二、学习策略

1. 构词知识

①well-being是合成词，由well和being构成，在此意为“幸福感”。

②disorder是派生词，由前缀dis-和order构成，dis-表示“不，消失掉”。disorder在此意为“（身心、机能的）失调、紊乱、不适”。

③overexciting是派生词，由前缀over-和exciting构成，over-表示“过度”。overexciting在此意为“过度兴奋”。

2. 长难句分析

①A team of scientists from Ohio State University did tests on 33 volunteers and found that people who exercised while listening to music did much better on language ability tests than without music.  俄亥俄州立大学的一个科研团队对33名志愿者进行试验后发现在运动时听音乐的人在语言能力测试中表现更佳。

结构分析：本句主干为A team of scientists ... did tests ... and found ...。that people who exercised while listening to music did much better on language ability tests than without music是宾语从句；宾语从句中又包含一个由who引导的定语从句；while listening to music是“连词+动词-ing形式”结构作状语，其中省略了主语和助动词。

②Researches have shown it is true that music can be good for health,education and well-being. 研究表明：音乐确实对人们的健康、教育和幸福感的提升有益。

结构分析：it is true that music can be good for health, education and well-being是宾语从句，it在该句中是形式主语，真正的主语是music can be good for health, education and well-being。
