Its classical music, made for children.“He actually started as a child violinist，” said Marc Neikrug, a famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the album, “Sunken Cathedrals，” after being introduced by Rock Positano, a doctor with a special interest in musics value to medicine. “The three of us all want to promote classical music to children.”In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant distractions (使人分心的事物), however, Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical music. “Im concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower peoples attention spans (持续时间)，” he said. “Thats terrifying. How do you even absorb and learn things? How do you expect kids to do well in school？”“I think its really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus，” Neikrug said. “Great music can do that, because youre drawn into what youre listening to. A two or threeminute music may not seem so long to concentrate on, but its a good attention span for kids，” he said. “We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”All of the pieces on the twopart album are unadapted, complete works of classical music. “Phil, Dr. Rock and I were all completely convinced that we need little, short, beautiful pieces for kids. They happen to be really good for adults too，” he pointed out, though the words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people off.This doesnt mean you should toss all of your popular music albums away or trash all the screen devices (设备) in your home. “Im not an advocate for disregarding the reality of living in this world，” Neikrug said. “I would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally able to use the smartphone with one hand, is fine.”语篇解读：本文是议论文。Neikrug与Ramone合作制作了一张儿童古典音乐专辑，他认为古典音乐能帮助孩子们培养专注力。1What did Marc Neikrug and Rock Positano have in common?AThey had the same career.BThey had the same interest.CThey had the same circle of friends.DThey had the same number of children.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Marc Neikrug, a famous classical composer”和“Rock Positano, a doctor with a special interest in musics value to medicine. The three of us all want to promote classical music to children.”可知，Marc Neikrug和Rock Positano都对音乐感兴趣，致力于让孩子从小就听古典音乐。2What was Neikrug worried about?APeoples decreasing attention spans.BPeople becoming too aggressive.CPeoples low learning ability.DPeople losing faith in school.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Im concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower peoples attention spans (持续时间)”可知，当今世界让人们的持续关注时间不断减少，Neikrug对此表示担忧。3Why did Ramone and Neikrug select short pieces for the album?ATo attract distracted adults.BBecause of their own preference.CTo include more pieces in the album.DBecause of kids mental characteristics.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“. A twoor threeminute music may not seem so long to concentrate on, but its a good attention span for kids， he said. We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”可知，由于孩子的持续关注时间很短，所以Ramone和Neikrug专门选短小的曲子迎合孩子们的心智特征。4What does the text want to tell us?APopular music producers turned to classical music.BClassical music can coexist with digital devices.CIts never too late to listen to classical music.DKids can benefit from classical music.解析：选D主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“I think its really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus， Neikrug said. Great music can do that, because youre drawn into what youre listening to .”可以看出，Neikrug认为古典音乐能帮助孩子们培养专注力，这也是他与Ramone合作制作儿童古典音乐专辑的原因。 BHave you ever wondered why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music playing? Well, just look back at how you have felt when you have heard music playing at these places.Playing the right type of music can help people feel better.Music also has an effect on your concentration (集中注意力)Music even helps patients feel better and helps them recover faster and better.Depression (沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time.There are periods in our life when everything can seem difficult.Studies have shown that music can be a major mood (心情) lifter in such situations.Music also plays a great role in reducing anxiety.Anxiety often causes lack (不足) of sleep and other related problems.Music is often known as the international language.We may not know the language another person is speaking but most of us respond to music in the same manner.Music is one of the best ways to lift your moods, but this can depend a lot on the type of music you listen to.While happy music can make you feel better, sad music can further drown your spirits.If the tempo (拍子) is fast, you will become excited and dance to the music.Listening to classical music can often make you feel powerful while soft music can be the perfect way to help you relax at the end of a long day.If you want to use music to change the way you are feeling, you need to recognize the type of music that can lift your moods.Once you know the type of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel.语篇解读：音乐能够改善我们的心情，但是不同的音乐对于我们的情绪的影响是不一样的。 因此，我们要弄清各种音乐的作用，选择适合自己的音乐。5What type of music should you listen to after a tiring day?AClassical music.BRock music.CSad music.
