第 58 课:music 音乐 - 2

A; what kind of music do you like listening to?

B; I like music that has a fast beat and is lively, like dance music. You know, I go to a disco almost every week. Sometimes it's too loud though. You prefer classical music, don't you?

A; yes, I do. I find it very relaxing. I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work.

B; I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music. It's certainly more sophisticated that modern dance music.

A; classical music is supposed to be good for you brain. Research suggest that it makes your brain more active. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better.

B: really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress.

A; yes. That's why I listen to it in the evenings. I usually play it as background music while I'm cooking or doing other housework.

B; I've got a few classical music CD's. I should follow your lead and increase my brian power.

A: you can find plenty of recording on the internet too. You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them.

B; that's a good idea. You should do the same with some music. You might find something you like. Classical music might make you clever, but dance might make you livelier and happier.

A; that's true. There's clear evidence that people who listen to lively music are lively people. Music can influence a person's feeling and character.
