A large number of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps creativity.

However, an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that opinion. Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gävle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings show music actually blocks creativity.

To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants(参与者) complete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music “badly affected” the participants’ ability to complete tasks related to verbal creativity.

The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word related to all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).

Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar words, instrumental music, or music with familiar words. “We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.

To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity, and instead prove that music consistently disrupts creative performance in dealing with problems.

1.What’s the main idea of this passage?

3.How did the researchers get the conclusion according to the paragraph 5?

A.While working, we can listen to some familiar music.

高一英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Justin Bieber may have millions of fans worldwide, but Russia’s bears don’t appear to admire the pop singer’s music --- which proved fortunate for one lucky fisherman.

Igor Vorozhbitsyn had his life saved by a Justin Bieber ringtone, when his mobile phone went off during a dangerous attack by a brown bear.

The 42-year-old was attacked as he was walking to a favourite fishing spot in northern Russia’s Yakutia Republic and firmly believed that he was going to be killed.

Wildlife experts believe the ringtone must have frightened the bear into stopping its attack.

‘Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its attack and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear,’ explained one.

Mr Vorozhbitsyn suffered from cuts and severe wounds and was rescued when he was found by other fishermen after using the phone to call for help.

Mr Vorozhbitsyn ---now recovering from his wounds---explained: ‘I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.’

‘I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and it run away.’

‘I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke,’ he added.

Adult brown bears can weigh as much as 600kg and have been known to kill wolves and even Siberian tigers.

Finally, this is a proof that Justin Bieber is unbearable.

1.Igor Vorozhbitsyn was attacked when____.

A. he was fishing at his favourite fishing spot.

B. he was walking towards his favourite fishing spot.

C. he was phoning his granddaughter.

2.The bear stopped attacking because___.

A. Justin Bieber came to rescue Igor Vorozhbitsyn.

B. Justin Bieber sang to it.

C. Justin Bieber’s ringtone was a sudden fright to it.

D. Igor Vorozhbitsyn’s mobile phone was a sudden fright to it.

3. What is the writer’s attitude towards Justin Bieber?

A. positive　 　　　　　 B. negative

C. neutral (中立的)　 D. not mentioned

4.What do you know from the last paragraph?

A. Justin Bieber’s music is popular all over the world.
