（C）

　　Many studies have been conducted to discover the benefits of listening to and playing music. The growing field of “music treatment” is presenting increasing amounts of proof that point to the great powers of music.

　　Emotional（情绪）benefits

　　The right song can put anybody in a better mood. Most people turn to certain songs to improve their moods. The main reason behind this is that music can express our feelings better than any other medium. In addition, we have favourite songs for particular situations because we turn to the music which has the best effect on us.

　　Music and exercise

　　Have you ever noticed how out of breath you get when listening to an exciting song while doing exercises at the gym? It has been suggested that exciting music can actually increase muscle tension（肌肉紧张），while light music does the opposite.

　　It has also been proved that music can improve motor skills. An experiment conducted on a group of pupils proved that children learning basic motor skills such as throwing, catching and jumping while listening to music did better than those with no music.

　　Relief(减轻)of chronic（慢性的）pain

　　Music also has the ability to ease chronic pain. In fact according to a paper published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, music can reduce chronic pain by 21%. The paper reports that 60 patients in an experiment were divided into two groups—one group listened to music, and the other did not. The results showed that people who listened to music for an hour each day for a week improved physically and psychologically while those who did not listen to music did not.
