【正文】 sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. ”可知, 音盲指的是那種天生就沒有識別或復(fù)制音符能力的人。BStrangely enough, music is no fun at all for some people. About four percent of the population are what scientists call “amusic”, People who are amusic were born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. As a result, songs sound like noise to amusics. Many amusics pare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be unfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties, ” says Margaret, a seventyyear old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is plex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists pare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is final diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, No, thanks, I am amusic, ”said Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy. ” 【文章大意】文章主要講述對音盲的定義以及科學(xué)家是如何識別這種情況, 并說明了音盲人群的特點(diǎn)。23.
