Silence Please
If there is one group of workers across the Western world who will be glad that Christmas is over, that group is shop workers.
It is not that they like to complain. They realize that they are going to be rushed off their feet at Christmas. They know that their employers need happy customers to make their profits that pay their wages. But there is one thing about working in a shop over Christmas that is too bad to tolerate.
That thing is music. These days, all shops and many offices have what is known as "Piped music" or "muzak" playing for all the hours that they are open. Muzak has an odd history. During the 1940s, music was played to cows as part of a scientific experiment. It was found that cows which listened to simple, happy music produced more milk. Perhaps workers and customers who listened to simple, happy music would be more productive and spend more money.
In fact, nobody knows what effect playing muzak in shops has on profits. It is simply something that everybody does. But we are learning more about the effect of constantly repeated hearings of songs on the people who have to hear them all the time.
Research shows that repeated hearings of complex pieces of music bring greater enjoyment before becoming tiresome. And that point come much sooner with simple songs.
"That's especially the case with tunes that are already familiar. Once that tipping point3 is reached, repeated listening become unpleasant, says Professor John Sloboda of UK's Keele University's music psychology group. "And the less control you have over what you hear, the less you like it.
That's why police forces in the US often try and resolve hostage situations by playing pop songs over and over again at high volume. Eventually, it becomes too much for the criminals to stand and they give up.
The problem gets particularly bad at Christmas, when the muzak consists entirely of the same few festive tunes played over and over again. What makes it worse for the shop workers is that they already know these runes. They get bored very quickly. Then they get irritated. Then they get angry.
Shop workers in Austria recently threatened to go on strike for the right to silence. "Shop workers can't escape the Christmas muzak. They feel as if they are terrorized all day. Especially 'Jingle Bells'. It arouses aggressive feelings," said Gottfried Rieser, of the Austrian shop worker's union.
It is not just shop workers who complain. A survey this year by UK recruitment website Retailchoice. com found that Christmas is not only the most testing time for shop workers, but that almost half had complaints from customers about muzak. And the British Royal National Institute for the Deaf estimates that some stores play Jingle Bells 300 times each year.
"That's acoustic torture, says Nigel Rodgers of Pipedown. A group against muzak. "It's not loud but the repetitive nature causes psychological stress. "
The group wants the government to legislate against unwanted music in stores, hospitals, airports, swimming pools and other public places, claiming it raises the blood pressure and depresses the immune system.
Perhaps groups like Pipedown don't really have much to complain about. After all, surely the real point is that people have money to spend. Why complain about a bit of music？
The shop workers in the Western world are glad when Christmas is over because they don't have to
A．rush their feet off all day.
B．listen to the music playing all the time in the shop.
C．work overtime to make more profits for the boss.
D．try to please the customers.

Things to Know about the UK
1. From Buckingham Palace to Oxford， the UK is loaded with wonderful icons （标志） of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. It"s now better known for vibrant （充满活力的） cities with great nightlife and attraction. Fashions， fine dining， clubbing， shopping-the UK is among the world"s best.
2. Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you"re one of these people， you"d be wise to abandon those ideas. Visit a nightclub in one of the big cities， a football match， or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It"s certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers， sports supporters， pet owners and gardeners than the UK.
3. Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget （廉价的 ） airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route， coaches are more expensive （though quicker ） than buses. London"s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors， with freelance （个体的 ） drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London"s underground is called the Tube. It"s very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.
4. The UK is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon， sausages， fried eggs， black pudding， fried tomatoes， fried bread and baked beans， with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherd"s pie and Yorkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.
5. Pubbing and clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife， especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends， having drinks， and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub， or a place of music， or a bar， or any other places to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing， such as no jeans， no sportswear， or smart clubwear， while pubbing is much more casual.
