A quiet space is often considered essential for achieving the concentration that leads to academic success.But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study.Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain，in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. One U.S.study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions.The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly.Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall.Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation，students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books.Music can also relieve stress associated with school.Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system，which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions.So it's no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage.Furthermore，while the brain feels better with music，the body may as well.Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense.What's more，calming music with a steady，meditative（冥想的） rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. However，some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good.Loud music may have a negative influence on a student's mood or act as a distraction.Actually，the best approach may depend on the students themselves.Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed A for all students，but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones.（1）What does the underlined word "navigate" in the first paragraph probably mean？ ____ A.Recognize.B.Assess.C.Overcome.D.Create.（2）The author writes Paragraph 3 mainly to ____ .A.present the effects of music on mind and bodypare the functions of different types of musicC.confirm the impacts of music on memory and recallD.give examples of the influences of music on emotions（3）What can we learn from this passage？ ____ A.Music helps students remove physical pain immediately.B.Loud music has the same calming effect as a massage.C.Listening to music makes it easier for students to multitask.D.Music is likely to better students' academic performance.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？ ____ A.The Power of SilenceB.The Score to Better ScoresC.Music to a Sharper MindD.Road to Academic Success
