9、sical comedies. He worked with each song until he was satisfied that the music was perfect. American musical plays at that time were still usually copied from European ones. Kern wanted to try something completely new. He thought a musical play should be a real work of art, not just a collection of

10、songs and dances. He thought songs should help move the action of the play along, by showing a persons feelings. Kern wanted to do a truly American musical, with real American characters and real situations. In 1927, he found the story he wanted. It was the book Show Boat by American writer Edna Fer

11、ber. Show Boat takes place in the 1880s on a passenger steam boat that travels along the Mississippi River. The boat is called a show boat because singers and dancers entertain the passengers.

16、ativity is an important quality in our complex and fast-changing world, as it allows us to create new solutions for a wide range of problems and come up with fresh ideas. The question of what promotes creative ability has long been studied, and while music has previously been shown to benefit cognit

17、ion(认知), little is known about how listening to music affects creative ability specifically. To study the effect of music on creative ability, researchers had 155 participants complete questionnaires and divided them into five experimental groups. Four groups each listened to one of four different t

18、ypes of music that were classified as calm, happy, sad or anxious, depending on their different emotions (positive, negative) and excitement (high, low) , while the last group listened to silence. After the music started playing, participants performed various tasks that tested their creative thinki

19、ng. Participants who came up with the most original and useful solutions to a task scored higher in divergent(发散的) creativity, while participants who came up with the single best possible solution to a task scored higher in convergent(聚合的) creativity.

It is shown that the changes involved in the happy music situation may improve flexibility in thinking. As a result, additional solutions might be cons

21、idered by the participants, which may not have occurred to them readily if they were performing the task in silence. This study shows that creative ability may be improved through happy music, and further research could explore how different sounds affect creativity and it includes participants of d

It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to ni

26、ght without eating his meals. But at other times he spent hours before the picture, lost in contemplation, examining, comparing, and measuring his figures. This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior, the head of the church, who belonged to the large group of those who believed that the bus

27、ier a man seems, the more he achieves; and so he tried to find fault with the idle painter. Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason.

29、also needed a head of Judas, and that was hard to find as well, from where the man was whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor.
