【答案解析】[听力原文] 26-28
If there is one group of workers who will be glad that Christmas is over, that group is shop workers.
It is not that they don't like the holiday, but that the endless music has been played too loudly and repeatedly in shopping centers.
Perhaps simple, happy music would invite customers to spend more money. But research shows that repeated hearings of music will make people tiresome. And that feeling comes much sooner with simple songs.
The problem gets particularly bad at Christmas, when the music in most public areas are almost the same. The shop workers get bored very quickly. Then they get angry.
Shop workers in Austria once threatened to go on strike for the right to silence.
It is not just shop workers who complain. A survey by a British organization found that Christmas is not only the testing time for shop workers, but also the customers. It is found that some stores play Jingle Bells 300 times each year.
The organization wants the government to pass laws against unwanted music in stores, hospitals, airports, swimming pools and other public places.
26. Why will shop workers be glad when Christmas is over?
