Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.
To begin with, “muzak”(音乐广播网) was intended simply to create a soothing (安慰) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's become big business­thanks in part to recent research. Dr.Ronald Milliman，an American marketing expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.
However，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. Dr. Milliman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up tempo music to keep the customers moving －unless of course, the resulting indigestion (消化不良) leads to complaints!
【语篇解读】背景音乐作为一种常见的音乐形式，已经渗透到人们生活的方方面面。

More Americans are Googling themselves－and many are checking out their friends, co­workers and romantic interests, too.
In a report, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 47 percent of U．S. adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine.
That is more than twice the 22 percent of users who did in 2002, but Pew senior research specialist Mary Madden was surprised the growth wasn't higher.
“Yes, it's doubled, but it's still the case that there's a big chunk of Internet users who have never done this simple act of plugging their name with search engines，”she said.
Americans under 50 and those with more education and income were more likely to self­Google－in some case because their jobs demand a certain online persona.
Meanwhile, Pew found that 53 percent of adult Internet users admit to looking up information about someone else, not including celebrities (名人)．Often, it's to find someone they have lost touch with.But looking up information about friends, relatives, colleagues and neighbours was also common.
Although men and women equally searched for online information about themselves, women were slightly more likely to look up information about someone they are dating.
In many cases, the search is done to find someone's contact information.But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records, such as bankruptcies (破产) and divorce (离婚) proceedings.A similar number have searched for someone else's photo.
Few Internet users say they Google themselves regularly－about three­quarters of self­searchers say they have done so only once or twice.And most who have done so consider what they find accurate.
Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to restrict (限制) who can see their information at an online hangout (常去之处) like Facebook or News Corp's MySpace.
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍美国成年人通过谷歌搜索引擎查找自己信息的人数比2002增加一倍，但尽管如此，有关研究人士认为这个增长并不是太高。
