Do you think you’re smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn，a professor at a New Zealand university，you are! Over the course of the last century，people who have taken IQ have gotten increasingly better scores —on average，three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvements is known as the "Flynn effect"，and scientists want to know what is behind it．
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge．Flynn knew that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment and experience, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. or our surroundings. So What was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?
Scientists have proposed(提出)several explanations for the Flynn effect．Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure(暴露)to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. (营养) Since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past．Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles，with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kinds of problem-solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn has limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test．Test-takers didn’t do better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test；They did better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example，one part of the test shows a set of abstract (抽象的) shapes and test-takers must find the patterns (模式) and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the test.
According to Flynn，this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases．Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test．So are you really smarter than your parents？In one very specific way，you may be．
1.The "Flynn effect" is ______.

Do you wonder why your classmates always get higher marks than you? If you think it is because they are cleverer than you, you are really wrong, according to American authors Wood Smethurst and william Luckie. In their book, Study Power, they say that successful students are not cleverer than others and that they just know the best ways to study for exams.
“The best way to study is to study actively, say the authors. You must ask yourself questions as you work. Asking yourself questions will help you remember information better and faster. To study better you also need to make the best use of your time: When you study, the authors say, only go on for 20 minutes at a time. If you study for longer you will start thinking about other things and not learn anything. The authors also tell students to listen to everything their teachers say in class and write it down.
The authors say that everyone can get high marks if they learn actively and follow their tips.

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.
