Music is particularly popular in the medical profession, especially among surgeons（外科醫生）. A recent survey shows that90% of surgeons in the UK put music on the sound system in the theatre during operations. Plastic surgeons（整形外科醫生） play the most music, it appears that ear. nose and throat specialists the least

But it isn’t only in surgeries（外科手術） where music is popular. In another recent survey. one-third of the 1,613 people said they listen to music while working. And79% of them said that humming（哼歌）along improves their job satisfaction or productivity.

Is listening to music at work a good idea? Yes,say the experts. Many surgeons say that music helps to create a “calm atmosphere,” and a third of them added that it avoids getting bored! Also, listening to music raises the levels of a brain chemical that can help people focus. Office workers say it improves job satisfaction.

So, what type of music should we be listening to? Surgeons from the previous survey preferred rock, pop music and classical. And hip-hop is popular too.
