Reading Comprehension: Muzak

“MUZAK”

 “One moment, please.” As your telephone call is put on hold, music suddenly swells through the receiver. Muzak, “the background music “ so familiar to us today in public places as well as on the telephone, was invented by General George Squier in 1922. It was originally designed to increase productivity in the workplace but is has also had other purposes; for example, in the 1920s , Muzak was introduced into the lifts of skyscrapers to calm the passengers. But, can background music control behaviour as well as feelings? Psychology Proffesor Adrian North conducted a study to discover if this music could influence customers’ choices. His team arranged for a supermarket to play French accordion and German brass-band music at different times to see if this affected the sale of wines from these countries. The wines were clearly labelled and identified by country name and flag to avoid confusion, and the prices of the wines were comparable. After two weeks, the results were clear. When the German music was broadcast, 73% of the wine sold was German. Conversely, when the French music was aired, 77% of the wine sold was French. Most of the customers interviewed after doing their shoppings insisted that they had no preference for either country’s wine.

Reading comprehension: Travelling

TRAVELLING

 The government has recently presented its plans for air travel. It wants to make the two London airports bigger. Some people have already started complaining. They say that planes already make too much noise and cause too much pollution. They also say that the air travel is very cheap and easy. They think that the government should make air travel more expensive and stop people travelling by plane.

Of course there are problems with air travel but there are also so many good things about it.

My grandparents never went abroad and they didn’t know much about the rest of the world. They thought that the north of England was a foreign country. My life is very, very different. I work for a German company, so I often need to travel to Germany, I live with my Argentinean wife, and we go to Japanese, Italian, Spanish restaurants. We watch films from all over the world. We speak three different languages.

 Long ago it took days to travel from Europe to America and only rich people could travel, but now things have changed a lot. You can find very cheap tickets in the Internet. We sometimes go to Holland to spend the weekend –or France or Spain.
