.Music and Driving

Listening to loud music while driving can seriously hamper reaction times and cause accidents,new research suggests.

A Canadian study found people took up to 20% longer to perform. physical and mental tasks to loud music. If motorists were delayed that long at the wheel they could suffer a fatal crash,warned the RAC.Foundation, a British motoring organization. Edmund King, the RAC Foundation"s executive director, said the study showed that" not only is loud music a nuisance to other,it could also be the cause of accidents".

Earlier research by the RAC Foundation found drivers were twice as likely to skip a red light while listening to music. In the Canadian study volunteers carried out tasks whiie listening to levels of noise varying from 53 decibels(equivalent to an office environment) to 95 decibels (equivalent to an oil rig). Researchers found reactions to be significantly decreased at higher noise levels for both physical and mental work. At 95 decibels reaction times to tasks that involve decision making plummeted(骤然减少) by 20%. Edmund King said:"The findings of the Canadian study are bad news for decibel-loving drivers, as they prove that not only is loud music a nuisance to others, it could also be the cause of accidents on the roads. "Drivers are at even greater risk if they listen to music with a pounding beat rather than more relaxed tunes, according to experts.

Conrad" King, consultant psychologist to the foundation, said:" It is important that drivers choose their music carefully when driving,as up-tempo music has been shown to cause drivers to have double the amount of accidents as those listening to slower music. "In general, if music is a-bove 60 beats per minute, listeners experience a faster rate and increased blood pressure. "It doesn"t matter if you listen to opera, classical or the latest rave music. It"s the speed of the beat that counts. "

According to scientific research, people may spend more time doing physical work if listening to loud music while doing the task. 查看材料

Musical Chairs

Do you know how to play a game called Musical Chairs" ? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts ,the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the play- ers try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again,one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

At last,there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with 查看材料

A.nine chairs

B.ten chairs

C.eleven chairs

根据以下材料,回答题

The Biology of Music

Humans use music as a powerful way to communicate. It may also play an important role in love. But what is music, and how does it work its magic? Science does not yet have all theanswers.

What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing .better than a lot of people).

However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals ,have developed musical instruments.

Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things——especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form. of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music?

If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.

Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However,they don"t automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russiancomposer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later.

On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.

By studying the physical effects of music on the body, scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That"s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone"s.mate. For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally ,when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.

However, Miller"s theory still doesn"t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.

请根据短文内容,回答题。

Music

Music is one of the most beautiful forms of artistic expressions ever invented. In movies and plays, music has an added function: it not only moves people but also can shock people.<br>

Our eardrums can withstand sound within 20 to 80 decibels (分贝 ) . Once sound exceeds this limit, even beautiful music will become car-splitting noise and harm health. A strong blast (响声 ) of high sound can twist and break a solid iron sheet. High sound of 150 decibels can kill a healthy rat.<br>

In movies, sometimes the hero can produce a sound that ordinary people can&39;t hear and only those who have the same ability can feel. In nature, there is actually sound that is beyond our hearing. In physics, the sound that exceeds 20,000 hz is called ultrasonic (超音波的). Dolphins, whales and bats can make such high-frequency sound. It does no harm to health.<br>

Sound less than 20 hz is called infrasonic (次声 ) waves. When we move, the air will vibrate.<br>

The vibration of air can produce infrasonic waves. As the frequency of infrasonic waves is close to that of people&39;s internal organs, infrasonic wave may cause resonance (共振) in human bodies. As a result, people&39;s vision may weaken and internal organs may rupture (断裂). However, whether an infrasonic wave can be used as a weapon depends on its intensity. If its intensity is very low, it won&39;t damage internal organs or a person&39;s health. If the intensity of infrasonic wave exceeds 160 decibels, it is extremely harmful. When wind blows at a force of 3 or 4 over the sea, it will produce infrasonic waves of several decibels. Only typhoons can produce infrasonic waves of over 100 decibels. At present, scientists can only produce infrasonic weapons in the lab with the help of advanced scientific tools and powerful electric power.

What could be the best title of the passage? 查看材料

A.The power of music

B.The harms of noises

C.The magic of sound

D.The discovery of infrasonic waves

请根据短文内容,回答题。

Compact Disks

If someone says to you your music CDs don&39;t really hold any music on them, and they only have numbers recorded on them, you may not believe it. In fact, he is right in that sound is actually recorded onto the CDs as special numbers--a digital code. The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps (隆起 )on a long spiral track almost five kilometers long. These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns (微米) wide.<br>

A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns. The light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces back. This lets the CD player turn the reflected light back into the original code. This means you can hear the original code as music.<br>

Digital codes are used with many technologies. E-mail needs these kinds of code numbers.<br>

Space probes (探测仪) communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes. Bar codes are read as digital codes in computer systems. Digital communications with cell phones need digital codes. Weather radios also tune in to specific signals using these codes.<br>

There are many types of compact disks. One format is called CD-RWs. They can be recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on) as you would do with a floppy disk (软盘). Another format is the CD-ROM. The technology for recording on these disks is different from other CDs. These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear. The clear and dark spots are the digital code. CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc--Read Only Memory. This disk is like a "super"floppy disk that can hold lots of information. One CD-ROM can hold the same amount of data as 500 floppy disks. Information is permanently recorded onto it. Computer games and other programs are<br>

considered to be CD-ROMs.<br>

CDs were first sold to the public in 1982. These CDs still play well and sound fine. Current CDs are expected to last between 70 to 200 years. Of course, you can make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them.<br>

Science keeps on developing. It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music recording. In the meantime, there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy listening to your favorite music on CDs and playing your favorite computer games on CD-ROMs.
