Some of us even begin to think likeour friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values.

Recorded background music first found its way into factories ，shopsand restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now itis becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listeningto music.To begin with，muzak（音乐广播网）was intended simply to create a soothingatmosphere. Recently，however，its become big business - thanks in part to recentresearch.

A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slowmusic can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down andhave more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isnt alwaysanswer. found，for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers tooklonger to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners mightbe well advised to play up-tempo musicup-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless ofcourse，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints！41.
