You probably think the music that your parents like is old and dull, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But here is what scientists found: people's music tastes change with their age,　 according to a study. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents'.

We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors that affect one's music choice. But researchers at the University of Cambridge got data from more than 250, 000 people over the past 10 years, they noticed that as people grow, their　 music　 taste changes. There are three musical periods as people grow up“exciting” , “popular” and“sophisticated”．

The first period comes in the teenage years. People prefer exciting music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be active. But as people move into early adulthood, they hope to build close relationships with others. As a resu1t, they become more fond of popular music, such as pop and R&B, which are usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, things have settled down for most people. In this period they will like more “sophisticated” music better, such as jazz and classical, as well as more catchy music like country and blues. For many, they feel tired because of work and family, and they need relaxing and emotive music.

But you must be thinking: “Aren't there old people who are still into rock music? Of course there are. But Jason Rentfrow, a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We like music for different reasons，” he said, and thus at that age people may listen to music that can remind themselves of their youths.

1.Which kind of music might teenagers like?

A. Country music. B. Classical music.

C. Rock music. D. Pop music.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. There are four musical periods as people grow up.

B. Middle－aged people hope to build close relationships with others.

C. Old people will never like exciting music like rock and punk.

D. Music like country and blues can make people relax.

3.What does the underlined word “sophisticated” mean in Paragraph 1?

A. Not easy. B. Not simple

C. Not relaxing. D. Not soft

4.What is the main idea of the passage？.

A. People like different kinds of music as their age.

B. Different people like different kinds of music.

C. The most popular kinds of music in the world.

D. People should like the same music as their parents.

Do you often post or look at your old photos on Facebook? A new study found that it can cheer you up to do so.

When you are looking back over these pictures and wall posts reminds us of happier times.

Almost 90 percent of users enter the site to look at their own wall posts, and three quarters do this when they are feeling low.

Dr Alice Good, from the University of Portsmouth's School of Computing, found this 'selfsoothing(自我慰藉)' use of Facebook is good to our mood.

The findings are opposite to the previous(以前的) research, which suggested looking at Facebook can be bad for your mental(心理的) health.

"Although this was only a small study, we will go on to study larger groups to see if the results remain consistent(一致的)," said Dr Good.

Dr Good did a survey of 144 Facebook users and found they often use the site to reminisce(追忆), using old photos and wall posts as a form of comfort.

The group had an average age of 34 and had slightly more men than women. Of these, 39 percent had a history of mental health problems.

1.What is the new study about?

2.When do most of the users go into the site to look at their old photos?

3.What does the previous research think of looking at old photos on Facebook?

4.What will the researchers go on to do to see if the results remain consistent?
