Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．C;3．B;4．A;
解析：

(1)	从第一段中的“taking the heavy-hand line of ordering him to his bedroom to get on with it quietly”，可以推断家长常常是反对孩子边听音乐边做作业的。
(2)	第一句就告诉了我们答案，做作业时边听音乐或开着电视有助于提高成绩。
(3)	Millfield预备学校的研究显示：大约20％的人在有音乐的情况下学习效率最佳(around 20％ of youngsters work best with background music)。
(4)	“…letting them do their work listening to music or even lying down…”是Millfield预备学校采取的新方法的具体措施。
