Are you intelligent？

 

你够聪明吗？

 

An intelligent person's opinions arebased on facts and not beliefs.

 

聪明人的想法以事实而非信仰为基础。

 

This has more to do with their skepticism. Unless and until they are presented with hard facts, they do not take things on face value.

 

这一点和他们的怀疑主义有关，除非他们见到了有力的事实依据，否则聪明人不会太当真。

 

学习音乐的孩子可能比同龄人更聪明。

 

Kids who take music lessons are morelikely to be intelligent than ones who do not.

 

As a report suggests, "There is growing evidence¹ that musicians have structurally² and functionally³ different brains compared with non-musicians. In particular, the areas of the brain usedto process music are larger or more active in musicians. Even just starting tolearn a musical instrument can change the neurophysiology of the brain. Thebrain regions⁴ involved in music processing are also required for other tasks,such as memory or language skills."

 

一份报告指出，越来越多的证据表明音乐家的大脑结构和功能都异于常人，特别是他们大脑中处理音乐的区域面积更大也更活跃。即便是初学一种乐器，也会改变大脑的神经生理功能，而大脑中处理音乐的部位也会在其它任务中发挥作用，如记忆或语言能力。
