Muzak

The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 1.. It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.

Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2..

If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3..

Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4.. Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.

5.. They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

A.Some people don't like Muzak.

B.The music gives them extra energy.

C.Music is playing in the background.

D.Factory workers produce 13 percent more.

E.Muzak tends to help people understand music better.

F.They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.

G.Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.

Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.

Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .

Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.

However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.

A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces　 for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!

Many studies link music study to academic achievements. But what is it about serious music training that seems to associate with great success in other fields?

I put the question to top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious (if often little-known) past lives as musicians, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, was a professional saxophone player. The billionaire Bruce Kovner is a pianist who took classes at Juilliard. Almost all made a connection between their music training and their professional achievements. Mr. Greenspan says, ''I can tell you as a statistician, the probability that that is mere chance is extremely small. That's all that you can judge about the facts. The important question is: why does that connection exist? ''

Paul Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, offers an answer. He says music ''builds up your confidence in the ability to create''. The music had the emotional similarity to his day job, with each giving a different type of motivation. The NBC chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd, who attended college on music scholarships, says there is a connection between years of practice and competition and what he calls the ''drive for perfection''. He adds, ''The group playing trains you, quite literally, to play well with others, to know when to solo (独奏) and when to follow. ''

For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a ''hidden language'', as the former World Bank president James Wolfensohn calls it, one that improves the ability to connect diverse or even contradictory ideas. According to him, music may not make you a genius, or a better person. But it helps train you to think differently, to process different points of view-and most importantly, to take pleasure in listening.

1.How does Alan Greenspan find the connection between music training and professional achievements?

A.It's relatively weak. B.It's not common fact.

C.It's not a coincidence. D.It's widely acknowledged.

2.What quality does music equip Chuck Todd with?

A.Teamwork. B.Confidence.

C.Creativity. D.Tolerance.

3.How does the author mainly develop the text？

A.By comparing different facts. B.By debating and concluding.

C.By self-questioning and answering. D.By offering concrete examples.

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A.Music contributes to success. B.Music is the universal language.

C.Music can change your career. D.Music is linked to academic success.
