　　昨天你去哪了?你听到这些地方的音乐吗?有一个很好的改变,你没有.今天,大多数商店和餐厅播放音乐.你甚至可以在办公室或听到一个农家乐.

　　科学家认为,音乐影响人们的行为.根据一些科学家,西方古典音乐（莫扎特,巴赫）的声音使人感到更加富裕.当餐厅演奏古典音乐,人们花费在食物和饮料更多的钱.当餐馆播放现代音乐,人们花更少的钱.没有背景音乐,人们花费更少.

　　科学家们还认为,大声,快节奏的音乐让人们吃更快.实际上人们咀嚼食物时更快的音乐变快.有些餐馆在繁忙时间播放快节奏的音乐.这让人们吃的快,赶快离开.餐馆可以赚更多的钱这种方式.

　　一些科学家认为,音乐让你更好地思考和学习.他们说,音乐可以帮助学生提高警觉.诚然,人们学得更好时,心情很轻松.而听音乐能帮助你放松.

　　下次你听到音乐的地方,要小心.它可能改变你的行为举止.
