Howard is probably ______. [br]
Lisa: Hi, Howard. What are you working on?
Howard: Hi, Lisa. (5[D]) I’ve just finished a piece of background music.
Lisa: Background music? Oh, like the music they’re playing here now.
Howard: Yes. You hear it everywhere — in restaurants, airports, supermarkets...
Lisa: In banks too. I noticed it while at the bank today.
Howard: You’re not supposed to notice it. (8[D]) It’s just in the background. It’ supposed to put you in the right mood.
Lisa: I’m not sure I like that idea.
Howard: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. (6[A])Wssupposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot.It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased roduction 4.5 percent.
Lisa: Now that I think about it, I can’t remember when there wasn’t background music in restaurants and stores.
Howard: Yeah, I know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-two minutes before that.
Lisa: (7[C]) So they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.
Howard: Exactly. And that’s good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles, for instance, thirty different companies are selling background music services.
Lisa: I still think there’s something about it that I don’t quite like.
Howard: I know what you mean, but lots of people would not agree with you.
选项
A、they think that will make the attendants work faster
B、they believe fast music can make people eat more
C、it shortens eating time to allow more customers coming and going
D、hamburgers will become more popular
答案
C
解析
推理题;对话中霍华德说:他们开始播放较快速的音乐时,发现一位顾客只花了十七分钟就吃完了。在此之前需要花二十二分钟才能吃完。丽莎从中得出了结论:于是进出买汉堡的人就更多了(more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers)。而选项C正是两个人这部分谈话的总结。
