8 . How to Be a Good Tourist
We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. Restaurants, galleries, temples and architecture...These places are like homes for people who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home?
Do your homework.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows.
And here’s the big one — good manners are nearly universal.
A.Experience the place. |
B.Always have a cloth bag with you. |
C.Read about the places you want to visit. |
D.Try to buy something from the local stores. |
E.A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive. |
F.We’ve cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories. |
G.I think we would like them to make it a little better because of their visit. |
9 . Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear?
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.
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?
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.
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. |
