listening to music

We spent the winter and some of the spring in my room—never hers—missing tests, listening to music, looking out my window to comment on people who wouldn't have given us a second thought..我们整个冬天和春天的一段时间都是在我宿舍度过的——我们从不去她的房间——逃考，听音乐，在我房间探出头去，对那些压根不会注意到我们的人品头论足。

The idea of a “Mozart effect” remains popular, but the original study has been somewhat discredited, and any intellectual boost that comes from listening to music seems to be tiny and temporary..所谓“莫扎特效应”的观念仍然很流行，但是原始的研究被发现有些不太可信，而且任何聆听音乐造成的智力提升似乎都是微小和临时性的。
