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 (電梯) 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” everyday. 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 does what 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 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.

【題目】In 1997, I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in: alone and begging for money in New York. My father had been separated from our family, and my mother had recently died from complications related to AIDS. What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.

Even though I had lost my family, I made choices every single day to turn my life around. There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door, a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance, medical care and food, all of which kept me going while I completed my homework in train stations and under hallway lights. Perhaps the most surprising help though, I did not seek out it found me. The New York Times told my story. In the weeks that followed, dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States. At my high school, I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement. Strangers showed up bearing clothes, books, and even hugs. Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard, one woman knitted a blanket for me. She attached this note to the box it was posted in: "It gets cold in those dorms. May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".

With the help of these people, my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then. I graduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.

Before these people — some of them nameless — I just didn't realize how good people could be. But now I do, and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me. They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers. They are the reason I dedicate my life to opening pathways for others. And they are the reason I travel around the world helping people transform their own lives.

【1】According to the passage, the author ________.

A. tried to change her life

B. often slept in friends’ homes

C. felt lonely because of her illness

D. felt quite desperate for her father

【2】What can we learn about the Door?

A. It is an organization helping homeless teenagers.

B. It is an organization seeking profits.

C. It provides entertainment for children.

D. It reports the stories about the homeless.

【3】Which of the following is the correct order to describe the author's life?

a. The newspaper reported her story.

b. She graduated from Harvard University.

c. She slept on the cold floor at night.

d. She joined the committee at the Door.

e. Her mother died from the illness.

A. d→e→c→a→b B. e→c→d→a→b

C. e→c→a→b→d D. b→c→d→e→a

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Patience is a virtue.

B. Love can be passed on.

C. Time waits for no man.

D. Honesty leads to success.
