阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Simple songs play an important role in kids' life. They can change a kid's life forever. Think about it, and you may still remember some songs from when you were little. The same thing happens today. Songs can help kids learn faster and remember new things better in daily life.
Music and speaking both have rhythms. When kids sing, they can feel the rhythms. In talking, we use stops and stress on syllables or words to show feelings and important points. Songs and rhymes can help us remember different kinds of things. Music goes to many parts of the brain, and gets stored(储存) in different memory(记忆) places. When kids store memories in more places, they can remember things better.
Kids learn languages faster by singing than by listening to long talks. Singing helps kids learn new words and expressions quickly. If your kid is young, singing is a good way to teach him new words and expressions. Singing more times helps turn what they learn into long-term（长期的） memory. Small differences in spoken language can influence（影响） young kids' reading. Consonants such as "b" and "p" are hard for kids to tell apart on paper, but they can learn from songs. This can help them know the difference when reading.
Moreover, songs can improve kids' creativity. When kids listen to songs, they often imagine different pictures and stories in their minds, which helps with their creative thinking. What's more, singing songs together with friends or family can make kids more confident（自信的） and help them have better social skills. They can share happiness through music and learn how to work together with others.
