五、阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项(其中一项是多余选项),将其序号填入第1—4小题,并回答第5小题
Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity. It works for people of all ages. 1. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. It could take as many as three weeks to see any improvement.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? 2. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats per minute(bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. 3. You may need to try making your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out(渐弱). 4.
It is very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music.
A. Familiar songs work well too.
B. Scientists like different kinds of music.
C. The reasons aren't clear yet.
