Why do I look for dragonflies? The answer is simple. I love them! They can speed by. They can make sharp turns

and sudden stops. They can even fly backward.

Best of all, dragonflies are beautiful. They come in many colors and patterns. Who doesn’t like looking at these amazing insects? Super Sizes

Dragonflies come in many sizes. The smallest one is the size of your thumbnail. The largest one would cover your face. I recently looked for the heaviest dragonfly in the world—the giant petaltail. It lives in Australia. Built to Hunt

Dragonflies are built to hunt. They have two compound(复合的) eyes. Each eye is made of 30,000 smaller eyes. All those eyes help a dragonfly see everything. A dragonfly can spot a tasty meal from up to 18 feet away.

Dragonflies have six legs. The insect cannot walk on its legs, however. It uses its four wings to get around. It can fly up to thirty miles per hour, looking for food. From Water to Air

A dragonfly begins its life underwater. It hatches (孵化)from an egg and becomes a larva. A A larva lives in a lake or stream. It can grow for several years. Then it crawls out of the water. An adult dragonfly doesn’t have much flying time. Some adults live for only a few weeks. larva is a young dragonfly. It can swim, but it cannot fly. It sheds(脱落) its hard skin and becomes an adult.

Others are around for several months. During that time, a dragonfly is very busy. It flies. It hunts. It eats. If the dragonfly is female, it also lays eggs. Soon there will be more young dragonflies. Dragonflies in Dangerw ww. xkb1 .com

Let’s say you took violin lessons all through primary school, but you haven’t got the

instrument out of its case in years. Were all those lessons a waste of your parents’ money because you didn’t become a great violinist?

Not at all. Even though it has been a long time since you played the violin, a new study shows that as little as one year of music training can have a positive influence on your brain that will last the rest of your life.

In an experiment comparing children who had taken music lessons to those who hadn’t. Laurel Trainor, a researcher of the Institute for Music and the Mind at Ontario’s McMaster University, discovered that the musically-trained kids had larger brain responses to the sound recognition exams. Trainor’s findings show the possibility that musical education can actually improve the brain’s hearing cortex (大脑皮层). “The study’s results show that music training affects attention and memory, and helps children develop learning skills. In this way music training might lead to better learning across a number of fields,” Trainor said in a statement. The effects of music education are even more obvious on children with difficulty in reading and writing and other language-related disabilities. 新 课标 第一 网

The study’s results point out that “musical training (but not necessarily passive（被动） listening to music) influences attention and memory, which makes a possibility that musical training might lead to better learning across a number of fields,” Trainor said in a report. The effects of music training are even more easily seen in children with difficulties on language. “A music training that can strengthen the hearing skills of children who have difficulty in reading may also help improve some of their language abilities,” said Gottfried Schlaug, who has also studied music training and learning.

So, whether or not you can play a Tchaikovsky symphony part, it’s likely that your years of music lessons prepared your brain for all the speeches, emails, and conversations that are part of your life today. To help make sure that kids today have the same chances for music-inspired （激发）brain development, help out by volunteering with or giving away instruments to your school’s music training department.

56. The underlined word “strengthen” means . A. make stronger

B. exchange something
