Passage 2 Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions,thoughts,and words of young people. This influence,known as peer pressure,is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do,think,or say? Most of us,children included,feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them,we act like our friends,and listen to their advice,whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends,sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs,but frequently peer pressure is too great.

Passage 3 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 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(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But,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 opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet,slow music isn.t always 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 up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course,the resulting indigestion leads to complaints! 41.

[ A、 ] it can help to have more meals B、 ] it can boost sales in all places [ C、 ] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere [ D、 ] it is harmless everywhere [
