11、 of Christmas shopping, the songs also have a more delicate impact.“Background music, or “Muzak”, can be used by marketers to impose cultures -such as the commercialization of Christmas- onto consumers and influence their behaviour,” experts said.Dr. Alan Bradshaw of Royal Holloway, University of Lo
12、ndon, said, “Festive jingles are force-fed to Christmas shoppers in a bid to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy. In other words, this is an attempt to control your shopping habits in a way that you might hardly be aware of.”“Often we are told that we
13、have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but during Christmas the use of music in this way is so common that our freedom to choose disappears.”Dr. Bradshaw and Prof Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often “dumb down” the music played in
14、shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier to control their behaviour.It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore spend more time examining the shelves, for example.Some providers of background music have been

He liked being at
34、Reed, just not taking the required classes. In fact, he was surprised when he found out that there were strict course requirements. When Wozniak came to visit, Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained, “They are making me take all these courses.” Wozniak replied, “Yes, thats what they do in col
35、lege.” Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted, such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls. “I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to, thats a difference in our personality.”
36、said Wozniak surprisedly and admiringly.Jobs also began to feel guilty about spending so much of his parents money on an education that did not seem worthwhile. “All of my working-class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition (学费).” he detailed his experience in a famous ceremony addr
37、ess at Stanford. “I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.He didnt actually want to l

Surprisingly, Reed tolerated that. “He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive,” said the dean of students, Jack Dudman. “He refused to accept automatically received truths, and he wanted to
39、examine everything himself.” Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition.“The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting,” he said.

It was beauti
41、ful, historical, artistically fine in a way that science cant capture, and I found it fascinating.”It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection (相交点) of the arts and technology. In all of his products, technology would be married to great design, elegance, h
42、uman touches, and even romance. “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had so many typefaces. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them.”Meanwhile Jobs had a hard time at Reed. He went barefoot most of t
43、he time, wearing sandals when it snowed. Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him, trying to keep up with his obsessive diets. He returned soda bottles for spare change, continued his long hard journeys to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare Krishna temple, and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage a
