参考解析
解析：本题给出的信息是正确的。在文章第二段第一句话中提到“... people took up to 20% longer to perform physical and mental tasks to loud music.”由此可见，只要听着声音较大的音乐，无论是进行体力劳动还是脑力劳动大约都会多花费20%的时间。
本题给出的信息是错误的。在文章第二段最后一句话中提到了埃德蒙·金的观点" not only is loud music a nuisance to others , it could also be the cause of accidents"，由此可见，吵闹的音乐不光会影响到别人，还会导致车祸，所以他并不认为大声的音乐时驾驶员没有害处。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章中只在最后一段提到“if music is above 60 beats per minute , listeners experience a faster heart rate and increased blood pressure.”如果每分钟音乐的节拍超过60下，听者就会感到心跳加速和血压增高。全文没有任何地方提到了喧闹的音乐是否会造成心脏病发作。
本题给出的信息是错误的。在第三段中提到：" At 95 decibels reaction times to tasks that involve decision making plummeted by 20% .”。只要抓住这一细节，即可得出答案。由这句话可以知道，减少的幅度是20%而不是53%。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。全文完全没有提到爵士乐这种音乐形式，只提到了节奏感较强以及较为轻松的音乐。
本题给出的信息是正确的。文章最后一段开头就提到了康拉德·金，他说：" It is important that drivers choose their music carefully when driving.”并指出了需要慎重选择音乐的原因。
本题给出的信息是正确的。文章最后一句话指出：" It's the speed of the beat thatcounts.”这里count意思是“重要”，所以我们很容易得出结论，音乐节拍的速度是一个重要的衡量标准。
