The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear?(1)It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator(电梯)music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. (2)
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? (3)
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. (4)Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. (5)They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

The NorthIslandand the South Island make up most of New Zealand's 268,000 sq km, an area similar to that of the United Kingdom. Its has a coastline 10,000 kmlong and no inland locality is more than 110 kmfrom the sea.
New Zealand is full of every kind of physiognomy (地形,地貌), but is especially for the fact that about three-quarters of the country lies more than 200 meters above sea level. Much of the North Island's shape has been created by volcanic activity. The country lies across the "mobile" belt of the earth's crust which circles the Pacific Ocean. This represents the shape of the land by features all common to the New Zealand landscape — volcanoes, hot springs, mountain chains and active fault lines.
The centre of theNorthIsland is crowned by mildly active volcanoes reaching a height of2,797m onMountRuapehu. New Zealand's famous thermal (温泉的) region runs northeast from here, through the country's largest lake, Taupo, and Rotorua to White Island in the Bay of Plenty. It is the centre point of the500 km longSouthern Alps, a wild region of spectacular alpine peaks, lakes and remote "sounds". Beyond the mountain areas lie extensive rolling downlands in regions such as South Canterbury in the south andHawkesBay in the north.
