Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students39。 grades. According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意） better if allowed to play with a small object. The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don39。t believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on. I prefer to work on the floor with music on, said Sam, a 13yearold boy. At first my parent thought I didn39。t study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last.（1）What advantage of music hasn39。t been mentioned in the passage?
