Question

Title:________________

　　Nowadays, music is an important part of our daily life. Different people have different ideas about music. As for old people, they may like classical music best. But young people may love modern music best. What kind of music do you like? Where do you usually enjoy music in your free time? Today we can enjoy music at a concert, in a theater, and even in many stores and restaurants.
　　Do you think music can affect people's behavior? Scientists believe that music changes the way people behave. According to some　scientists, the sound of classical music makes people comfortable because it's sweet. When it's played in a restaurant, people spend more money on food or drinks. But if it is changed to modern music, people spend less money. Because modern music may be too noisy. However, with no music, people spend even less in restaurants.
　　Scientists also believe that loud fast music such as rap(说唱乐) makes people eat faster. In fact, people eat their food faster when the music gets faster. So, in many restaurants, fast music is played during their busy hours. It gets people to eat more quickly. Restaurants can make more profits in this way.
　　Some scientists think that music makes people think and learn better. They say music makes students more active. When students are relaxed, they have a quick brain and learn better. Music can help them relax.
　　The next time you enjoy music somewhere, be careful, it may change the way you do things.

Answer 1

【分析】1. 由第二段可知饭店里播放古典音乐可以让客人多点餐。
2. 由第三段可知在饭店播放吵闹的音乐可以令客人吃饭的速度加快。
3. 饭店在客人多的时候播放吵闹的音乐就能加快客人吃饭的速度，这样饭店就能挣得更多的profits，可推测profits指的是“利润”。
4. A错：老人喜欢古典音乐这一点是文中提到的，不需要推断；B错：从文中得不出“学生没有音乐就不能学习”这个结论；C错：不是所有的饭店都播放音乐；D对：从文中举的例子可以看出音乐有时可以对人们的工作产生积极的影响。
5. 本文讨论的是不同音乐对人们的行为产生的不同影响，所以用Music and Behavior作标题最合适。
