两位学生Jeannie和Dan讨论Jeannie关于音乐对消费者行为影响的研究。她观察了五家餐厅播放音乐的方式，发现都有专门播放音乐的区域且音量不变，还发放问卷了解顾客就餐频率、同行人数及是否再来，并设置干扰题避免被试察觉研究真实目的。
答案：the effect of music on consumers
原文定位：I know the research is to do with music, but what is it exactly about? Well, at first I didn't have a specific purpose until one day I read a report that said if appropriate music is played while people are eating, it may cause some changes in their behavior. But the report didn't illustrate the changes in detail. So I wanted to carry out a thorough investigation into this
同义替换：「topic of the research」↔「what is it exactly about」，「the effect of music on consumers」↔「may cause some changes in their behavior」
答案：the music is played at a uniform volume level
原文定位：Findings of my observations indicate that the five restaurants have something in common. They all have a special section to play the music. More importantly, although the music is played at different times, the volume is unchanged
同义替换：「research finds out」↔「Findings of my observations」，「at a uniform volume level」↔「unchanged」
答案：to disguise the purpose of the survey
原文定位：These early questions don't involve musical preferences, but largely act as distractors. The intention being that subjects will be less inclined to think that the survey is about the music being played
同义替换：「first few questions」↔「early questions」，「to disguise the purpose of the survey」↔「act as distractors」
答案：a previous study
原文定位：Actually, no. I read an assignment a student wrote last year which was just kept beside a dictionary in the library. I came across it when I was looking something up in the dictionary
同义替换：「a previous study」↔「an assignment a student wrote last year」
答案：competitors nearby,seat capacity
原文定位：While the majority of respondents think whether they will pick this restaurant depends on how many available seats it has;What I find interesting, however, is that a large percentage of people say they will compare different restaurants in the neighborhood on the Internet first. If one of them stands out from its rivals, they will choose it
同义替换：「seat capacity」↔「how many available seats it has」，「competitors nearby」↔「compare different restaurants in the neighborhood」，「main reasons for choosing a restaurant」↔「why they choose to dine at a particular restaurant」
答案：people don`t think the restaurant is worth the price
原文定位：The result shows that music has become an indispensable part of restaurants. If people find there isn't any music during the meal, they will think the restaurant charges too much
同义替换：「don`t think the restaurant is worth the price」↔「think the restaurant charges too much」，「no music」↔「there isn't any music」
答案：people will spend more money in the restaurant
原文定位：Most people think that if jazz is being played when eating, they tend to stay at the restaurant longer and order more food to enjoy the music
同义替换：「jazz」↔「jazz」
答案：people don`t like the restaurant at all
原文定位：Many customers think if the restaurant plays classical music, they wouldn't like to stay there for another minute, but to finish the food quickly and hurry away because they don't like this type of music at all
同义替换：「classical music」↔「classical music」，「attitude toward the following music」↔「Many customers think」，「people will leave the restaurant right after eating」↔「finish the food quickly and hurry away」
答案：people will come back again
原文定位：And lastly, about pop music;they like listening to this type of music during their meals. As a result, this greatly increases the possibility of their presence at the same restaurant
同义替换：「people will come back again」↔「increases the possibility of their presence at the same restaurant」，「pop music」↔「pop music」
