21、Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people my age say they just don’t make good music like they used to. Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical tastes begin to become clear as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.
There could be a biological explanation for this, as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies weakens with age. So to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all “sound the same.”
But there are maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s dislike to newer music. One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the “mere exposure effect”, which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it.
This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to. When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine.
For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase, so there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old, familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there’s nothing wrong with your parents because they don’t like your music. Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.
【1】What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?
A．They no longer listen to new music.
B．They find all music sounds the same.
C．They can make subtle distinctions about music.
D．They seldom listen to songs released in their teens.
【2】Which of the following situations agrees with the “mere exposure effect”?
A．Tom likes the book, so he reads it more times.
B．Andy recites the words repeatedly and he is fed up with them.
C．Mike often listens to the same song and becomes more and more interested in it.
D．Peter goes to school by bike every day, and therefore his riding skills are better and better.
【3】What conclusion can we draw according to the psychology research?
A．Teenagers are much more sensitive.
B．Teenagers are much more emotional.
C．Teenagers’ preferences are more lasting.
D．Teenagers’ emotions are more intense.
【4】What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A．Quality issues of new music.
B．Older people’s dislike of new music.
C．Older people’s changing musical tastes.
D．Insights into the features of good music.
22、If You've Got an Interview，Get Your Etiquette (礼仪) Right
INTERVIEWING for a job is like going battle. You need to be prepared. Just being polite may not be enough. 【1】 Here, 21st Century identifies the traps and shows you how to deal with them.
【2】 Even though your interviewer should already have one, they may still ask for a copy to test your preparedness.
Avoid arriving too early. Of course, it's not good to be late, but if you arrive too early you could give the impression that you cannot follow directions. Also, your early arrival could upset the interviewer's schedule, if he or she still has things to accomplish before meeting with you. 【3】 . You can spend time in a cafe or a shopping mall if your taxi or bus gets you there too early.
Hold your tongue in the waiting room. 【4】 Doing so could cause you to lose focus. Also, remember that your behaviour and conversation may be monitored by office staff. So, if another interviewee tries to talk with you, smile and ask for a few minutes to yourself.
When you accept a cup of water or tea, be careful that you do not spill it—on yourself or the floor. 【5】 Otherwise, you could accidentally spill the drink and cause yourself to feel embarrassed.
And, finally, after you get back home, it's important to take time to write a short letter or e-mail expressing thanks. Keep it brief. Do not ask about the interviewer's impression of you, or about your chances of getting hired. This might make you sound like a pushy (有企图心的) person!
A．Being on time is always acceptable.
B．Always bring an extra copy of your resume with you
C．You'd better not share your opinion with your candidates.
D．It's OK to take a few sips (小口喝), but set it aside if you are not thirsty.
E．Avoid chatting with other interviewees, even if you are friends.
F．It's best to arrive 10 or 15 minutes before the interview is scheduled to begin.
G．A few minor mistakes in etiquette can upset your chances of making a good impression.
23、Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome.
Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.
Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.
Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. "It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it," a source told FOX411. "They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive."
People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. "Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye," said a family member.
And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.
But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.
"If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place," he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.
Also, Brown is "not brain dead," as has been reported.
And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They "are NOT fighting," says our source.
【1】According to Fox News, Bobbi Kristina is _________.
A. within an inch of life
B. on the way to success
C. left aside by her family
D. in a good state
【2】Bobby Brown holds the opinion that _________.
A. they are busy issuing statements all day
B. the family is saying goodbye to Kristina
C. he is getting along well with the Houston family
D. most journalists are getting the wrong end of the stick.
【3】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. An Accident In The Bathtub
B. Kristina, We’re Still Praying And Waiting On A Miracle
C. False Reports From Different News Media
D. Bobbi Kristina’s Final Days
24、Researchers have long sought ways to design air conditioning systems that can work without such greenhouse gases as HFCS, but none has come close to being a direct replacement. A small Irish company, however, now states to have come up with an answer.
Exergyn, based in Dublin, has been working on a 60kw prototype(原型机)which not only avoids HFCS, but also has the benefit of having few moving parts. The system uses a material called a shape-memory alloy(合金). SMAS, as they are known for short, have the unusual ability to return to a predetermined shape when heated. The SMAS produce heat when their shapes are changed by compression(压缩), and then absorb it when the pressure is gone and they return to their original shapes.
Tony Ennis, Exergyn’s chairman, says this method of cooling is not only more environmentally friendly than an HFCS system, but will also be less expensive to buy and 30%～40% cheaper to run. It will be lighter and smaller, too. As for reliability, he says the prototype’s performance suggests the unit could operate for more than 40 years without a problem.
When Dr. O’Toole, an expert in memory materials, cofounded Exergyn in 2012, his intention was to use the SMAS to create a system that would turn low grade waste heat into electricity. But the challenges presented by HFCS persuaded him that air conditioning would be a quicker way to bring the technology to market. Development is still continuing, but products may be only a few years away.
He has not given up thoughts of producing electricity. He even wants to expand its application to other products, such as refrigerators and heat pumps to absorb heat from the ground for home heating. When time allows, Dr. O’Toole and his colleagues hope to get to work on those ideas, too.
【1】What does the underlined word “predetermined” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Original.
B．Different.
C．Strange.
D．Perfect.
【2】Exergyn’s air conditioner will be ________ than the HFCS system.
A．more expensive
B．more reliable
C．bigger
D．heavier
【3】Which product did Exergyn want to apply the SMAS to in 2012?
A．Heat pumps.
B．Air conditioning systems.
C．Refrigerators.
D．Waste-to-energy systems.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Challenges Presented by HFCS
B．Potential Uses of Shape memory Alloys
C．A NewHeat Pump With Few Moving Parts
D．A New Air-conditioner Without Greenhouse Gases
