Unfamiliar Music May Help Peple Chat at Parties
If yu want yur guests t be particularly sciable at an upcming party, make sure yu play music they prbably haven’t heard befre.
T explre hw backgrund music affects the way we 31 cnversatins, researchers Jane Brwn and Gavin Bidelman cnducted a study analyzing the brain activity f 31 individuals aged 21 and 33. During the experiment, participants listened t 72 minutes f an audibk (有声读物), which the pair used as a replacement fr 32 n smene talking, while backgrund music was accmpanied by the audibk fr mst f the time.
Fr half f the experiment, the participants were asked t fcus n 2-minute parts f an unfamiliar audibk read by a man. The rest f the time, they were tld t fcus n fur backgrund sngs, which were similarly 33 fr 2 minutes at a time. This 34 in vices aimed t assess participants’ ability t shift attentin between tw distinctly different vices.
During the experiment, all the participants wre 35 caps t mnitr the electrical activity taking place in their brains. This 36 f electrical activity was the key. It allwed Brwn and Bidelman t discver hw efficiently these individuals culd fcus n either the audibk r the music when 37 t d s. The finding revealed that the participants culd 38 turn their attentin t the audibk if the backgrund music was unfamiliar t them.
Fllwing the task, the participants cmpleted a music perceptin survey evaluating their musical skills, such as the capacity t 39 whether a pair f similar-sunding tunes are the same. Ntably, thse with lwer musical scres demnstrated slwer attentinal shifts between sngs and audibks, suggesting a(n) 40 link between musical ability and attentin management skills.

In Favur f Simple Writing
D yu edit text messages carefully befre sending them? If s, yu may be the kind f persn wh takes pride in 41 even the simplest message. If yu d nt, yu may see yurself as a g-getter, ne wh values excitement and speed ver 42 : get it dne decently nw rather than perfectly later.
Peple are cnstantly receiving messages, frm the mailbx t the inbx t the text-message alert. What t read, what t skim (略读) and what t ignre are decisins that nearly everyne has t make dzens f times a day. A new bk titled All Readers are Busy Nwadays makes the argument fr being the careful kind f 43 , even in infrmal lines. The authrs als present well-established 44 that have lng been prized in guides t writing.
Take “less is mre”. Mst bks n writing well advcate the advice t 45 needless wrds. The authrs, hwever, have 46 the idea. In an email t thusands f schl-bard members asking them t take a survey, cutting the cunt frm 127 t 49 wrds almst 47
the respnse rate.
Keeping messages t a 48 idea—r as few as abslutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted n. 49 the number f the available ptins has the same effect, t. A link in an email, 50 , attracted 50% mre clicks when presented alne than when it was sent alngside a secnd additinal link.
Syntax (句法) and 51 matter, t. It is mre 52 t adpt shrt and active sentences, with cmmn wrds familiar t everyne. Frm Facebk psts t nline-travel reviews, even brief, infrmal pieces f writing that fllw these rules get mre likes and shares.
If everyne is a busy reader, everyne is a busy writer, t. That may make it tempting t sent as many messages as 53 as pssible and hpe fr the best. But frm essays t text messages rganizing dinner plans, devting time t the needs f readers has prvable 54 . If yu are s busy that yu write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignre and delete, then yu might as well have nt 55 it at all.

Hundreds f peple die at sea every year due t ship and airplane accidents. Emergency teams have little time t rescue thse in the water because the prbability f finding a persn alive falls dramatically after six hurs. Beynd tides and challenging weather cnditins, unsteady castal currents ften make search and rescue peratins extremely difficult.
New insight int castal flws gained by an internatinal research team led by Gerge Haller, Prfessr f Nnlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, prmises t enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tls frm dynamical systems thery and cean data, the team has develped an algrithm (算法) t predict where bjects and peple flating in water will g. “Our wrk has a clear ptential t save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first authr f a study recently published in Nature Cmmunicatins.
In tday’s rescue peratins at sea, cmplicated mdels f cean dynamics and weather frecasting are used t predict the path f flating bjects. Fr fast-changing castal waters, hwever, such predictins are ften inaccurate due t uncertain bundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrng lcatin, causing a lss f precius time.
Haller’s research team btained mathematical results predicting that bjects flating n the cean’s surface shuld gather alng a few special curves (曲线) which they call TRansient Attracting Prfiles (TRAPs). These curves can’t be seen with ur eyes but can be tracked frm instant cean surface current data using recent mathematical methds develped by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning f search paths that are less sensitive t uncertainties in the time and place f the accident.
In cperatin with a team frm MIT, the ETH team tested their new, TRAP-based search algrithm in tw separate cean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is n the nrtheastern cast f the United States. Wrking frm the same real-time data available t the Cast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the regin in real-time. They fund that buys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrwn in the water indeed quickly gathered alng these emerging curves. “Of several cmpeting appraches tested in this prject, this was the nly algrithm that cnsistently fund the right lcatin”, says Haller.
“Our results are rapidly btained, easy t interpret, and cheap t perfrm,” pints ut Serra. Haller stresses: “Our hpe is that this methd will becme a standard part f the tl kit f cast guards everywhere.”
In a search and rescue peratin, ________.
A. the survival rate drps t almst zer after six hurs
B. the use f dynamics leads t the wrng lcatin
C. weather cnditins are a determining factr
D. changing currents present a challenge
64. The main significance f the new algrithm is ________.
A. accurately predicting weather cnditins during rescue peratins
B. dependence n satellite technlgy t lcate distressed individuals at sea
C. cst-effective, efficient tracking f bjects and individuals in castal waters
D. predicting the exact time and lcatin f cean accidents
65. Paragraph 5 mainly talks abut ________.
A. the cllectin f data
B. the testing f the algrithm
C. the identificatin f the TRAPs
D. the cperatin f tw research teams
66.Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw Mathematics Can Save Lives at Sea
B. Hw Castal Waters Affect Saving Lives
C. Why Algrithms Are Ppular in Rescue Operatins
D. Why Success Rates f Rescue Operatins Have Fallen
Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Childhd Media Shaping Futures
Much f the media we cnsume during ur frmative years shapes us int the peple we are tday. Reflect n a particular piece f media frm ur childhd—perhaps it’s the TV shw we eagerly awaited every weekend during visits t ur grandmther’s huse. 67 It shapes ur dreams and fears and even drives us t future careers.
68 Older children may have had a lt mre restrictins, like TV shws, mvies, and scial media access. And because f these, they were able t be a child fr lnger cmpared t their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Children wh have lder siblings tend t shw mre mature tendencies and can appear t “grw up quicker” than ther children their age.
While they might have been restricted frm scial media accunts until a certain age, nce given access, they tend t be mre prepared. The media expsure f ur generatin has undubtedly led t an increased maturatin at yunger ages. 69 9
Simply lking back at previus generatins and the rate f cnsumptin and prcessing f infrmatin that we experience every day, the effects f such are nly beginning. As sn-t-be r current adults, we are already facing issues such as depressin, anxiety, and delays in certain learning and scial skills, just t name a few. Are we “mre mature?” r are we verexpsed and at risk fr exceptinal mental, physical, and emtinal cnsequences?
In cnclusin, childhd media cnsumptin significantly influences ur lives. 70
Striking a balance between media expsure and mental well-being is essential fr ur grwth in tday’s media-rich wrld.
IV. Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint (s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Have Yu Gt Success Amnesia?
Have yu heard yurself say “it was nthing really” when smene cngratulates yu n a jb well dne? Or have yu drawn a blank when yu are asked t make a list f what yu have achieved? If s, yu have suffered success amnesia. Failing t acknwledge yur hard wrk is ften a sign f success amnesia. It signals that there might be a gap between hw thers view yur achievements and hw yu see them.
Peple wh have success amnesia ften have a strng track recrd at wrk r get it srted fr family members. They are peple wh thers wuld describe as successful and yet they find it difficult t acknwledge and wn their results. They dn’t hld their achievements in their memry bank.
This particular type f memry lss rbs them f the satisfactin and pleasure that can fllw in achieving a gal. And, perhaps mre imprtantly, it rbs them f cnfidence. Cnfidence des nt guarantee success, but it des increase the chance f success. Why nt try sme practical methds?
Ask fr feedback abut the impact yu’ve had and then listen carefully. Watch ut fr anything that yu begin t tell yurself “It wasn’t that big a deal.” Try t absrb what yu hear. Yu can als lk back ver the past 6 r 12 mnths, capture every success yu can think f, whether large r small, and write them dwn clearly. Purpsefully acknwledging and admitting yur achievements can help t bring them int mre realistic fcus. Besides, be mindful that yu have a tendency t frget r minimize yur achievements. A sticky nte n yur laptp screen might help: my strengths and achievements are bigger than they appear t me.
