This may be music to your ears.
Researchers P.Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3,500 people a personality quiz.“We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities,” Gosling says.

RAP/HIP-HOP
Known for their quick speech,some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音节) a minute!
If you like rap/hip-hop,you are energetic and have a way with words.You put a fresh spin on things,whether it’s new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.
CLASSICAL
In the 18th century,classical musicians were like rock stars.Beethoven and Mozart,for example,played in packed concert halls.
If you like classical,you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends.Creative and imaginative,you can easily spend many hours reading,writing or painting.
COUNTRY
Country music came from the folk songs of English,Scottish,and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.
If you like country,you express your opinions well,which makes you the ideal class president or team captain.Traditional and loyal,you enjoy spending time with your family.
POP
Pop music is designed to attract almost everyone,and it does.Each year,the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars!
If you like pop,you are attractive to your friends.You can make big things happen,like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.
ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
In the 1950s,rock music created a brand-new culture.Teenagers,for the first time,had an identity separate from adults and children.
If you like rock/alternative,you are a risk-taker who never accepts no for an answer.You rise to any challenge,like doing very well in a big exam or landing the lead in the school play.
If these personality profiles don’t match you,that’s OK.These are just for fun.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love,sadness,good times,and bad times.It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk;as life becomes more complicated (复杂的) it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music,sometimes called country-western,comes from two lands of music.One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.The other is traditional cowboy music from the West.The singers usually play guitars,and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city people said country music was low class.It was popular mostly in the South.But during World War Ⅱ,thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories.They took their music with them.Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South.They learned country music.Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City,among educated and uneducated people.About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day.English singers sing it in British English,and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.

Plants are boring.They just sit there photosynthesizing(进行光合作用) while animals have all the fun.Right?Not so much.A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants.The ant and plant coevolution(协同进化) started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features.
Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use.Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mammals.These include hollow thorns that ants will live inside,or extra nectar(琼浆) on leaves or stems for the ants to eat.Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run,but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant.Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around,by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds.The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away,eat the food packet,and leave the seed—often in a nutrient-rich area where it’ll grow better,and since it’s farther away from its parent,they won’t have to compete for resources.
But scientists weren’t sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started.If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors,then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot.It was a chicken-and-egg question,whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants,or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants.
The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs,and it’s not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot.However,it is a question of little significance.Scientists say their study matters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved.
8.Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to 　　　. 
A.reward the ants
B.make a fool of ants
C.provide nutrition for the seeds
D.get the seeds moved around
答案:D

9.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A.How plants and ants interact.
B.What ants do to protect plants.
C.How plants and ants survive attacks.

10.Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants?
A.Ants depended more upon plants.
B.It caused a race for better evolution.
C.How it got started was uncertain.
D.It was of little value for future studies.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知,但是科学家不确定蚂蚁和植物之间的进化关系是如何开始的。故选C项。

A.To introduce a science research method.
B.To inform readers of a latest research finding.
C.To arouse readers’ interest in science research.
D.To criticize people’s traditional views about plants.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第四句可知,一项新的研究发现蚂蚁和植物之间的相互作用有着悠久的历史。故作者写这篇文章的目的是让读者了解该最新的科学研究。故选B项。

Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties.It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.
Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music.Elvis Presley,Chuck Berry,the Beach Boys,and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s.All were American.Then,in 1964,a new rock and roll group from England invaded America:the Beatles.
Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever.Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians,including Chuck Berry.But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them. 
The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964,when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles.In 1967,they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.It was one of the first “concept” albums.That is,all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.
The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America.The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands.The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today.In 1965,the group recorded one of its most famous songs,“Satisfaction”.
By the 1970s,rock and roll music became known as rock music.Experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll.Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”.Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties.Many of his songs were about social issues.He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.

Jatin and his younger sister,Neha,lived with their parents in a poor neighbourhood.Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job,and they had only a little money with which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several months,the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day,Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed,but he lost them on the way home.It wasn’t until he got home that he realised he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed,so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’s running shoes.Neha’s school hours were in the morning,so she would wear them first.After school,she would rush back and give them to Jatin.He could then run to his school,which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could,Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city.When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Jatin had a strong start,but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength,and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,determined to finish third.Suddenly,as the finish line drew near,another runner collided (碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin crashed to the ground.

Filledwithpleasure,Jatinwalkedhomeinnotime.He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news.On his arrival,Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously.“Neha,see what I have got for you.” Jatin said excitedly,taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands.The instant Neha saw the shoes,her face lit up.So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Jatin.“Thank you!Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
