The boys thought for several moments, then one of them said, “Let’ s tell him that our taxi had a flat tire(爆胎).” “That’s a good idea,” the other boys said. “We’ll tell him that.”

They arrived at school an hour later. The test was finished.

“Why are you late?” the teacher asked. “You miss the test.” “Our taxi had a flat tire,” one of the boys said.

The teacher thought for a moment, then he said, “Sit down, one of you in each corner of the room.” The four boys did this. Then the teacher said, “Write the answer to this question on a piece of paper: Which tire was flat?

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(因素)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 result, 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.

(    )54. Which kind of music might teenagers like?

A.Country music.   B.    Classical music.  C. Rock music. D.  Pop music.

(    )55. What does the underlined word “catchy” mean in Paragraph 3?

A.可抓到的          B.吸引人的             C.流行的         D.容易理解的

(    )56. 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.

What is 5G? It is the fifth generation(代) of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.

The Emperor spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth.

His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages—Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers.

After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.

An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended(假装) to eat the sixth man.

The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding(捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.

The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.

At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.

The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury(埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.
