四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】 It can be argued that music is a core function in our brains. Our brains are wired from the beginning to process and understand music. Yet music has always been sort of a mystery, especially since it’s not typically considered “necessary” for survival. That is reserved for the trifecta of food, sex, and sleep. A study came out this month that adds another important piece of information as we continue to figure out how our brain processes music. When we satisfy our desire to eat, sleep, or reproduce, our brain releases dopamine — the “feel-good” neurochemical involved when we experience pleasure and reward. It turns out this same chemical is released when listening to music. A study was conducted by researchers at McGill University in Canada. The researchers used a combination of PET (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imagining) techniques to scan the brains of the eight participants as they listened to music over the course of three sessions. In addition, the participants completed a questionnaire in which they rated how pleasurable they found the music. It turns out that when we anticipate and then actually experience a pleasurable response while listening to music, our brain reacts in distinct and specific ways to release the “feel-good” chemical dopamine. From an academic standpoint, this is a fascinating study. According to the researchers, this may be the first study to show that an abstract reward, such as listening to music, releases dopamine. We’ve traditionally considered abstract rewards to be processed on a more cognitive level, but this study shows that our ancient reward circuits can be involved. Additionally, it points to a shared neural network involving tangible and abstract rewards. We already know that skills such as speech production use shared neural networks to those used to sing. This study shows the shared neural circuitry involving how our reward circuits process both tangible and abstract rewards. From a practical standpoint, this will not affect your average day-to-day listening. Just know that when you experience an emotion while listening to music, your ancient reward circuits are flooding your brain with a chemical designed to make you feel good.

“勞謙君子，有終吉” 研一下 (2019/08/17)

    可以說，音樂是我們大腦的核心功能。 我們的大腦從一開始就處理連接並理解音樂。 然而，音樂一直是個謎，特別是因為它通常不被視為生存的“必要”。 這是為食物，性和睡眠三重保留的。

    本月發布的一項研究增加了另一項重要信息，因為我們將繼續弄清楚我們的大腦是如何處理音樂的。 當我們滿足我們進食，睡眠或繁殖的願望時，我們的大腦會釋放多巴胺 - 當我們體驗到快樂和獎勵時，它會感受到“感覺良好”的神經化學物質。 事實證明，這種化學物質在聽音樂時會釋放出來。

    加拿大麥吉爾大學的研究人員進行了一項研究。 研究人員使用PET（正電子發射斷層掃描）和fMRI（功能磁共振成像）技術的組合掃描八位參與者的大腦，因為他們...
