Muzak

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”

everyday. 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 - 3 - 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.
