Want to experience an English village ？Ensure to look out for morris dancing.It is a folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century.
    Men and women wearing old-fashioned clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they bash（敲擊） against each other while they dance.Other groups wave handkerchiefs（手帕） in the air when they perform.The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when they are over，the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer.The festivities will often continue long into the night，by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again!
    Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it's facing a big crisis（危機）.As the years go by fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups.The dancers are getting older and older and if nothing is done to change this trend，the tradition will die out within the next few decades.
    If you've ever had the fortune to see morris dancing，you may understand why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up.Putting it clearly，it's not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing!Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could be going clubbing？Or playing sport？O doing anything else？
    However，it would be a great shame to lose such a fun part of England's history and culture.It's important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it's something as harmless and happy as morris dancing.So here's a toast（祝酒）to the next generation of would-be morris dancers!

1．Has the volume in a restaurant ever made you finish your meal early？If so，you're not alone.Restaurants handle diners in various ways to influence food choices and consumption，from lighting to menu to server presentation.Unfortunately for those headache-prone restaurant goers，some places also choose to turn up the tunes and the background noise.
   Chef Mario Batali is often blamed for the phenomenon of very loud or noisy restaurants in the 1990s，when he decided to flood the dining room with the same loud tunes he was playing in his kitchen.And other chefs followed suit.Some restaurateurs felt a "livelier" atmosphere encouraged more customers to dine there，and a side "benefit" was quicker table turnover，thus increasing the number of people who could dine in a specific evening.
   A 1985 study out of Fairfield University looked at how chewing speed varied according to the type of music being played.Although the volume level was kept the same for both musical situations，it's important to note that fast-tempo（節(jié)奏）music often gives the impression of being louder than slower music.
   "A significant increase in the number of bites per minute was found，and the effect was largest for fast music"，the researchers wrote in the study.So，the faster，louder music gets people to down their food more quickly，relieving the table for future customers.
   There are opinions about whether or not this is a sound practice."A restaurant that places profit above dining experience often plays loud music with a fast tempo that puts diners under pressure to eat more quickly，even if that means they're less able to enjoy their meal"，writes Dr.Neel Burton in Psychology Today，adding that loud，fast music reduces appetite.
   What's more，some would-be repeat diners will shy away for fear of another very loud meal.The non-profit group Action on Hearing Loss found in a 2016 survey of nearly 1，500 people that 91% of those who view a restaurant as too noisy would choose not to return.

（1）Why did some bosses of the restaurants favour loud music？

A．It could increase the popularity of their chefs.
B．It was the favorite kind of music of them.
C．It made the restaurants softer and sweeter.
D．It might help attract more customers.
（2）What plays the most important role in the effect of music on diners according to the passage？

A．Its content.
B．Its speed.
C．Its length.
D．Its quality.
（3）What is Dr.Neel Burton's attitude towards flooding restaurants with noisy music？

A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Disapproving.
D．Objective.
（4）What could be a suitable tile for the text？

A．What People Think of Loud Restaurants？
B．Are Customers to Blame？
C．How Restaurants Improve Themselves？
D．Does Loud Music Really Benefit Restaurants？
