We know music is very important in our daily life. Do you notice music playing at any of those places when you go somewhere? Today most stores, stations, restaurants and other places play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.
Scientists believe that music influences（影响） the way people behave（表现）. They think that the sound of western classical(古典) music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without music, people spend even less.
Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their busy hours. This makes people eat faster and leave 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. 31．According to the text, scientists believe that music can .

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on(取决于)ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are some ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret is to be active, and have hobbies that make you forget your problems and time. Many people dance or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
36．The second paragraph tells us that________. A．we shouldn’t think about our future.
B．some people fail to live a happy life.
C．happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. D．the more friends you have, the happier you. 37．The writer thinks that ________. A．everyone knows how to live a happier life B．it’s wrong to spend time on work C．people spent too much time on hobbies
D．doing good things for someone can make you happier
38．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A．Happiness is always around us in some small things. B．People are able to find and make their own happiness.
C．Money and success will never bring people happiness. D．An active person who enjoy simple life must be happy. 39．The passage mainly tells us________. A．how to enjoy happy life with your family C．some secrets of finding true happiness
B．we can find happiness by helping others D．most people know how to be happy
40．Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A．Reading a good book. C．Playing a sport.
