22、   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 .

23、Understanding one's own history is important for young people's learning and development. Students are often asked to write a story about their own family's history or about a special person in their family. But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people, in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular situation.

When people understand their own history, they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives. Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are. ,

Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history. And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family's experience in 1944.This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people. But in today's situation, those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake.

If our society is ever to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history, including what has happened to our Native American, African-American and Latino friends, our schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories. Families and related social bodies must do the same.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, a good knowledge of our own history can help us_____.

A. become good at writing stories

B. make our influence on the society stronger

C. gain a good understanding of our present situation

D. understand the importance of learning and development

【2】What does the underlined phrase "grapple with" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Manage.     B. Recover.

C. Exercise. D. Determine.

【3】It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the author's family's experience in 1944 was_____.

A. interesting B. surprising

C. harmful  D. painful

【4】The passage mainly encourages us to_____.

A. write our own stories

B. learn our own history

C. understand the importance of history

D. have a proper attitude towards history
