Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state. 1.
Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level.2.For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable.
3.Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy and often require more external stimulation (刺激) and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.
Actually, it's not about the genre (类型) of music, but the natural musical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo (拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70-110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest.4.And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes.
In addition, lyrics (歌词) are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening.
5.More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener.
A.Music is part of every culture in the world.
B.In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves.
C.Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication.
D.They compete with the same brain regions that process language.
E.Fast music raises the heartbeat , making one unable to focus on study.
F. Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.
G.There are a few factors that determine the effects of music on studying.
COPENHAGEN -Greenland on Friday dismissed the idea that it might be up for sale after reports that US President Donald Trump had privately discussed with his advisers the idea of buying the world's biggest island. "We are open for business, but we're not for sale, Greenland's foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger told Reuters.
Trump is due to visit Copenhagen in September and the Arctic will be on the agenda (议程) during meetings with the prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland.
Talk of a Greenland purchase was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters that the idea had been laughed off by some advisers as a joke but was taken more seriously by others in the White House. Danish politicians on Friday poured scorn on the idea. "It has to be an April Fool's joke. Totally out of season," former prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Twitter.
Greenland, a self-ruling part of Denmark located between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, is dependent on Danish economic support. It handles its own domestic affairs while Copenhagen looks after defense and foreign policy.
"I am sure a majority in Greenland believes it is better to have a relation to Denmark than the United States, in the long term," Aaja Chemnitz Larsen, Danish MP (国会议员) from Greenland’s second-largest party Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) , told Reuters. “My immediate thought is ' No, thank you'," she said.
Greenland is gaining attention from global super powers including China, Russia and the United States due to its strategic location and its mineral resources.
Martin Lidegaard, senior lawmaker of the Danish Social Liberal Party and a former foreign minister, called the idea "a grotesque (怪诞的) proposal" which had no basis in reality. “We are talking about real people and you can't just sell Greenland like an old colonial power," he told Reuters. "But what we can take seriously is that the US stakes (利害关系) and interest in the Arctic is significantly on the rise and they want a much bigger influence," he added.
1.Which of the following is TRUE about Greenland?
A.It is short of natural resources.
B.It is an autonomous Danish territory.
C.It is dependant on American economic support.
D.It possesses its own defense and foreign policy.
2.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word "scorn" in Para. 3?
A.Words that show approval of or admiration for something.
B.A situation in which it is very difficult to decide what to do.
C.The feeling that something is stupid or does not deserve respect.
D.The quality making someone continue doing sth. even when this is difficult.
3.What does Martin Lidegaard mainly want to express in the last paragraph?
A.The profit of selling Greenland to America.
B.The difficulty in selling Greenland to America.
C.The proper process of the Greenland purchase.
D.The real motivation of the Greenland purchase.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?
A.Greenland tells Trump it is not for sale
B.Trump favours the idea of buying Greenland
C.Greenland is gaining attention from global super powers
D.Trump to meet prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland
