10、 music Most people can remember important news stories clearly, whether it was the murder of President Kennedy in the US or the events of 9/11. But now psychologists Martin Conway and Catriona Morrison, from the University of Leeds in the UK, are investigating how music can create “autobiographical

11、memories” of the main events in our lives. The study is online. People have to choose a song by the Beatles and describe the memories that they have when they listen to it.Reminiscence bump Morrison explained that they looked at different age groups and their memories. We often remember more from wh

12、en we are teenagers, and this is called “the reminiscence bump”. This is the time in your life when you form your idea of who you are. For old people who have memories related to the Beatles music, most of those memories are from when they were teenagers. But younger people also had clear personal m

13、emories from their past.She loves you This study was different from other memory studies, because people remembered events from their past with lots more details. Morrison explained: “It was like people had travelled back to the past, and they had very clear memories of things that had happened. Whe

14、n they heard a song like She Loves You by the Beatles, they could remember one night in autumn 1963. They remembered what they were wearing, what the weather was like and what their friend said to them. You get a lot more information than if you just say,tell me about a night you remember.” The stud

15、y has found that music could be used with people who have problems remembering the past. “You could use music to help improve peoples ability to remember,” said Morrison. “In the future, we would like to do more experiments to see how useful music is in helping people to remember the past, and compa

16、re it to other things that might also help.”21. Professor Conway and Dr Morrisons research aims to_?A. see how music can help people remember the pastB. study old songs influence on peoples behaviourC. find out what influences peoples memories of the pastD. find ways to help people with memory diffi

20、he Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climat

21、e of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount

22、of CO2 given off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests

23、reacted to climate change in the past.Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen(花粉) kept in lake mud, Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments(沉淀物), which requires specialized e

24、quipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled(未取样). So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that

By predicting the climate change in the future.B. By drilling down deep into land sediments.C. By analyzing fossiliz

26、ed pollen in lake mud.D. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.26. Why is it difficult to collect information about the past climate change?A. Because scientists cant find proper equipment and machinery.B. Because it is very difficult to obtain complete samples.C. Because helicopters and aerop

27、lanes have no place to land.D. Because none of the cores provide any information.27. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A medical journal. B. A news report.C. A travel brochure. D. A science magazine.28. The best title for the text may be_ .A. Secrets of the Rainforests B. Climates of

28、the AmazonC. The History of the Rainforest D.

29、sease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or an open place and take turns in walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, its an overnight event of up to 2

30、4 hours in length. Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Klatt, a surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
