You probably think the music that your parents like is old and boring, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. 【1】 So it is likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar way to your parents’.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge got data (数据) from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years. 【2】 There are three musical periods (时期): “exciting”, “popular” and “sophisticated (高雅时髦的)”.
The first period comes in the teenage years. 【3】 But as people move into early adulthood, they hope to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of popular music, such as pop and R&B, which are usually danceable. When middle age comes, things have settled down (安定下来) for most people. 【4】 For example, they prefer jazz and classical music, as well as catchy music like country music and blues. Because they need relaxing and emotive (激起感情的) music under the strong pressure of life.

Dear Editor, My sister Becky keeps singing a song to me, though she knows I don’t like it. She even tells her friends to sing it to me! It really makes me angry. Dale Dear Dale, Your sister seems to think it’s fun to make you angry, and the way you react (反应) may add to her fun. You could try to ask your sister nicely to stop. Anytime she sings it in the future, don’t react or get angry. If you need to, leave the room. When you don’t react, she may become bored and stop singing. Your parents may have advice on how to deal with this, too. Editor |

What they are really asking is, “What interests you now?” The next time someone asks what you want to be, you could say something like “Today I think I’d like to be a writer or an artist. But ask me tomorrow, and I may change my mind”. Editor |

27、Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.
Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions,they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.
Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains,but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages,and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons weretriggeredas when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).
Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.
Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well, perhaps you’ll understand why.
【1】【1】Mirror neurons can explain ______.
A. why we cry when we are hurt
B. why we cough when we catch a cold
C. why we smile when we see someone else smile
D. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late
【2】【2】The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. set off B. cut off
C. broken out D. found out
【3】【3】We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.
A. relate to human behavior and communication
B. decide our knowledge and language abilities
C. result in bad behavior and social disorders
D. control human actions and appearances
【4】【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to find mirror neurons.
B. Problems of mirror neurons.
C. Discovery of mirror neurons.
D. Functions of mirror neurons.
28、 Travel can teach kids more than a textbook. Travelling with kids is good 【1】them. They can find new interests.

I’ve been traveling since I was seven years old. For me, to stop traveling would be like taking something 【5】from my soul(灵魂).I can’t live without traveling and I wouldn’t be who I am if I don’t travel. Some people think it’s 【6】to travel after having kids. But in my opinion, when people become parents, it doesn’t mean they couldn’t travel any more. My children have been traveling since they were three weeks old.
Bringing a new life into the world comes with many responsibilities(责任)and I’d love to be a good mother. One of my duties is to educate my children. I’m 【7】thankful that my parents took me on family trips when I was young. I’ve learned that 【8】outside world is more colorful than the little one I was living in. Of course, I want to pass these travel 【9】on to my children.
