It’s common knowledge that music can have a powerful effect on our emotions. In fact, since the 1930s, music therapists have relied on music to calm patients and help control pain. Now psychologists are confirming that music can also help relieve depression and improve concentration. For instance, in a recent study, 50 surgeons were given some high-stressed math problems to solve. They were divided into three groups: one worked in silence, and in another, the surgeons listened to music of their choice on headphones; the third group listened to classical music chosen by the researchers. The results of the study may surprise you. The doctors who got to choose their own music experienced less stress and scored better than the others. One possible explanation is that listening to the music you like stimulates Alfa waves in the brain, increases heart rate and expands breathing. That helps to reduce stress and sharpen concentration. Other research suggests a second relationship between music and the brain: By examining the blood of students after they listened to a variety of classical music selections, researchers found that some students showed a large increase in endorphin, a natural pain reliever. This supports what music therapists have known for years; Music can help revitalize or calm the patient.

选项 A、To replace physical therapy.
B、To control brain seizures.
C、To prevent heart disease.
D、To relieve tension.

答案 D

解析 A的表述太过绝对,可排除。问题询问的是“音乐疗法”目前在医疗中的作用。只要听清问题,根据常理,它在医学中只是为了缓解病人的紧张情绪。由短文中提到的…that music can also help relieve depression and improve concentration可知,D为答案。
