6 . As is a very common phenomenon, students are listening to music while studying or doing homework. In libraries, many choose to isolate themselves from the outside wearing headphones, and the same is true of some offices. Whether or not there is isolation, however, what these people have in common is that they see music as a tool that can improve concentration and productivity in general.

But is it true? Does music really help us focus better on what we’re doing, whether it’s memorizing text, studying complex topics, or writing projects?

Scientific studies have been carried out on this subject for many decades among other things, because if music can be used to improve the performance of students or workers, this information can be very useful for organizations able to finance this type of study.

For example, the results of a study were published in 1972 and it was designed to try to better understand the relationship between listening to melodies and changes in productivity. Through a series of observations, there was an increase in the performance of workers when listening to music from loudspeakers.

However, this study was the daughter of its time, and was only used to study a very specific and representative working context of the time: that of factories. Workforce tasks were repetitive, predictable and boring, and the music acted as a stimulant of mental activity. As the work was more rewarding and enjoyable, the productivity results were also better.

Other research that took place later served to reinforce (加强) the idea that music improves the performance of routine tasks. This was good news, but what about the most complex and creative jobs — those which cannot be carried out by machines? What about studying complex academic programs, which cannot be memorized literally but need to be understood and mentally worked on?

1. How does the author find the idea that music can improve concentration?

A．Curious.

B．Opposed.

C．Supportive.

D．Doubtful.

2. What was the finding of the study in 1972 about listening to music?

A．It didn’t make any difference.	B．It improved workers’ efficiency.
C．It held back the creative workers.	D．It made workforce tasks more boring.

3. What was the shortcoming of the study in 1972?

A．The lack of researchers.	B．The short time of research.
C．The limitation of times.	D．The small number of participants.

4. What would be talked about in next paragraphs?

A．How listening to music affects creative jobs.

B．Whether listening to music helps routine tasks.

C．Why people like listening to music when working.

D．What kind of music helps people improve their performance.

10 . Everyone has their favourite Bond songs with the 007 movies offering so many different musical outings over the years from classic rock and pop to soul and even dance. Let us know in the comments.

Golden Eye — Tina Turner
Golden Eye (1995)

Golden Eye sees a cat-like Turner wandering about throughout its sound stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass (感伤的铜管乐) contribute to a powerful vocal performance. The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.

Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

This rock/pop little number has always felt rather clear to the listeners. It is a bit Bond-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself, which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.

You Know My Name — Chris Cornell
Casino Royal (2006)

Right from the brilliantly exciting intro, the whole track just sounds so strong, as if it was chiseled (镌刻) out of the very finest stone. A lot of this is down to Chris Cornell’s powerful and deeply rich voice. One of the greatest singers of his generation, he absolutely nails this track.

Writing’s On The Wall — Sam Smith
Spectre (2015)

The title theme that most people can’t actually remember. By all accounts, Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shows. Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.

1. Who gives an impression of joy to hear through his/her voice?

A．Tina Turner.	B．Sheryl Crow.
C．Chris Cornell.	D．Sam Smith.

2. How does the song Tomorrow Never Dies sound to the listeners?

A．Sweet.

B．Strong.

C．Gentle.

D．Terrible.

3. Which song lacks a Bond theme according to the author?

A．Golden Eye.

B．Tomorrow Never Dies.

C．You Know My Name.

D．Writing’s On The Wall.
