Since I discovered it two years ago, Ive used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. Ive found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in 2008 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious (潜意识的) talent to come through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.Music can also have a great effect on mood. If Im in a bad mood at work, Ill listen to some of Bob Marleys and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what Im doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background, I would have hated life.Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error youll finally discover your best choice, Im always looking for new concentration aids, so Id love to know what type of music works best for me.5We can infer that the passage was written in _.A2005 B2006C2010 D2008解析：选C推理判断题。根据第一段的“Since I discovered it two years ago .”可知，作者两年前发现了听音乐的好处；根据第二段的“It was a few days before Christmas in 2008 .”可知，作者指的两年前是2008年，因此写这篇文章的时间是2010年。6The author first discovered the effects of music _.Afrom his parents Bby chanceCat work Dwhen he was a child解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段的“.I was playing online video games .After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play.”可知，作者在玩游戏时偶然发现了听音乐的巨大作用。7The author mentions the experience of collecting bottle openers in Paragraph 3 to _.Atell us that life is dullBprove that music affects moodCtell us how to seek happinessDtell us bad mood can affect work解析：选B推理判断题。第三段的主题句为第一句，下面举的例子是为了证明这个观点的，故答案为B项。8In order to get the greatest effect of music, you are advised to _.Alisten to some of Bob Marleys Bonly choose relaxing musicCtest all kinds of musicDlisten to classic rock解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks.
