Sending your children to piano or violin lessons in a bid (努力) to boost their academic achievement is a waste of money, according to scientists. Although research has shown that youngsters who take music lessons are more likely to be【C1】________of their class, psychologist Glenn Schellenberg claims this link is【C2】________.
Instead, improved academic performance may be because brighter children from privileged【C3】________are more likely to learn an instrument, rather than music classes helping to boost their【C4】________.
"Music may【C5】________you a bit, but it’s also the case that different children take music lessons," said Professor Schellenberg of the University of Toronto, who added that parents’ education was the most influential【C6】________on musicality. "Children who take music lessons come from families with higher incomes, they come from families with more【C7】________parents, they also do more extracurricular activities, they have higher IQs, and they do better at school."
In tests on 167 children who played the piano or other instruments, they found their answer to personality tests could【C8】________how likely it was for them to continue their music lessons. Those who were more outgoing and conscientious were more likely to continue to play.
"We were【C9】________by the fact that kids who take music lessons are particularly good students. In school they actually do better than you would predict from their IQ, so【C10】________something else is going on," Professor Schellenberg told the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual conference in Boston. "So we thought that personality might be the personality. "
A) backgrounds F) emotional K) motivated
B) change G) factor L) obviously
C) decrease H) fortunately M) predict
D) displayed I) intelligence N) status
E) educated J) misleading O) top [br] 【C4】

解析
名词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格前为形容词性物主代词their,空格处应为名词。由句意可知,学习成绩的提高可能是因为家庭背景优越、较为聪慧的孩子更可能去学习一种乐器,而非学音乐有助于提高他们的________。空格处含义和学习成绩相关。结合选项可知,intelligence“智力,理解力”符合题意,故为答案。
