There are hundreds of genres(流派) of music, so while some might like one kind, others might like something completely different. Why do people like different kinds of music?
At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture, especially one that shares an interest in a certain kind of music.
Musie can also be nostalgic, that is, it creates a kind of longing for the past. Musicians leave behind a footprint with their music Even long after the musicians are gone, people still find something in the musicians' recordings that they can enjoy.
We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was a song that someone sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories.
When we listen to music that we like,a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released in the brain, which can make us feel goodThere are some algorithms(算法) today that can help pick up on the kind of music we like. When we are streaming music,some programs will let us like or dislike songs.
People's taste in music can remain the same in their whole life or it can change many times. But the truth is, we don't know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds of music —or sports, or food, or colors. We are all different people who like different things.
A. It's music to our ears.
B. Music can be a part of our identity.
C. It becomes a miror that we are holding up.
D. They leave a permanent mark in people's lives.
E. Therefore, we might want to listen to a song on repeat.
E. Other times, we might find musie can bring up sad memories.
G. There are lots of different factors that can influence our preferences.

Human responses to moral dilemmas(两难选择) can be influenced by statements written by the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. The findings indicate that users may underestimate the extent to which their own moral judgments can be influenced by the chatbot.
Sebastian Krigel and colleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times whether it is right to sacrifice (牺牲)the life of one person in order to save the lives of five others. They found that ChatGPT wrote random statements arguing both for and against sacrificing one life, indicating that it is not biased towards a certain moral stance(立场).
The authors then presented 767 U. S. participants, who were on average 39 years old, with a dilemma whether to sacrifice one person's life to save five others. Before answering, participants read a statement provided by ChatGPT arguing either for or against sacrificing one life to save five. Statements were from either a moral advisor or ChatGPT. After answering, participants were asked whether the statement they read influenced their answers.
Eighty percent of participants reported that their answers were not infuenced by the statements they read. However, the authors found that the answers participants believed they would have provided without reading the statements were still more likely to agree with the moral stance of the statement they did read than with the opposite stance. This indicates that participants may have underestimated the influence of ChatGPT's statements on their own moral judgments. 微信公众号IAI English
The authors suggest that the potential for chatbots to influence human moral judgments highlights the need for education to help humans better understand artificial intelligence. They propose that future research should design chabots that either decline to answer questions requiring a moral judgment or answer these questions by providing multiple arguments and warnings.
(1)、What are ChatGPT's answers to a certain moral stance?A、Inconsistent. B、Valuable. C、Creative. D、Simple.(2)、What is learned about the participants?A、They admitted the power of ChatGPT. B、They were interviewed by a moral advisor. C、They were affected by ChatGPT unknowingly. D、They were presented with different moral dilemmas.(3)、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A、Different findings of the study. B、Future potentials for chatbots. C、Major focuses of future education. D、Solutions to the impact of chatbots.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、ChatGPT Tends to Cause Moral Panics B、ChatGPT: Is It Likely to Affect Our Life? C、ChatGPT:Why Is It Making Us So Nervous? D、ChatGPT Can Influence Human Moral Judgments -

Scientists at Purdue University created the world's whitest paint—a discovery that not only adds yet another choice to the"which white should we paint this wall" dilemma, but also might help the climate crisis.
The paint was developed by Purdue mechanical engineering professor Xiulin Ruan and his team. It works through a passive cooling technology that offers great promises to reduce space cooling cost and global warming. "When we started this project seven years ago, we had saving energy and fighting climate change in mind,"Ruan said in a podeast(播客) episode of This Is Purdue. They wanted to create a paint that would reflect sunlight away from a building, dramatically decreasing the need for air conditioning.
Heating, cooling, and lighting account for 28 percent of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. And overusing air conditioning can overwhelm a city's power grid and cause blackouts(停电). In a Queens blackout in 2006,175,000 people were left without power, which lead to 40 deaths. This paint could effectively be an alternative to air conditioners in some places.
The paint reflects 98. 1%of solar radiation while also giving out infrared(红外线的) heat. Because the paint takes in less heat from the sun than it gives out, a surface coated with this paint is cooled below the surrounding temperature without using power. Covering a roof area of 1,000 square feet with the paint could create 10 kilowatts ofcooling power, the researchers found. "That's more powerful than the air conditioners used by most houses,"Ruan told This Is Purdue.
You can't buy the paint just yet, but researchers are partnering with a company to put the paint on the market.
While individual action to fight elimate change can help save our planet, it's important to note that the vast majority of the world's greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to 100companies. Maybe we can douse(浇) those companies with this white paint, too—it could be worth a shot.
(1)、What is known about the paint?A、It has different colors. B、It doesn't cost much. C、It uses heating technology. D、It is climate-friendly.(2)、What is the Queens blackout mentioned to show?A、The poor management of power. B、The significance of the paint. C、The importance of air conditioning. D、The result of global warming.(3)、Which aspect of the paint is talked about in Paragraph 4?A、Its application. B、Its function. C、Its composition. D、Its disadvantage.(4)、What can be learned from the last paragraph?A、The quality of the paint needs improving. B、The paint will bring profits to the 100 companies. C、Researchers want to see the paint in commercial use. D、Individual efforts matter in creating the whitest paint. -

Recently I bought a book about signposts. Signposts aren't very interesting, you're thinking. Well, that, of course, depends on whether you happen to be lost! Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart. In winter, the ability to reach shelter for the night could be the difference between life and death.
One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft(碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn'tuntil 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.
This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town. Later, with the appearance of the Royal Mail, the number rose still further. Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated(指定)as Listed Monuments.
"How times change!" Lucy, an enthusiastic walker, to whom I loaned the book,exclaimed.
"I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us. "
"Yet they aren'tperfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery. " "T'm always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route," she added,"I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome. "
Lucy is quite right there. Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path, and sometimes it isn't easy to know if we've chosen the best one.
Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them—either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we'd be lost without them!
(1)、What does the underlined word "these " in the first paragraph refer to?A、Signposts. B、Abilities. C、Settlements. D、Shelters.(2)、What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?A、The market trade. B、The act passed in 1697. C、The discovery of the sandstone. D]. The appearance of the Loyal Mail.(3)、What does Lucy think of signposts?A、Popular. B、Outdated. C、Imperfect. D、Helpful.(4)、What does the author learn from signposts?A、To choose right tracks. B、To live a colorful life. C、To have a grateful mind. D、To offer practical choices. -
