Ⅲ.短文阅读 (2026楚雄期末)
Do you know what music people like listening to? If you ask them, you may get many different answers. Why do different people have different musical preferences(偏好)? Researchers from Cambridge University made a study about these questions.
In the study, researchers discovered musical preferences are connected to personality. Outgoing people prefer danceable music. Country music fans are more serious in their jobs. One of the findings is quite interesting. The researchers thought that stressed people might like sad music or soft music. However, they prefer rock music. Perhaps they like to listen to this kind of music to relax.
The researchers also found that climates may influence people's musical preferences. People in hot weather are more outgoing and prefer danceable music. This could be a result of longer daylight hours. The longer the daylight hours are, the more likely people are to listen to danceable music.
Of course, nothing is clear-cut. We may not group people simply by their musical tastes. The study simply showed us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think and music is really like a bridge.
