W: Howard, what are you working on now?
M: I have just finished a piece on the background music.
W: Background music? Oh, like the music they’re playing here now.
M: Yes. You can hear it everywhere-- in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores and so on. It’s supposed to influence your attitudes, put you in the right mood.
W: I am not sure I like that idea.
M: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It’s supposed 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 production 4.5 percent.
W: I should think they’d get tired of hearing music all day.
M: They don’t, though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."
W: Now that I think about it, I can’t remember when there wasn’t background music in restaurants and stores.
M: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War Ⅱ when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now different kinds of music are playing at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.
W: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?
M: I don’t know about that, but I do 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-minutes before that.
选项
A、Because they want to make the attendants work faster.
B、Because they think fast music can make people eat more.
C、Because hamburgers will become more popular by this way.
D、Because they hope customers will spend less time on eating than before.
答案
D
解析
本题问“为什么卖汉堡的地方通常撂放快节奏的背景音乐?”文中提到,当他们刚开始播放节奏快的背景音乐时,他们发现顾客吃东西只花17分钟,而以前却要用20分钟。由此可见,他们播放节奏快的背景音乐是为了让顾客吃饭时少花点时间。故[D]“因为他们希望顾客吃饭时比以前少花点时间”正确。
