问题     Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people’s attitudes and behavior.
    Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones), people become more irritable and less cooperative; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems. However, psychologists distinguish between "sound" and "noise". "Sound" is measured physically in decibels (分贝). "Noise" cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of "intensity" depends on the situation.
    Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.  [br] According to the passage, people______.
选项 A、can not work better in a noisy situation
B、will suffer from complete deafness because of noise pollution
C、can be psychologically affected by working in very noisy factories
D、may cooperate well in a noisy surrounding
答案 C
解析 本题问文章指出人们在有噪音干扰的情况下如何。根据文章第一段和第二段的内容我们知道，心理学家们现在认为，噪声对人们的态度及行为具有相当大的影响。实验证明，在嘈杂的环境下(即使这种环境是临时的)人们也会变得易于急躁、更加不易于合作。在噪声更加持久的环境下，许多人会无法很投入地工作，他们会感到十分焦虑，也会产生其他的不良心理症状。因此，本题的正确答案应是C“在有噪音的环境中工作会产生不良心理影响”。
