听力原文: Let's face it -- we all have some form. of stress. Whether it's due to work, school reports, family, or relationships, we could all use a break now and then. Yet in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a lot of us can't find the time to just drop everything and take it easy.
Well, what if someone told you that by just playing music from classical composers like Mozart or Strauss, you might find your job a little easier and that you might even be able to relax? This has actually been found to be true: listening to classical music has proven to be beneficial to learning and mind relaxation. It can also reduce our levels of stress.
Various studies of children have shown that those who receive music education or play a musical instrument often have increased academic skills. Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect, has dedicated himself to studying the effects of music on the mind and body. He counsels students that classical music playing in the background can help them concentrate for longer periods of time and memorize material more easily. He feels that Mozart's music has a balance that makes it especially beneficial. But Campbell doesn't stop with Mozart. He says that Bach can stimulate the mind, military marches can rev up the body, and religious music can help create a meditative mood. It's important to find what works best for your situation.
So the next time you feel yourself overwhelmed with work and deadlines, or if you're just finding it difficult to concentrate, remember the power of music.
A lot of people can't find the time to have a break.
