Canada Day is the year's biggest national party．In many towns and cities，the government organizes a lot of events，often outdoors．These include parades（游行），concerts，festivals，firework displays and ceremonies for new Canadian citizens（公民）．The celebrations often have a patriotic mood．Canada's national flag，a symbol for Canada Day，can be seen everywhere and a lot of people paint their faces red and white，which are Canada's national colors．The celebrations in Ottawa，Canada's capital city，are especially grand and exciting．
In the province of Quebec，many home rentals（租赁）start on July 1st and last for exactly one year，and many people in Quebec spend Canada Day moving from one house to another．So in Quebec，Canada Day is also known as Moving Day．

4．Music always interests us．But do you like music that is mainly used in stores？People call it "background music"．Recorded background music first found its way in factories，shops and restaurants in the US，but it soon spread to other parts of the world．Now many stores like to play this kind of music．
Why do they use it？Well，because they want to make customers stay longer．Then customers may buy some goods if they stay longer．In fact，some background music is soft and gentle．However，some background music is too loud．Many shoppers say that they don't like any background music．When the music is being played，they may get angry at it and they will walk out of the shop as soon as they hear it．
According to a survey，three quarters of shoppers notice the background music when they go into a store．If they like the background music，they will stay longer as a result．They say they will come to the store again．However，fifty percent of shoppers will leave the shop because they don't like the background music．They even say that they will be less likely to return to the store．
It seems that stores should choose a suitable "sound" for their customers．According to the survey，the suitable background music is a very effective （有效的） way to attract （吸引） more customer's attention．
So it is wise of stores and restaurants to be more careful with their background music．Some restaurant owners even say that background music is more important than the problem of taste．
