Some songs tend to get stuck in our heads more easily than others.When a song becomes
super popular,we say it's "gone viral".Those words might be more accurate than we ever
imagined.
David Earn is an applied mathematician.One day,he talked with musician and scientist Matt
Woolhouse.Woolhouse found some songs had been downloaded thousands of times over just a few
weeks or months.Those patterns looked familiar to Earn,who studies disease epidemics.And
those download data resembled the kind of data he saw with disease transmission().They
wondered whether that kind of spread from person to person could be how people decide that they
like particular songs.
Earn had been working with a mathematical model to predict how diseases spread during an
epidemic.His team now used the same model with the song data.They looked at the 1,000 most
downloaded songs in the United Kingdom,dividing them by type.
For popular songs,downloads increased rapidly over time,much like a contagious(
)disease infecting a group of susceptible people.Some types were more contagious than others,
the team reported in 2023."The group of people who connect and like folk music isn't the same as
the group of people who like heavy metal or dance music.They're different social groups,"Earn
says."And some of those social groups are much more likely to share things quickly."
Surprisingly,pop music wasn't the most contagious.It spread,but not as quickly as some
other types.Electronic music,on the other hand,was super contagious.Earn thinks these listeners
are probably super connected on the web and share things more than people who prefer other types
of music.
"We think of contagion as a strictly negative thing,"Earn says."But that same process of
contagion functions for other things in life,"he now concludes,"like sharing favorite songs with
your closest friends.
28.Why did Earn and his team conduct their research?
A.To analyze the pattern of song spread.
B.To investigate the ways songs are grouped.
C.To count the times that the songs were downloaded.
D.To study the characters of the people who downloaded songs.

A.Electronic music covers all music types.
B.Its fans are skillful at surfing the Internet.
C.Electronic music can impress people easily.
D.Its lovers like sharing things with others better.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Contagion of Music
B.Music Spreads Online Wildly
C.How a Song Becomes Attractive
D.Frequency of Downloading Songs

The first U.S.cookbook was published in 1796,and since then,they have provided insight
into different times in American history.
Cookbooks tell us what foods were available during the period the books were written.If you
see a lot of recipes for things that are preserved for pickles(),you know that you're looking
at a time without refrigeration.In the late 1860s,many recipes started paying more attention to food
bacteria concerns and healthy-seeming foods,reflecting society's growing knowledge of both
subjects.Cookbooks show that meal planning changed in the 1930s,when refrigerators became
more common in American homes.
Early cookbooks were also lifestyle guides.So,there were not only some recipes for food,but
recipes for a cleaning solvent()or what to do when your child were poisoned,how to clean,
and how to get spots out.
Cookbooks became more diversified and regional after the Civil War.Southern writers,and
some Northern writers,began publishing cookbooks in an attempt to memorialize,and beautify,the
American South.They became very successful and they really helped to develop a sense of what
southern hospitality was.Community cookbooks,edited by more than one person,often as a
fundraiser or for charity,ultimately provide insight into what middle-class Americans were eating at
a given time,as well as a statement about neighborhoods and groups.
Cookbooks,however,sort of stop being a comprehensive reflection of society now.You really
have to think about the publishing world and who it is,where it is,and what it wants.The
publishing world doesn't necessarily have the goal of representing the truth of Americans because it
wants to make money.But publishing's control of the storytelling has loosened.Social media and
food blogs have led to the freedom of conversations around food,recipes and cooking,giving
consumers more power.
But that doesn't mean that the golden age of cookbooks is over.Cookbooks are still one of the
most popular books out there and are purchased regularly.They're very good to give as gifts.
They're very,very popular because they're sort of neutral ()And everyone loves a
cookbook,especially with beautiful pages.
32.What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A.There are always recipes to make pickles in cookbooks.
B.Refrigerators first entered American homes in the 1930s.
C.People ate more healthy foods in the late 1860s than now.
D.The cooking method changes as the equipment improves.
33.What does the fourth paragraph mainly focus on?
A.The variety of cookbooks.
B.The popularity of cookbooks.
C.The limitations of cookbooks.
D.The editors of cookbooks.

34.What weakens the power of cookbooks now?
A.New media.
B.Picky consumers.
C.Outdated content.
D.Economic downturn.
35.What does the author say about U.S.cookbooks?
A.They are all about some recipes for food.
