The guy in the next cubicle is yammering away on the phone. Across the room, someone begins cursing loudly at a jammed copy machine. The headphones on the other end of your desk suddenly look very appealing. Would anyone mind if you tapped into your iTunes playlist for a while? Some workers like to listen to music when they find themselves losing focus. They may also plug in their earbuds to escape an environment that’s too noisy—or too quiet—or to make a repetitive job feel more lively.
In biological terms, melodious sounds help encourage the release of dopamine(a chemical found in brain)in the reward area of the brain, as would eating a delicacy, looking at something appealing or smelling a pleasant aroma, said Dr. Amit Sood, a physician of integrative medicine with the Mayo Clinic. People’ s minds tend to wander, "and we know that a wandering mind is unhappy," Dr. Sood said. "Most of that time, we are focusing on the imperfections of life." Music can bring us back to the present moment. "It breaks you out of just thinking one way," said Teresa Lesiuk, an assistant professor in the music therapy program at the University of Miami. Dr. Lesiuk’s research focuses on how music affects workplace performance. In one study involving information technology specialists, she found that those who listened to music completed their tasks more quickly and came up with better ideas than those who didn’t, because the music improved their mood.
Dr. Lesiuk found that personal choice in music was very important. She allowed participants in her study to select whatever music they liked and to listen as long as they wanted. Those who were moderately skilled at their jobs benefited the most, while experts saw little or no effect. And some novices regarded the music as distracting. Dr. Lesiuk has also found that the older people are, the less time they spend listening to music at work.
Few companies have policies about music listening, said Paul Flaharty, a regional vice president at a staffing agency. But it is still a good idea to check with your manager, even if you see others wearing headphones in the office. For those who choose to listen to music, it’s best to set limits, because wearing headphones for an entire shift can be perceived as rude by those nearby.
Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 3?
选项
A、People who are not so skilled at their job benefit the most.
B、Music has the biggest effect on experts.
C、Newcomers find music distracting their work.
D、Older people spend less time listening to music.
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第三段。根据选项,找到“Those who were moderatelyskilled at their jobs benefited the most…regarded the music as distracting.”由此可知,那些对工作中等熟练的员工从音乐中获益最大,而专家却很少或几乎没有受到影响,还有一些工作新手认为音乐让人分心。因此B项“专家受益最大”是错误的,选B项。A项“不太熟练的员工获益最大”,C项“新手认为音乐让人分心”,D项“年纪大的人听音乐时间少”均与原文相符。
