'Unit9MusicIn-ClassReadingMusictoYourGear参考译文音乐与开车安迪·埃利斯1尽管音乐能使你胸中的怒气平息，但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明，听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力，而且心理学家也提醒人们，不断地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的，尤其是处于车流中或在高速公路上开车时。2音乐有两个极端，任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏会使人莽撞驾驶，而聆听处于另一个极端的优美的、令人舒心的音乐，会使司机过分放松，以至于丧失安全意识，陷入迷迷糊糊的欲睡状态。3英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全，它委托搞了一个项目，研究严重车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现，17至25年龄段的男人是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现，这个群体的人70%的开车时间都在听音乐。4快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响，会使人易怒好斗，开起车来就会冲劲十足，这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。5在试验中，给那些自愿参加实验的司机听声音很响的音乐，他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车，但的确发现自己换档更快了，加速也快了，刹车更急了。若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲，他们承认经常感到自己走神，他们在高速公路上长途开车时，至少有两位参试的司机发现自己不知不觉地在跨越车道标记。6这些自愿参试的司机（有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照）所发表的意见非常说明问题。十八岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会，“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐真会让人送命的。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。”7另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听ZZTop乐队最流行的曲子，他说，“我一直在快速行驶，扯着嗓门唱歌，没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。”8还有些人说：“我陷入了深思”……“人的感觉会变得麻木”……“听不见别的汽车是个问题”，“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。”9一些慢节奏的背景音乐，如肖邦的音乐，会刺激人的大脑，使思维模式发生变化，激发阿尔法脑波，使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数情况下对我们有好处，但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利费希尔教授提醒人们说：“最大的危险是疲劳驾驶。有些音乐会使你无法集中注意力，甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态，那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。”10“问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听，但是当交通状况糟糕时，或是交通拥挤时，这种音乐会分散你的注意力。”11然而，音乐也有其好的一面，正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特韦斯特所指出的那样：“14 如果有些音乐影响我们安全行驶，那么反过来也是有道理的。精心选择的曲子会有助于我们安全行驶，尤其是对高风险的群体。例如，要是我们能使年轻的男性驾车者听曼陀瓦尼的音乐，他们很可能会把速度放慢。但可悲的是，我自认为没有能力说服他们许多人去这样做。”12不仅某种音乐会影响行驶安全，我们的车里安装了高技术的音响系统这件事本身也是引起车祸的根源。近期一份有关交通与道路安全的报告表明，小的交通事故中，大约有40%是由于人们在更换磁带或光盘不看道路所引起的！13无论我们对音乐的品位如何，无论我们的开车风格如何，看来安全行驶的习惯是我们一定要养成的。罗孚汽车公司、英国航空航天局、飞利浦公司及瑞典道路与交通研究所已通力合作生产一种汽车智能系统,简称为ARIADNE（实时智能驾驶助理）的精密电子防撞行驶报警装置，它利用雷达技术，一旦面临撞车危险，雷达会使车内的电话响起，警告司机注意。14如果汽车与前面的车辆之间的距离超出了安全刹车的范围，ARIADNE会通过加速器踏板发出震动以提醒司机放慢速度。随着两车之间的距离不断缩短，这种震荡会越来越强烈，要是司机对这种警告仍然无动于衷的话，发动机的运转就会中断，危险警告灯就亮起来。15因此千万要记住：即便音乐是爱的食物，也要悠着点，尤其是在你开车的时候，这样我们大家就可以继续“播放”下去。After-ClassReadingSongsofLove参考译文爱心之歌1从很多方面来说，约翰•贝尔茨可称得上是世界上最成功的歌曲作家。他写的每一首歌保证大受欢迎——不是指在流行音乐排行榜上，而是在孩子的心中。原因是贝尔茨的每一首歌都是写给一位身患重病的孩子。他的歌总是能让孩子们露出笑容并振作精神。他们一遍遍地播放这些歌。这对于贝尔茨来说要比高居流行音乐排行榜有意义得多。2三十八岁的贝尔茨是一个非营利组织“爱心之歌”的创始人和主席。这个组织由音乐家、歌曲作家、歌手和音响师自愿联合组成，创作反映孩子个性的独特而欢快的歌曲。贝尔茨掌管着这一组织，并在纽约市昆斯区父母家的地下室建立了一个小型的录音室。3贝尔茨相信音乐有治疗效果。当一个成年人聆听一首自己喜爱的歌曲时，他会心情舒畅；那么当一个小孩听到一首专门为自己谱写的歌曲时，结果也会非常令人振奋。“爱心之歌”自1996年组建以来，为孩子们谱写、录音并发送了780首鼓舞人心的歌曲，这一切都是免费进行的。那些得到歌曲的孩子们，下至婴儿，上至青少年，全都处于生命的绝境，如有的身患癌症、有的要肾透析治疗、有的在等待器官移植等。他们大部分是美国60家医院的病人，那里的专家们定期要贝尔茨的歌，他们利用玩乐对儿童进行心理治疗。4一些著名的音乐家，在听说了“爱心之歌”后，纷纷援助这个项目。有170位专业音乐人奉献才艺，其中有歌手洛妮•斯佩克特、摇滚歌星罗杰•多尔特里，以及百老汇音乐剧《泰坦尼克号》的全体演员。超级流行歌星比尔•14 乔尔还为一个孩子写的歌做口头介绍。当然，大部分表演者尚未出名。纽约市的警察和一所中学的合唱团也录制过一些歌曲。5“爱心之歌”的音乐风格迥异，有用脚尖击拍的欢快流行音乐、乡村音乐还有轻柔的歌谣和说唱乐。因为贝尔茨出生在巴西，会说西班牙语和葡萄牙语，有时他就用这两种语言录制歌曲。在为一个孩子谱写歌曲之前，家长或护士要填写一张表，告知有关该小孩的兴趣、爱好、家庭、宠物及其他喜爱的东西。然后贝尔茨将这张表交给已选定的歌曲家，他会将表中所列的这些细节编写到歌曲中。孩子的名字在整首歌中会多次提到。歌曲作者还会找歌手演唱这首歌，而且有可能的话，他们会用自己的设备录制，或者请当地愿意赞助的录音棚予以录制。结果表明，这是使孩子们感觉好的良方。当然，歌中是决不会提及小孩的病情的。6贝尔茨有许多活页夹，放满了孩子和家长们的感谢信，信中描述了孩子第一次听到专门为他们创作的歌曲时的反应。这样的信令贝尔茨感到欣慰，因为这正是他所期待的。他创建“爱心之歌”是为纪念他的孪生兄弟胡里奥，一位音乐家、歌手和歌曲作家。在与精神疾病进行过一番抗争后，胡里奥于24岁自杀，他在死前的两个月曾写过一首伤感的歌谣，其中一句歌词为“要驱走恐惧，我们真正需要的是爱心之歌。”7贝尔茨没有结婚，没有自己的孩子，他原先从未想过会为孩子们写歌。他说，有一天他走在街上，脑海里忽然出现了这个念头，并且马上感到自己会成功。他回家后打电话给田纳西州孟菲斯的圣裘德儿童研究医院，说他想为病重的孩子们写歌，但院方说他们不能公开病人的个人资料。不过他们说确有六张用于宣传的儿童照片，照片上附有少量的个人资料。如果贝尔茨觉得有用的话，他们同意将这些照片寄给他。贝尔茨收到了照片并在四天内写了六首歌。院方收到这些歌曲后，打电话高度赞扬了他。不久之后，一位身患癌症的小女孩的母亲打来电话向他致谢，随后女孩本人也打电话感谢他。就在这时，他明白了这就是他的职业。8如今，贝尔茨与他的组织成员每月创作30至40首歌曲。不幸的是，有时歌曲还没送到，孩子已去世了，但孩子的父母仍然告诉他，此歌在悼念孩子的过程中是一种安慰。9与大多数慈善事业一样，“爱心之歌”几乎一直缺少资金。为了节约开支，贝尔茨搬回家与退休的父母同住，他们也支持他的事业。他的长远目标是为所有年龄段的病人送上“爱心之歌”，包括住在养老院的老人和精神病患者。贝尔茨想方设法筹钱，他曾卖掉一张唱片及一盘磁带，上面录有21首儿童慈善歌曲，第22首歌便是他兄弟胡里奥自编自唱的“爱心之歌”。贝尔茨想下次出唱片时说服史蒂维•旺德或保罗•麦卡特尼演唱“爱心之歌”，这样就能保证基金会有一笔更可观的销售收入。同时，贝尔茨本人一直都是“爱心之歌”最多产的歌曲作家，确保了为病重的孩子写歌的所有要求都得到满足。课内阅读练习答案PartOnePreparation14
