22、If someone said they’d pay you $ 1,800 to stay off social media for six years, would you do it? Could you?

Sivert Klefsaas did just that. “I thought it was awesome,” Sivert told CNN Tuesday, “I thought, ‘Ah what’s 6 more years?’”

In 2016, Lorna Goldstrand Klefsaas challenged her 12-year-old son Sivert to stay off social media until he was 18. If he completed the challenge, she’d award him the cash on his eighteenth birthday. On February 19, 2022, Sivert claimed his prize.

Lorna was inspired by a challenge she heard on the radio called the “16 for 16”, where a mother gave her daughter $1,600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media, she told CNN. She decided to up the ante (期限) to two extra years and $200 more.

Sivert said it wasn’t too difficult to live without social media, and he didn’t think about it much during the six years. As a 12 year old, Sivert said he wasn’t using social media much anyway. The only app he had prior to the bet was Snapchat—which he deleted a day after trying it out. “I wouldn’t say there was ever a time when I thought I was about to break,” he said. “As it went on, it was more of a pride thing.” He also had his friends to keep him up to date on the latest information or trends.” I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there.” Sivert added.

Lorna said she never had to check for any sneakily downloaded apps. “He’s so competitive, it was definitely more for proving a point.” she said. It also meant he had more time to focus on his grades and sports instead, Sivert told reporter.

Now $1,800 richer, Sivert told CNN he hasn’t thought about what to buy (when he was 12, he joked he’d get a house), but it’ll likely be something for his dorm room at the University of Northwestern St. Paul, which he’ll attend in the fall.

After Sivet’s success, Lorna took to Facebook to share the challenge. She said it was some of the best money she ever spent. Other parents have seemed interested in trying it out too, she told CNN.

“We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it.” Lorna noted. “It’s about not letting yourself get weighed down by it, or addicted to it, or affected by things that people post.” She added she thinks her son now has a “different perspective” on social media than he would have at age 12.

【1】What do we know about Lorna?

A．She posted the challenge on CNN.

B．She has a different perspective on social media now.

C．She offered Sivert the cash on his sixteenth birthday.

D．She got inspiration from a similar challenge over the radio.

【2】What mainly made Sivert win $1,800?

A．His eagerness to prove himself.

B．His mother’ support.

C．His friends’ encouragement.

D．His casual attitude.

【3】What’s the attitude of other parents towards the challenge?

A．Indifferent.

B．Objective.

C．Favorable.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What advice did Lorna offer at Last?

A．Avoid using social media.

B．Develop a healthy living habit.

C．Try not to be addicted to social media.

D．Escape being influenced by people around you.

23、Most Famous Libraries in the World

Trinity College Library

Designed by Thomas Burgh, the library is the largest in Ireland. Construction on the Long Room, the library’s 65-meter-long main hall, began in 1712 and lasted 20 years. The original structure only had books on the lower level, but when the library’s shelves were filled in the 1850s, the ceiling was raised to accommodate even more books. Today the Long Room holds 200,000 of the library’s oldest books.

Stuttgart City Library

Opened in 2011, the German library is a splendid light-gray cube consisting of glass blocks designed by Eun Young Yi. Inside it, you’ll find an airy central room, above which sits a multi-story stepped reading room lined with bookshelves. The library towers over the nearby buildings.

Library of Parliament

Taking the form of a Victorian Gothic chapter house complete with 16 flying buttresses, the 1876 Library of Parliament is one of Canada’s prized architectural treasures — it’s on the ten-dollar bill. Architects Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones took inspiration from the British Museum Reading Room for the structure, lining the central hall with delicate wood shelves and wood carvings.

Rampur Raza Library

Founded in the late 18th century, the Indian library is home to a massive collection of Islamic and Asian texts and objects. The pink structure that houses the collection today was built in 1904 by Nawab Hamid Ali Khan as a mansion of Indo-European style, The Rampur Raza Library was later shifted to this grand building in 1957.

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.

D．provided the titles and singers of the songs.

【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.

D．Songs Possess the Unique Features of a Time .
