Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don’t like to talk about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful planning can provide you with relief from annoying coworkers, gossiping friends or talkative family members.

Coworkers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be taken care of very simply. All you have to do is get up extra one day. Before the sun comes up, drive to each coworker’s house. Reach under the cover of your coworker’s car and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor（配电盘）cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. If you’re lucky, your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.

Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave false messages on their lockers(柜子). If the friend that you want to get is male, leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any luck，her boyfriend will be there. The girl won’t know what’s going on, and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably won’t leave his home for a month.

When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way it makes them quiet down for a while. The dinner table is a likely place. Just before the meal begins, throw a handful of raisins (葡萄干) into the food. Wait about five minutes and, after everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make strange noises. When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell. “Bugs!” They’ll throw their food in the dustbin, jump into the car, and head for McDonald’s. That night you’ll have your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long time.

A well-planned revenge does not have it hurt anyone. The object is simply to let other people know that they are beginning to bother you.

1. According to the passage, a harmless revenge is ________.

A. to amuse the victim

B. to hurt nobody emotionally

C. to react to those who bother you

D. to prevent one from disturbing others

2.As a harmless revenge, you might come first and get a raise by ________.

A. pleasing your boss

B. destroying your colleagues’ cars

C. making your colleagues come late

D. getting up earlier than your colleagues

3. The family members threw their food in the dustbin because ________.

A. they wanted to eat out

B. they didn’t like the food with raisins

C. they wanted to have a peaceful meal

D. they thought their food had been ruined

4. The topic of the passage is how to ________.

A. make a harmless revenge

B. silence gossiping friends

C. avoid talkative family members

D. deal with annoying coworkers

“As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to wear, I would not want anything more."

Just at that moment Goddess Fortune20the beggar among the crowd and approached him, greeting, “Hi, young man, I have wished to 21 you for a long time.

Hit songs are big business, so there is an incentive for composers to get those ingredients that might increase their chances of success. But songs are complex mixtures of features. How to analyse them is made more difficult by the fact that what is popular changes over time. But Natalia Komarova, a mathematician at the University of California, Irvine, thinks she has cracked the problem. Her computer analysis suggests that the songs currently preferred by consumers are danceable, party-like numbers. Unfortunately, those actually writing songs prefer something else.

She and her colleagues collected information on music released in Britain between 1985 and 2015. They looked in music “metadata (元数据)’’ that are used by music lovers and are often tapped into by academics. Metadata are information about the nature of a song that can give listeners an idea of what that song is like before they hear it. Dr. Komarova and her team were presented with more than 500,000 songs to detect numerous musical features. The team fed all of this information into a computer and compared the features of songs that had made it into the charts (排行榜) with those of songs that had not.

Overall, the team’s results suggested that chart successes were happier and brighter than the average songs released during the same year. Chart toppers were also more likely than average songs to have been performed by women.

Dr. Komarova used these results to train her computer to try to predict whether a randomly presented song was likely to have been a hit in a given year. The machine correctly predicted success 75% of the time, compared with that from the music database.

Content isn’t everything. As might be expected, circumstances, particularly any fame already attached to a recording artist or artists, had an effect too. But not a huge one. That suggests that musical fame is actually attached to talent, rather than to advertising. And this is a lesson for an industry that some believe is not connected enough to talent.

1.Why is it difficult to tell what makes good music?

A. What people think is popular changes with the time.

B. What some people think popular isn’t for other people.

C. No one cares about what makes popular music.

D. It’s difficult to know the features of popular music.

2.What can we infer from the results of the team’s research?

A. The content of good music can be typed into computers.

B. Good music has the quality to make people think about life.

C. Happier and brighter songs are more likely to make the charts.

D. Analysis can decide in advance whether a song will be popular.

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

A. Expression.　　 B. Motivation.

C. Exhibition.　　 D. Division.

4.What’s the relationship between musical fame and the singer?

A. A famous singer will make any music he/she sings popular.

B. Good music depends on whether the singer is widely advertised.

C. A good female singer can make an average song popular.

D. Talent is more important than fame to make a song popular.
