C
①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window? How
do you feel when you hear it? In fact, it is shown that birdsong
can influence people’s lives.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it re-
minds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong
for six minutes can help reduce people’s stress. It’s hard to feel
sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in
their songs makes people feel like walking in the garden. Unlike
music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings,
birdsong is usually seen as positive or neutral( 中性的). If you
live in a noisy city, birdsong can be a welcome relief from the
stress caused by outside noise.
③Another benefit is that birdsong has also been found to
improve focus and concentration. It can help people focus on
their tasks and be more productive. That’s because when people
play birdsong in the background at work, it seems that a “wall”
is built to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise out-
side. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve
productivity at work.
④Carrie Torn, a doctor in North Carolina has also found
that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep.
Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s
heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long
time, a conditioned response( 条件反射 ) is developed in their
brains. Therefore, birdsong becomes a signal of entering sleep,
which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve
their sleep quality.
⑤ Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with
calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and
healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment
to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to
your day!
