【单词例句】
◇ "Provided the music has a calm, regular beat, it can actually help us to stay calm, reducing our stress, slowing our heart rate, and moderating our pulse," says Dr. Spelman. "This makes it easier for us to focus on the task at hand rather than entering into 'flight or fight' mode, in which it can be very difficult to think clearly because of our elevated levels of adrenaline and cortisol."
斯佩尔曼博士表示：“如果背景音乐的节拍比较平静、有规律，它实际上可以帮助我们保持平静，减轻我们的压力，减缓我们的心跳，调节我们的脉搏。这使我们更容易专注于手头的任务，而不是进入‘逃跑或战斗’模式，在这种模式下，由于肾上腺素和皮质醇水平升高，我们会很难清晰地思考问题。”
---- Listening to classical music at work boosts productivity
