【解析】

试题分析:本文讲诉的是本来热爱音乐的埃迪在大学里不知什么原因学了医学，后来当了医生。他发现医院里的病人听了美丽的音乐后对他们的病有好处，所以他每天都在办公室里放悦耳的音乐。

1.D细节推理题。根据第一段：…but when he went to the university he decided to study medicine instead of music. When he passed his examinations and became a doctor, he had to work in a hospital for some time.(…….但是当他去大学的之后他决定去学医学而不是音乐。当他通过考试成为了一名医生后，在一家医院工作了一段时间)可知文章并没有讲到埃迪为什么会放弃他喜爱的音乐去学医学。故选D.

2.B细节理解题。根据第一段：There he discovered that a lot of patients were happier and caused less trouble if pleasant music was played to them.可知埃迪发现放音乐对病人的病有帮助，故选B.
