完形填空。
I love music, but we hear too much of it in today's society. I mean, have you tried  1  an insurance
company lately? If you are kept  2 , you'll be forced to   3  some country or easy-listening type drivel
(废话). Call your doctor's office, and the same thing  4   . How many times do you want to hear Eine
Kleine Nacht's  5  in the daytime or "Winter" from Vivadi's Four Seasons in the spring?  6  , I've
always thought that Handel's music was  7  and Vivadi's music was dull next to Handel's.
I don't know how all this force-fed music got  8   . I suppose it was the background music in
elevators. A few years ago, the governor of Georgia got the  9  that classical music was good for a
  10  brain development. He actually got the legislature to appropriate (拨专款) enough money to give
every new mother a  11  music tape to take home with her. And you know  12 was probably on it?
Eine Kleine Nacht's music and "Winter". I'll bet that those  13  have done more to make babies  14  
classical music than all the music appreciation  15 ever taught.
And how about when you make a business call from you  16  and are forced to hear music while
you have to wait to be  17  ? You can't put the call on speakerphone, because the 18 would disturb
the people around you, 19 you're just left there holding the phone. You can't 20 , because the music is
blasting in your ear. I love music-but enough is enough.
