Another expression used by American business people is \Finally the president of the company said \

movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars or in airplanes or on foot. \director means stopping filming to leave some material and getting to the chase scene now.

Passage 2

Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.

To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing（ 舒适的 ） atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increasefactory production by as much as a third.

But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts （ 收入 ） by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to

buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the

customers moving － unless, of course, the resulting indigestion （ 消化不良 ） leads to complaints. 26. ______________________________________ Background music was first used

Passage 3

In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope（ introduced

a new calendar （日历） to the Christian world, and the new year fell on January first.
