话题语篇专攻练15文娱体育(二)(建议用时35分钟). 阅读理解AA few years ago, pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results. People thought that poetry was the new rock nroll. However, despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets, poetry and pop music didnt seem to mix. But are they really so different? If you look back at the origins of poetry, there is a strong connection between poems and popular music. In Greek mythology, for example, the muse(女神)Erato is pictured with a lyre(里尔琴)in her hand, and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar. In addition, the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today. But despite their common origins, there are many differences between poetry and pop music. Pop songs are always written for a public performance, whereas poetry often isnt. And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry. This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words. Pop lyrics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing. This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart. Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings. Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship, such as falling in love or breaking up. The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in “serious” poetry. However, talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer stars like Robbe Williams, often give simple songs more expression when they perform them. And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry. So although pop music and poetry have many differences, they do have one important thing in common: the power to make us think about how we feel. 【文章大意】本文主要谈论的是诗歌和流行音乐的异同。1.

A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proof reading and problem solving. In an office-based experiment, 88 per cent of participants were 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 youre 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 proof reading, dance music, such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact with 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 percent when no music was played at all. The research, undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive. “The music experiment showed that when listening to music, nine out of 10 people performed better, ”said Dr. David Lewis, Chairman of Mindlab International. “Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep information, regulate their behaviors, make good choices, solve problems, plan and adjust to changing mental demands, ”a senior investigator of Mindlab International explains. “While many schools are cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparation, our findings suggest that musical training may actually help to set up children for a better academic future, ”added Dr. David Lewis. 【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲述了音乐与工作效率之间的关系, 人们可以根据工作性质的不同选择合适的音乐, 在音乐的伴奏下人们工作的效率更高。5.
