七、阅读理解
You might like to listen to music while studying. What kind of music is your favorite? An experiment done with
British workers found that listening to classical music at work can improve one’s efficiency (效率) by 15%. A
study of 2,000 British workers found that half of them often listen to music on the job. Some of their bosses
encourage them to do so, while others are against it, believing it hurts their work.
British scientist Becky Spelman did an experiment to find out if background music hurts or improvesefficiency. In the study, four office workers were asked to copy two 600-word sets of passages. The group worked
on the first set with no music playing and worked on the second set with classical music playing in the
background. It took them 20 minutes and 59 seconds to finish the first set. The time for the second set was 17
minutes and 42 seconds.
Classical music can work as a kind of white noise, according to Spelman. “White noise is a mixture of sounds
with different frequencies (频率). It can help people stay cool and calm. In fact, as long as the music has a calm
beat, it can help us slow our heartbeat and stay calm. This makes it easier for us to work quickly and carefully,”
Spelman said.
