacDowell.

B．To admire her great musical talent.

C．To introduce the origin of the colony.

D．To tell us the wide range of the residents.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Artists and Their Dream

B．Wonderland for Artists

C．Creativity at Work

D．Power of Silence
