A(2016·山东日照检测)Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your work.A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proofreading and problem­solving.In an office­based experiment, 88 per cent of participants are found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played.And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you’re doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills. Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed , with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs. During proofreading, dance music, such as David Guetta’s, had the biggest positive impact on participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all.Dance music also had a positive effect on spell­checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.The research, undertaken by Brighton­based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive.“The music experiment showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people performed better，” said Dr. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International. “Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep information, regulate their behavior, make good choices, solve problems, plan and adjust to changing mental demands，” a senior investigator of Mindlab International explained.“While many schools are cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparations, our findings suggest that musical training courses may actually help to set up children for a better academic future，” added Dr. David Lewis. 【解题导语】研究表明，合适的音乐对工作效率的提高有着积极的作用。

B(2016·太原模拟)A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children’s names.Nicole DespresStudents services manager, 40 (American)We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband’s family name. However, we did want to have a Western name too, so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name. We agreed there would be no strange names, spelling or unusual kanji(Chinese characters in the Japanese language). All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English. John McCrackenCompany general manager, 27(American)My son’s name is Aiden.In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland, I wanted a unique Gaelic(盖尔族的)name. We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means “legendary hero”.Paula MurakamiCollege women’s Association of Japan, 53(American)My husband was very excited about choosing names, so I decided to let him choose. He wanted their first names to be Japanese and camp up with names that included the kanji character in his own name. Our boys, Hiroki and Kenta, never had any problems while living on the U．S. West Coast with Japanese names, and I think both as children and as adults, they love their names.Jeff RuizRecording engineer, 42(Mexican)My son’s name is Lenny. My wife chose it together with me as we were looking for a name that works in both worlds — mine in Mexico, and hers in Japan — and the nameLenny is common everywhere. In Japanese we write the name in katakana as that is easy for Japanese people who seem to like names in two or three characters.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。
