9、 that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when workin

10、g is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all. How sound affects performance has been the topic

11、of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw

12、 them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical

13、variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same timeone from the task and one from the

14、sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical musi

15、c. In this situation, the two sources of wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on

16、 the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels. 1. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.A. explain how music can relax people B. show music can improve performanceC. advise people to listen to Mozart music D. stress Mozart music gains wi

17、de attention 2.

Paragraph 6 is written to _.A. support an idea B. make

18、a contrastC. introduce a topic D. describe a fact4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Music shapes your lifeB. Music develops your creativityC. Choose quiet music for your workD. Does music make you concentrate?3、 From Nikes “swoosh” symbol to Starbucks- twin-tailed mermaid (美人鱼), the worlds

19、 largest companies take great care of their logos. For most people the logos of such firms immediately conned our minds to the business in question, without the need to see its name. Think of the golden arches of a popular fast-food chain, or the apple with a bite taken out of it representing a cert

20、ain computer company. This type of instant recognition is the holy grail(圣杯) for a business, which is why the worlds multinational companies can spend millions on their logos like UK oil group BP, which back in 2000 spent 136 million introducing its current sunflower design. Other firms of a similar

21、 size, whose logo is simply their name written out in a stylized way, can spend hundreds of thousands on a new font (字体),or a different color. But how easy is it for a business to pick a good logo, and how important is it at the end of the day? If you are presented with a design for your company log

22、o that is immediately likeable and sympathizes with your values, you might be wise to take a long hard look at it, bin it, and start again. “This is the clearest choice that has been putbefore the British people for a generation, Miliband said , between a Tory government that works only for the priv

23、ileged few or a Labor government that will put working families first. Sagi Haviv says that many of the worlds most successful logos were not liked on first viewing. Thats the opinion oi Sagi Haviv, partner at New York graphic design firm Chemrayeff & Geismer & Haviv ( CGH). Its never love at first

CGH has been responsible for some of the most recognizable US business logos of the past 50 years, such as Chase Bank, National Geographic, Mobile, NBC and HarperCollins.1.What do we know about the logo for a company?

These stori

28、es comefrom a report by UK charity The Children Society, based on an ongoing survey of 11,000 children aged 14. Among the girls, 22 per cent said they had self-harmed while boys 9 per cent.But while the term self-harm improves images of teenagers cutting themselves, that may,thankfully, be only the

29、most extreme end of a broader range. In this survey, participants weremerely asked if they had “hurt themselves on purpose in any way”.Some could have answered yes for things like punching (击拳）a wall in dissatisfaction or deliberately getting falling-down drunk. Others could have thought the questio

30、n included mental hurt. Such self-destructive behaviour would naturally be of concern to parents, but wouldn5t be that unusual for teenagers. Max Davie, a health promotion officer, does believe that self-harm among teens is somewhat on the risebut thinks the question in this survey was not specific

31、enough to reveal its real universality.The latest headlines join an ongoing account about a mental health crisis in todays youth. Some blame cutbacks in social services, while others point to a loosening of sexual standards putting teens at risk. For those cautious of new technologies, it is social

32、media or the latest popular computer games.But such reports also deserve some skepticism. Claims of high rates of depression are usually based on surveys with very loose, non-medical criteria. Thankfully, clinical depression is still rare in this age group.In fact, a different and regularly repeated survey has found no change in 11-to-15-year-olds happiness with life as a whole between 1995 and 2016. Nor did their satisfaction
