Should you listen to music when you work?
Do you like to listen to music when you work?
Ask this question at a party, and you’ll probably get ____11____ responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting (分散注意力的) and cannot work ____12____ with music playing in the background. Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just ____13____ on what sort of work you’re doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) ____14____ task-searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and ____15____ word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, ____16____ others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was cither loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings ____17____ from our study.
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to ____18____ music performed best on the easy task. On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.
How should we ____19____ these findings? We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both _____20_____ and tasks can draw. We can become _____21_____ and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and _____22_____ when these resources are used up. Not surprisingly we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less _____23_____ during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra _____24_____ we need to overcome the monotony
(单调). However, difficult tasks already demand lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much.
So best _____25_____ should appear when we strike “sweet spot,” which may depend on the type of music and the type of task. 11. A. fixed 12. A. effectively 13. A. depends 14. A. unpleasant 15.
