Section Ⅳ　Discovering Useful Structures [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 Why do people listen to music? The answer may seem simple: Music is pleasant to make and to hear. But music touches our lives in many other ways, too. Music changes our mood My brother doesn't choose music based on what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music with that mood in mind. Upbeat, bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music, too. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder. Music helps us get things done Do you ever listen to music while you work? I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate. According to one expert, music can help you pay attention during boring or repeated tasks. But when you are doing tasks that require more thought, music can disturb you, making them harder. My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music to manage her classroom. When she wants to call a child, instead of yelling the child's name, she sings it. This creates a more positive environment, while still getting the child's attention. Music brings people together Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live. Live music often features a group of people playing different instruments which makes it a shared experience. Listeners can share the emotions the song expresses. They also create memories together. And speaking of memories, lots of people connect music with specific places, people or events. Whenever they hear a certain song, they are transported back to some point in the past. Thus music can connect people not only to people who are present but also to people from their past. Music is far more than just entertainment; it is a powerful force that affects us in many ways. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了人们听音乐的原因，以及音乐在许多方面影响着我们的生活。 1．Why do some people enjoy sad music?
