THE VIRTUAL CHOIR

Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone.You can do this in a virtual choir.Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video.These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir.Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection.You do not even need a studio.A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together.Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music.Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir.A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community.It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people.As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to...forget my problems.With music, I become someone else.”

Ⅳ.阅读理解

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 business—thanks 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 opportunities 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 uptempo 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。不同的背景音乐可以产生不同的效果。

1.Background music means ________.

A.light music that customers enjoy most

B.fast music that makes people move fast

C.slow music that can make customers enjoy their meals

D.the music you are listening to while you are doing something

2.Restaurant owners complain about slow music because ________.

A.it results in indigestion

B.it increases their sales

C.it keeps customers moving

3.We can know from the text that ________.

A.background music was first used in big department stores

B.proper music can increase the selling of goods

C.light music has a bad effect on production

D.restaurant owners had better play slow music to comfort their customers
