25、Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)
Every year, many foreign students go to America to study English. Some of them will live in an American family, but others will make a different decision. They’ll live with friends who come from their own country. I believe that if a foreign student thinks carefully about the two ways, he’ll decide to live with an American family. Even though there are one or two disadvantages (不利之处) to the first way, there are far more advantages.
In making his decision about how to live in the USA, the foreign student is careful to think about one or two disadvantages to live with an American family. First of all, he must know that he’s going to feel homesick (想家的) at first. Living in an American family may make this feeling become stronger. Also, the American family may do too much to take care of him. They may ask him where he’s going, when he leaves home, and when he’ll return.
If a foreign student lives in an American home, he’ll know the country and its people much better. For example, he’ll see how the parents teach their children. He’ll feel better because the American family will help him get used to a new life. In an American family, he can learn English fast. Family members can help him with his homework. When he speaks English, they can help him correct the mistakes he has made. In this way, he can learn English more easily.
Although there are some disadvantages to live in an American family, there are more advantages.
【1】Many students go to America ________ every year.
A．to visit

26、Why Music Isn’t for Everyone?
They say music is universal, and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.
But according to a recent study published in the journal Current Biology, music doesn’t speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia (音乐快感丧失)”. They say that those who have this condition lack the ability to experience pleasure from music.
For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction, which are considered physiological (生理的) measures of emotion.
According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweated (出汗) more. However, a small number had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they listened. These people had none or very few of the physical signs the others in the study experienced.
The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people who specifically can’t enjoy music at all”, study author Josep Marco-Pallares of the University of Barcelona in Spain told Live Science.
To study the condition further, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow (血流量) to the reward system in the brain.
“People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when listening to music,” reported the Daily Mail.
The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brain’s “reward system” will be inactive. Thus, it will release（释放） less of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine (多巴胺). As a result, people get less pleasure from music.
If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just don’t get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tune (曲调) isn’t one of them.
【1】What do we know about people with “musical anhedonia”?
A．They usually avoid listening to music.
B．They like to listen to certain types of music.
C．They believe cultural differences are larger than music.
D．They can’t feel the pleasure that music brings to others.
【2】What was the purpose of the study?
A．To learn what music people love most.
B．To learn how music influences people’s emotions.
C．To see whether music works in the same way for all people.
D．To understand the relationship between music and the body.
【3】What happened to the participants when they listened to music?
A．All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more.
B．People who enjoyed music had more dopamine released.
C．They showed different physical signs as the music changed.
D．People who got less pleasure from music had higher blood flow.
