  • 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.

    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.

  • 2．The Torch Festival （火把節(jié)） is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China，such as the Yi，Bai，Hani，Lisu，and Lahu，etc.It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June，with three days of celebrations.The festival came from worship （崇拜） of fire by ancestors （祖先）.For some ethnic groups，it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
       During the festival，big torches are made to stand in all villages，with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls，the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time，people walk around the fields and houses，holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages，young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
       In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan，torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings.When the strings are broken after the torches are lit，people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
