5 . 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.

6 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

So far, the Internet     1    （bring） us great convenience. To a certain extent, we can hardly live without it.     2    , it also raises all sorts of questions: when surfing the Internet, how can we protect ourselves? How can we use the Internet     3    （responsible）?   The following guidelines may show you how to live in the digital world.

Above all else, you should use the Internet in a safe way. You must always be careful about which sites     4     （trust）. One wrong click may damage your computer and remove all your computer files! Therefore, before visiting a web page, always check for signs that warn people of danger. Another tip is to keep your personal information private,     5    （include）your phone number, address and email account.

You also need to show respect when communicating with other online users. Leave     6    （comment）politely and treat others     7     way you would like to be treated. Though the majority of online users     8     （be）nice and friendly, there might be some users who make you feel     9     （comfort）online. In such cases, be aware that you always have the right to say no and cut off contact. Remember that relationships you establish in the digital world are just the same     10     those you have in real life.

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?     1     There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.

Do your homework.     2     Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit？You’d better check it out.

    3     Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.

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.     4     This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

And here’s the big one — good manners are nearly universal.     5     If that doesn’t sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.

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 . Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening,I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops.I stopped to watch it for a few moments,thinking about what a pity it was that most city people,myself included,usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it.He grew up living in a forest in Europe,and the moon meant a lot to him then.It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling.Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends.We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or hot water.Our group had campfires outside every night,and indoors when it was too cold outside.The moon grew to its fullest during our trip.Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys.Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard.It was one of the quietest places I had ever known,a bottomless well of silence.And above me was the full moon,which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass,metal,plastic and fibre-glass.We have televisions,cellphones,heaters,ovens,air-conditioners,cars and computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day,most of it spent indoors,I thought:before long,I would like to live in a small cottage.There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains.I may become an old man there,and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons.But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
