24、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 improves efficiency. 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.

【1】Some bosses in Britain encourage the workers to listen to music because ________.

A．the workers don’t like their jobs

B．the bosses want to do a study

C．the workers can improve the efficiency

D．the bosses like music very much

【2】What is the same for the workers in Becky Spelman’s experiment?

A．Kind of music.

B．Time of copying.

C．Efficiency of working.

D．Number of workers.

【3】According to Becky Spelman, white noise is ________.

A．able to help people stay calm

B．a special kind of classical music

C．able to help people work slowly

D．a mixture of different kinds of music

【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Noise brings harm

B．Workers interested in music

C．Music improves efficiency

D．Experiments of music playing
