We hear music everywhere, every day. Getting into a lift, going around a supermarket or simply relaxing at home, music is our constant companion. And music can have a significant effect on the way we think and feel, so it's worth paying attention to what we're listening to.
Music can have a powerful effect on our moods, in terms of both reducing and increasing stress. Listening to calm gentle music in bed can help us fall asleep. Some airlines play smooth music on board at take-off and landing to calm nervous travelers. Athletes often listen to fast loud music to help them prepare for games. The American swimmer Michael Phelps is known to listen to rap music before important races to help pump him up(给某人打气).
The mood-altering effect of music can be especially acute for the people who actually play the music. Musicians who do not have high self-esteem (自尊心) can suddenly overflow with confidence once they go on stage. It's as though the music gives them a different personality.
And it's not only those who feel ill at ease with themselves that can benefit. Scientists have conducted research into the effect of music on students studying for exams. They found that listening to calm music with a regular beat could actually help students recall facts and improve their performance in exams. Classical music, preferably something by Mozart, seems to have the most beneficial effect. A word of caution, however: It's best not to over-rely on this method, as you won't be able to listen to music in an exam.
For most of us though, music is one of life's great pleasures. And it's a pleasure that endures. Researchers have found that we don't often grow out of the music that we love as teenagers, because our musical tastes are such a huge part of our identity, personality and outlook on life. So don't delete those songs you downloaded when you were fifteen—you'll probably still love them when you're fifty.

It's common that you dine out with background music filling the restaurant. Today, mealtime music has become so popular that we ignore how listening to music affects our dining experience. 1
People eat on beats. Just as listening to fast music while exercising tends to make people run faster, studies have shown that fast tunes actually make diners eat faster. 2 They play songs with fast music during the busy lunch rush and select more relaxing songs when there are plenty of open tables.
Music changes the concept of time. 3 Studies have shown that playing classical music during eating can help people lose track of time in the most effective way. Playing familiar songs, on the other hand, actually helps people judge how long they've been staying.
Music influences behavior. Studies have proved that music can influence the behavior of listeners. 4 In contrast, quiet and relaxing music inspires polite talks and creates a more romantic atmosphere.
Music changes how food tastes. Research has indicated that the sound and frequency play a big role in how our brain reacts to the taste. 5 High frequencies add to sweetness while low frequencies increase bitterness. And loud background noise has the tendency to decrease the overall enjoyment of food.
A.Time flies when you're having fun.
B.Many restaurateurs have used this research to control the pace as needed.
