Question

    We know music is very important in our daily life. Today most stores, restaurants and other places play music. Do you notice music played at any of those places when you go somewhere? You might even hear music on a farm or in an office.

Scientists believe that music influences the way people behave. They think that the sound of western classical music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people would spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people would spend less money. Without music, people would spend even less.

Scientists also believe that loud and fast music makes people eat faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their busy hours. This makes people eat faster and leave more quickly. Restaurants can make more money in this way.

Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more active. It is true that people learn better when they are relaxed. And listening to music can help you relax.

The next time you hear music somewhere, be careful. It might influence the way you do things.
