26、I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?

It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn't we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.

Just then—WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?

Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.

How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.

We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?

【1】Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving?

A．A tourist attraction.

B．A vacation spot.

C．Her own home.

D．A strange little village.

【2】What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?

A．That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.

B．That she wasn’t good at using maps.

C．That her cousin and daughter were out of patience.

D．That she hadn’t set out earlier.

【3】The author felt really amazed because ______.

A．the right route came out of nowhere

B．she discovered a tourist spot unknown to people

C．she reached what she had planned to by chance

D．being lost brought an unexpected pleasure

【4】What does the story intend to tell us?

A．Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.

B．Select what we need for the purpose of survival.

C．Keep calm when you are stuck in trouble.

D．Be positive because there's always a surprise.

Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in poor and remote community (社区).

We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programs. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.

Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may chances to meet new people who’ll became your lifelong friends.

This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programs:

29、   A study of 500,000 songs released in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.

In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “‘Happiness’ is going down, 'sadness' is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more 'danceable' and more 'party-like',” co-author Natalia L. Komarova told The Associated Press.

The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, “Would I Lie To You?” by Eurythmics and “Freedom” by Wham had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year,” the researchers wrote.

Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s. “So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance,” Komarova wrote in an email.

It was also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music-had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs,” they wrote.

This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.

【1】The researchers examined lots of songs to________.

A．find songs for dances and parties

B．choose songs for a journal

C．know better about songs

D．release more songs

【2】Which song tends to bring you more happiness?

A．Whispers.

B．Freedom.

C．Stay With Me.

D．Unmissable.

【3】From this passage, we can know that________.

A．rock became popular in the early 2000s

B．fewer unhappy songs came to light every year

C．female artists were less skilled in writing songs

D．male singers were better at performing pop music

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Music Calls for Sex Equality.

B．Music Industry Is Going Down.

C．Pop Music Has a Long History.

D．Pop Music Is Getting Sadder.
