23、If you ever find yourself yawning during a long Zoom video call, you may soon see yawns (打哈欠) spread to the other faces on your screen. Your pet under the desk may even join in.
Yawns can spread even between dogs and humans, as reported in 2008 and 2012. At the time, empathy — the ability to put yourself in another’s shoes — was one of most probable explanations. But new evidence suggests this reasoning is wrong.
To get a better understanding, researchers examined whether dogs’ yawning follows the same behavioral patterns with humans. For instance, people are both more likely to yawn with friends and families than with strangers. Besides, women, on average, report greater feelings of empathy (共情) than men, and catch yawns more frequently. But earlier this year, when researchers analyzed previous studies of yawning in dogs, they found no sign of these biases (偏向).
How often do dogs catch yawns from humans who are nice or not so nice to them? In another study, an experimenter would either play with or pet the dog, or plainly ignore the dog and avoid all eye contact. The anti-social experimenter would also show the dog a treat and command it to perform a trick, and then eat the treat themselves. But this did not affect the dogs’ yawning.
It’s still unclear why we yawn in the first place. One hypothesis is that yawning is a stress response that increases alertness by increasing blood flow to the brain and cooling it. “ Having yawns spread could help coordinate (协调) a group’s alertness. However, this is one nice evolutionary story that we don’t have that much evidence for. This isn’t to say your dog doesn’t have empathy at all. Instead, the study shows that animal minds are still a mystery. ” says Alex Taylor, an evolutionary psychologist.
【1】What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce the topic of the passage.
B．To clarify the definition of yawn.
C．To describe yawning through an example.
D．To make an overall outline for the passage.
【2】What can be learned about dogs’ yawn from the passage?
A．Dogs catch yawn as a result of empathy.
B．Female dogs yawn much more than male dogs.
C．Dogs tend to yawn more after a familiar person.
D．Dogs’ yawning follows a different pattern from human’s.
【3】According to Paragraph 4, what may the anti-social experimenter do to dogs?
A．Ignore the dog even if it yawns.
B．Pet them with great care and love.
C．Make no eye contact with them at all.
D．Give a treat to them when they perform a trick.
【4】What can we infer from Alex Taylor’s words?
A．We yawn to spread alertness to others.
B．We need to explore more about yawns.
C．Dogs may have no empathy at all.
D．Human’s yawning behavior arose from evolution.
24、 My colleagues and I investigated the presence of the “musical reminiscence bump(音乐记忆突点)” in a group of 470 adults who were between 18 and 82 years old. Our aim was to investigate how a person’s age when a song was popular affected three related but distinct concepts: the degree to which the song was associated with autobiographical memories, how familiar the song was and how much they liked the song.
Participants in our study were shown the titles and artists of 111 pop songs across a 65-year period (1950-2015) and provided ratings of the three concepts of interest.
We discovered that music during one’s adolescence was not only rated as more familiar, but was also associated with more autobiographical memories. This music-related reminiscence bump reached the highest around age 14. In addition, older adults (around age 40+) also liked songs from their adolescence more than other songs. However, younger adults (aged 18-40) did not show this same trend, and in some cases gave even lower liking ratings to music from their adolescence than music released before they were born.
This suggests that songs from our adolescence can become closely related with memories from our past even if we don’t personally value the music. This may be because it has accompanied various memorable settings from this period.
Some songs were preferred regardless of a participant’s age, however. For instance, we saw a general increase in how much people liked songs from the late 1970s to early 1980s, even in participants who weren’t yet born during that time period. This suggests pop music from certain time periods is intergenerationally valued. Examples of songs we used from this time period include Hotel California by the Eagles and Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.
【1】Participants in the investigation are___________.
A．expected to comment on the songs.
B．to test the three concepts of songs.
C．ranging in ages from a kid to a senior.

【2】What do we know about the age 14 in Paragraph 3?
A．People listen to songs less after this age.
B．People’s preferences of songs divide at this age.
C．People get most memories from songs of this age.
D．People at this age begin to have autobiographical memories.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Some songs keep alive beyond time.
B．Years around 1980 are a golden age for music.
C．The memorable situation of a song decides its popularity.
D．Hotel California and Billie Jean are adored across nations.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．Music Changes Our Life.
B．Everyone Is a Follower of Songs.
C．We’re Crazy about Music from Our Youth.
