Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job. A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proofreading 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 work fastest when music was played. And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you're 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 proofreading, 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 spell?checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent 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 Works experiment revealed a positive correlation between music and productivity. Overall, it showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people performed better, said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.
1.Whose music can help you do maths homework according to the study?
A.The music of Justin Bieber.

China Daily---Last week, the Beijing municipal government released a list of 192 areas in the capital where spring blooms, including peach, magnolia, apricot and winter jasmine, can be enjoyed from March to May.

七选五
1. . Still, all flavors are based on just four basic tastes: sweet, bitter, salty, and sour. Some food experts argue there is a fifth basic taste called umami(a Japanese word that can be translated roughly as "tasty" or "savory"), but this theory remains controversial. 2.
How can so few basic tastes give rise to the enormous number of flavors we experience? 3. Compare this to colors. There are only three basic colors—yellow, red, and blue—but when mixed in different ways and proportions, these three basic colors are sufficient to create the vast array of colors that we see every day.
Apart from being influenced by different combinations of the basic tastes, the experience of taste is also enriched by other sensations, such as odor (气味) and temperature. These functions together produce what we recognize as unique tastes. In fact, what we perceive as taste often involves smell more than the taste experienced through the tongue. 4. For example, cinnamon tastes quite mild to people who cannot enjoy its fragrant smell. The same is true of drinks, like hot coffee or tea, which taste best when they can be smelled and tasted.
5. The reason why hot, spicy foods like chili peppers are tasty is that they affect the lingual nociceptors. Nociceptors are small areas on the surface of the body that help protect us against injury. Nociceptors on the skin warn us of potential damage to the body. When we are pricked with a needle, for example, nociceptors represent that sensation as pain. A special kind of nociceptor called a lingual nociceptor is found on the tongue and, along with the other senses, helps us enjoy certain foods.
A. These are basic tastes that we are familiar with.
B. This is possible because the basic tastes combine in different proportions.
C. Each food we eat tastes different, and there are untold numbers of different tastes.
D. This is why foods with strong tastes often seem unattractive to people who, due to a stuffy nose, cannot smell them.
E. What can also contribute to the sensation of taste is our ability to feel pain.
F. So there are a small number of basic tastes that affect a big number of flavors.
G. Regardless of whether there are four or five basic tastes, the number is small.

I was not good in math in the first year of junior high school. Having been failed so many times in math exams, I was anxious about the subject. Every time I tried hardly to work out a math problem, I was afraid of making mistakes, that really made me feel helpless. Unluckily, I met a math teacher in the second year. She told me that I didn’t need to worry about making mistakes, because I could find out my shortcomings through my mistake. She always encouraged me to try again whenever I make a mistake. Thanks to my teacher’s encouragement, I became interesting in math and made rapid progresses. My experience proves that failure is the mother of success and we can learn a lot from our mistakes.
