24、lars less than computer (5) （分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：99,000）解析：解析 1-5Today Im answering a question from Orlando Carvajal, who wants to become a Spanish professor. He asked how much professors could earn in the United States. The average wage for full professors last year was 99,000 dollars. For associ
25、ate professors it was 70,000 dollars, and for assistant professors 59,000 dollars. Private, independent schools pay more than public colleges and universities.A report also shows that new assistant professors in foreign languages earned 48,000 dollars last year, a little more than the national avera
26、ge for education jobs. But averages do not tell the whole story. Take Sally Hadden for example. She is an associate professor of history and law at Florida State University. She finds that language professors generally earn less than those in subjects like engineering. But these days, professors of
27、some languages, including Arabic, can earn much more than Spanish professors. Also, colleges in different areas of the country pay different wages.But how do professors compare with people in other jobs?Assistant professors earned about the same last year as workers in business and financial operati
28、ons, but about 10,000 dollars less than computer programmers. The highest paying jobs in the United States are in management, with an average wage last year of 92,000 dollars.

37、r the tones required to speak and understand it. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with music training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscienc
38、e, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on parts of the brain that help people detect changes in pitch.One of the studys authors, Nina Kraus, said that the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system. This means that schools that want child
39、ren to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs,“ Dr. Kraus said. She said that music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This
40、is most probably because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical training and half who had stu
41、died an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audiotape of the Mandarin word “mi“ in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activity in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those wi
42、th music training showed much more brain activity in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said that it might work both ways. “It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments,“ Dr. Wong said.(2).Researchers have foun
