（Ⅰ） Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your work. 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 ex periment, 88 percent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music. The study al so found that 81 percent completed their fastest work when music was played. And it matters wha t 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 Jes sie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 percent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs. During proofread ing, dance music, such as David GuettA s, had the biggest positive impact on participants increasing their speed by 20 percent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all. Dance music also had a positive effect on spell checking with a 75 percent 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 e xperiment showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people performed better，” said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International. “Proper music enabl es people to quickly process and keep information, regulate their behavior, make good choices, solve problems, plan and adjust to changing mental demands，” a senior investigator of Mindlab International explained. “While many school s are cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparations, our findings suggest that musical training courses may actually help to set up children for a better academic future，” added Dr David Lewis. 【分析】研究表明，合适的音乐对工作效率的提高有着积极的作用。 1．What does the passage mainly talk about A．The positive relationship between music and work efficiency.
