Why do they use it？Well，because they want to make customers stay longer.Then customers may buy some goods if they stay longer.In fact，some background music is soft and gentle.However，some background music is too loud.Many shoppers say that they don't l ike any background music.When the music is being played，they may get angry at it and they will walk out of the shop as soon as they hear it. According to a survey，three quarters of shoppers notice the background music when they go into a store.If they like the background music，they will stay longer as a result.They say they will come to the store again.However， fifty percent of shoppers will leave the shop because they don't like the background music.They even say that they will be less likely to return to the store. It seems that s tores should choose a suitable “sound” for their customers.According to the survey，the suitable background music is a very effective (有效的) way to attract (吸引) more customers' attention. So it is wise of stores and restaurants to be more careful with their background music.Some restaurant owners even say that background music is more important than the problem of taste.

D B There was once a King and he wanted to find out who could paint the best picture of peace. And he would offer a prize to the artist. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged (崎岖的) and bare (无遮蔽的). Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush (矮树 丛) growing in a crack (裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest (巢，窝). There, she sat on her nest... in perfect peace. Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. “Because，” said the King, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace_means_to_be_in_the_middle_of_all_those_things_and_still_be_calm_i n_your_heart. That is the real meaning of peace.” 16．What did the King want the artists to do?
