10、res a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedythe former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter. But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide theyre not so different after all. Music and movies have been

11、closely connected since the beginning of the film industryeven before the voices of actors were recorded. In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience.Studies have long shown that our heart rat

12、es and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear. Using this knowledge, composers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences. Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect, bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality

13、. The use of dissonant(不和谐的) tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension. Humans naturally become unnerved when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger, like those that animals make to warn against predators(捕食者).As crucial as it is, the best

14、film music is subtle. All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotionthey shouldnt realize whats causing it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.In keeping with this principle, some filmmakers are even using whats called “infr

15、asound”(次声波) to arouse fear. While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the range of the human ear, infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety, tremble and even sorrow. For example, infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity, and audie

16、nces reposed extremely high fear levels despite the 1ack of action throughout the movie. “It doesnt affect everyone equally,” said British science writer Philip Ball, author of The Music Instinct, but he predicted that “we will see more of it used in movies in the future”.1、What is the difference be

18、e” in the third paragraph mean?AGentle.BWonderful.CNot immediately obvious.DNot extremely attractive.4、What do we know about “infrasound” from the last paragraph?AIt cant be known to people.BIt makes audiences relaxed.CIt is within the range of the human ear.DIt will be used more in movies in the fu

This idea appealed to Stoke very much.Stoke is in her third year of studies at Virginia Tech. She took a

22、 gap year in 2013. “It just sounded like a really great idea to have a year off to figure out more of what I wanted to do in college and after,” she said. So, after finishing high school in 2013, Stoke decided she also wanted to take a gap year before starting college.In fall 2013, Stoke connected w

23、ith a family in Barcelona, Spain. They agreed to let her live with them and paid her a small amount to help care for their children for seven months.

28、usion may have made sense.Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.But the “double shirt” isnt fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since

29、 US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasnt showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored with looking perfec

30、t all the time. “Fashion thrives (v. 蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something thats considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesnt ne

31、cessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means not the mainstream it is not what everyones wearing; it is not what the general population considers as in right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.But throughout the history of fashio

32、n, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up ne

33、w ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices.

37、 scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires d

38、estroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cau

39、se cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thu

40、s trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following s

41、pring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosph

42、ere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, f

Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per squar

49、ry day although working from home is on the rise. If youre lacking for topics of conversation at a party, chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study, driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers. The Sunday Times of Lo

50、ndon detailed the study, which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day, the study found a noticeable dropoff in brainpower, measured by intelligence and

51、memory tests. The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activity, like television watching.As it turns out, stimulating activity stimulates your brain, while non-stimulating activity, well, doesnt stimulate your brain.“Cognitive (认知的)

52、decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people.
