12、inese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).One of the studys authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually

13、tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)

14、 of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，hal

16、how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways.

41、The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution.“These artworks are a
