At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. Fortunately, people’s facial expressions, movements and positions can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds. 1 , but Joe Navarro’s book What Everybody is Saying can help develop that ability.
According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important. 2 . Most facial expressions and positions can mean several different things, so figure out when people use certain expressions. Recognizing this baseline can help you understand whether expressions and positions indicate a reaction to something you said or not.
3 . Even when people don’t lie directly, they sometimes try to hide their feelings. Whether you are communicating with people in business or in your personal life, recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own.
When people think of body language, the first thing that comes to mind is the facial expressions. Some people have become good at controlling their facial expressions to hide their emotions. When dealing with someone like that, look at the rest of their bodies, especially their feet and legs. 4 . However, if someone feels uncomfortable, they may point their feet away from the person they are speaking to.
Nearness to other people is part of body language. People stand closer to people they like or feel comfortable with than to strangers or people they don’t like. 5 .

With the rise of language apps, learning new languages seems to be much easier than ever, but actually it is unrealistic to master a language only through apps. 1 .
Be a child, watch cartoons
2 . But, at first, watching Childre’s cartoons is highly recommended, for cartoons often consist of basic phrases and words. They usually come with clearer and slower pronunciation, which will help learners understand without subtitles.
Turn the volume (音量) up
If watching cartoons is not your cup of tea, you can listen to podcasts and songs in the language. Not only can you pick up popular phrases and idioms, but you can also explore various topics to expand your vocabulary and understand the slight difference within various contexts. 3 .
Let the words flow
When practicing speaking, one runs the risk of making mistakes or embarrassing oneself, so, instead, start small. Speak to your pets or lifeless objects around the house. 4 . As you grow more confident, work up to a native speaker.
5 .
A method to put your writing skills to test is to keep a pen pal. Find someone who is not only fluent in the language you are learning, but who is also learning a language you are fluent in. Through the exchange of letters, you can practice your writing skills and provide feedback to each other. Plus, everyone gets a friend.
A.A foreign stamp
B.Depend on writing apps
C.Here are some other practical ways to help you
D.Tell them about your day or describe how you feel
E.Consuming films and shows in the language you are learning is common for learners

I would feel ashamed every time I receive a new package (包裹) on my doorstep. I know that buying new stuff is bad for the planet. But every time I buy something, I get some happiness that’s hard to give up.
Recently a new book has given me new insights: 1 It’s the way our brains have evolved (进化). And there may be a way to break the cycle.We are evolved from simple organisms that survived because their networks of nerve cells learned to repeat rewarding (有益的) decisions. Today, we have billions of action cells in the brain. They are always forming connections to strengthen rewarding behavior. 2 We seek out those releases in dopamine, and at the same time repeat the actions that lead to them.
3 Maybe you weren’t even thinking about buying watercolor paints. Then something reminded that you like painting, and you searched online and found they were less expensive than you expected. When they arrived on your doorstep, they were better than you thought. Your brain will be drawn to repeat the behavior that got you something unexpected and good.
The best way to break the overbuying habits is not to stop buying things completely.
4 Imagine you’ve formed a habit of eating chocolate before bed for comfort, even though you know you don’t need the calories. You can try having milk with cocoa powder as a healthier replacement, which provides similar comfort. Once you start losing weight, the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes will feel as good as the chocolate once does. 5 Buying used items satisfies our desire to acquire. It gives us the same good feeling of an unexpected reward without consuming more resources.
A.We need that same replacement for shopping.
B.Whether that approach would work is up for debate.
C.Our brains especially like it, and release more dopamine.
D.My desire to keep buying things isn’t necessarily a personal fault.
E.In this process, dopamine is released, helping us learn how to obtain a reward.
F.The good feeling connected to unexpected rewards is partly why we like shopping.
G.A better solution may be to replace the old, long-term harmful rewards with new ones.

If staying optimistic (乐观) is something you struggle with, you`re certainly not alone. Here are five ways you can frequently practice to be optimistic.
Be present every day
The majority of negative thoughts are about the past and future, which can`t be changed. To be present, you need to exactly figure out whether they are in the past, present or future and bring them back into the moment. 1 Give thanks
The thoughts of giving thanks can help improve your body functions and overall happiness. Start by writing down at least three things you`re thankful for each day. 2 This practice could transform into a formal habit of recalling things you`re grateful for and writing them down.
Laugh out loud
Laughter really is fantastic medicine. Loud laughs can calm the brain`s stress center. Watch one of your favorite TV plays or even try laughter yoga. It might be a good choice to reach out to others for help to laugh out loud. 3 It can help lift your mood during difficult times.
4
Acts of kindness can increase your sense of well-being. Even something as simple as giving someone a smile can leave you both feeling happier. Challenge yourself to do at least one kind thing for someone else each day, such as buying a stranger a cup of coffee or donating to a cause that matters to you.
Find time to exercise
Exercise produces pleasurable brain chemicals and relieves bad emotions. When you participate in physical activities that bring you joy, your thinking will clear.

World Wildlife Day is celebrated each year on March 3rd. This is a day that has the goal of informing the general public about the plants and wild animals in the world. So you can do many things to celebrate this day.
As we all know, litter can be harmful to birds, fish, and other wildlife. Therefore, make an effort to pick up any litter that you see. 1
You can visit an aquarium or zoo near you, because aquariums and zoos help a lot with endangered species, allowing their populations to increase. 2 Thus, World Wildlife Day is the perfect day to pay a local aquarium or zoo a visit.
If possible, try to learn about the plants and wild animals near you. You can do some research about local wildlife. You can also research some of the threats to these plants and wild animals. 3 For example, if one of the primary threats an animal faces is litter, be sure to deal with it properly, and pick up any litter you see.
If you like, you can plant a garden with native tree, bush and flower species. 4 To plant them in the garden accordingly, it is necessary to do some research beforehand on trees, bushes and flowers that are native to your area and where they would grow best.
5 There are a variety of organizations that help wildlife in different ways. If you have a specific species that you’d like to support, or even if you’d just like to help wildlife in general, there might be an organization somewhere that you can join and assist with their efforts.

What to Do If Your Personal Data Has Been Exposed
As more of our lives move online, the risk of our personal data being stolen or misused is increasing. Online criminals can use stolen data to target people with leading messages to get important information. 1 . Here are some ways to protect yourself.
Change your password
When your info shows up in a breach (泄露), it doesn’t mean someone’s stolen your identity or money. 2 . If your data has been breached, the first thing you should do is change your password. Use a strong, long password including letters, numbers and symbols. And if you have been using the same password for different accounts, make changes to it for each site. 3
It can be hard to follow all the different data breaches. When public data breaches occur, cyber criminals gather as much data as possible so they can sell it on the dark web. Luckily, there are online services that you can look at to see if your account has been involved in a data breach. For example, a tool called Breach Watch is offered online to keep watch on the dark web to see if your personal information shows up there.
Tell your bank and credit agencies
If your credit card payment numbers are stolen, inform your bank or credit card company. Ask them to warn you of any suspicious activity. Some banks and credit cards can lock your account online. You can also inform credit agencies. 4 . That makes it hard to see your credit report and open a new account. Or they will ask lenders to contact you before lending money.
Take extra care
Breaches involving a telephone company leave buyers at risk of having their phone numbers stolen. Thieves can use a stolen number to enter accounts that use the phone number as a security. To reduce that risk, it is advisable to create a password that is needed to make large account changes. 5 . That will help block possible damage by someone who gains entry to your email account.
A.Keep monitoring
B.They can freeze your credit
C.But it does mean you’re at risk
D.Follow all the possible data breaches
E.Also, delete emails containing personal information
F.Or they can take out loans and credit cards in their name
G.If you find it hard to memorize all your passwords, consider a password manager

Unaided, we can’t do anything without our feet. So why, when our quality of life is directly related to being active, do many of us ignore these two vital parts of our body?
1 In 2021, a study over arise in foot tissues and how poor foot health affects everything from physical activity to the overall health of able-bodied people was conducted. “Foot problems can reduce quality of life, lead to loss of balance, make it difficult to put on shoes and increase the risk of falling,” the authors wrote in the journal Scientific Reports. Meanwhile, a 2017 study, also in Spain, of able-bodied university students confirmed this too. 2 It increased their risk of being socially cutoff.
If foot pain limits your activity a and lasts more than a week, says Paul Langer, a sports-medicine podiatrist (足疗医生), it’s time to see a doctor for foot treatment. 3 They’re like the base of the Tower of Pisa. When they’re off, the tower leans (倾斜).
Therefore, keeping our foot happy is rather critical. 4 Experts say every move we make creates a chain reaction in our muscles, and joints.
The foot is the driver of all movement. 5 If afoot doesn’t work normally, it can drive everything up the chain to be of disfunction, too. The key to a healthy foot is strength and mobility through the hips (臀部). Therefore our feet need help from their friends above to keep them working properly.
A.Spanish scientists expressed concern.
B.All of this can affect activities of daily living.
C.In fact, seeking help from experts is the best way.
D.Poor foot health prevented them from being physically active.
E.Taking care of your feet sometimes begins elsewhere in your body.
F.When the foot hits the ground, everything else in the body changes.
G.If the feet aren’t performing properly, they throw everything else off.

Meanwhile, it is possible to relieve yourself of pressure when you master how to organize your tasks and responsibilities with weekly to-do lists. A to-do list is a schedule that lists items (条目) you need do to enable you to simplify your life and improve task management. 1 Follow these steps to get yourself ready for the week ahead with a simple to-do list.
Started by developing multiple lists, which should contain: Master list, Weekly project list and HIT list. 2 Your project list contains all the tasks that demand your attention within the next seven days.

Every evening, identify the items you need to move from weekly list to HIT list for the next day.
3 Don’t have an item such as “work on a Kindle book.” Instead, you could have something like: write the book outline on Monday, write the first chapter on Tuesday, and the next chapter the following day.
Further, you should support every item on your weekly to-do list with information to complete the task. For instance, if an item says “register for a course,” you should include the website and course title. 4
You have 10,080 minutes each week to complete all the tasks on your weekly to do lists. 5 For instance: Write the introduction from 9 am-12 pm, clean the bathtub from 4-5 pm, pick up some groceries at the supermarket from 5-6 pm. Once you finish an item, move on to the next.

In the 1960s and 1970s, some writers and university professors called themselves “futurists”. These futurists tried to forecast the future. 1 The problem was that none of these futurists were scientists or engineers. So, while they knew the future would have more powerful computers, they had no clue what these computers would look like, what they could do, or what impact they would have on our lives.
2 Having said that, we can make some good guesses about future technology by looking at current scientific and technological advances. We can also ask the real experts: the scientists and engineers who are bringing us these advances.
Because so much of our daily life will be integrated with computers, virtual reality will become an actual, real reality for many of us. This virtual world will at times seem as real as — if not more real than — the actual world around us. Without leaving home, you will be able to take tours of foreign countries, or even get a medical exam by a doctor in another city.
3 There is already, for example, technology which will allow blind people to see using cameras and deaf people to hear using microphones that are connected to their brains. Future technology will allow people to defeat all sorts of physical disabilities.
Much research is being done to unlock the human mind. Using technology that is being developed now, people in the future may be able to not just read someone else’s mind, but also record their thoughts like one would record a movie. 4 For example, robot hands are being developed for people who have no hands. These artificial hands are connected to a person’s nerves so that the person’s brain tells the hands what to do.
As a result of such advances, in the future, some people who are badly injured may become more robot than human. 5
We should all eagerly view the future as a great adventure — a new world waiting to be explored. Who knows exactly what we will find?
A.Speaking of medicine, people with brain injuries will be able to find new hope.
B.That is, their brains will control their robotic body parts so they can live their lives normally.
C.Only a few of their predictions were right, and all of them missed the computer revolution.
D.Artificial hands are made stronger and faster than human ones and work very well.
E.Some other research involves using robotic technology to replace human functions.
F.Many new parts will be made to replace broken human body ones.
G.This should make us hesitate before we try to predict the future.

Gift baskets are a popular gift choice. The key idea behind such a basket is that you are giving someone several smaller gifts instead of a larger one. 1 And the entire package is attractively wrapped in cellophane (玻璃纸).
Gift baskets are almost always themed. They can be tailored to the recipients’(接受者) interests. Books and pens can be given to a writer. New lipstick and nail polish colors are always good choices for a make-up enthusiast. 2
A gift basket doesn’t have to be a basket. 3 This can be a chance to really highlight the theme. A gift basket for a gardening enthusiast could consist of seed packets, a nice pair of work gloves and a new gardening tool inside a terracotta pot or a watering can. For a movie fan, wrap a few DVDs and some popcorn in a fun serving bowl.
4 Pre-made gift baskets sit on the shelf already wrapped and ready for purchase. This is gift-giving at its easiest. Besides, some stores also offer gift baskets created right before your eyes. They allow you to select the items you would like in your basket, and then they’ll arrange and wrap the items for you. What’s more, you can also bring the contents home and make baskets only by yourself. Homemade ones allow you to have total control over the design.
Whether you create the gift baskets by your-self or not, they are excellent presents for any occasion. 5 They can be a unique way to express your appreciation and thoughtfulness and are sure to make the recipients feel special and appreciated.
A.Any container will do.
B.Not everyone likes small gift baskets.
C.These small items are usually packed in a container.
D.So don’t forget to make some for those you care about.
E.The best containers can be used long after the contents are gone.
F.Whatever they look like, gift baskets can be separated into three types.
G.These highly personalized baskets can make recipients especially enjoy receiving them.

Creativity is the skill of thinking up new and different ideas and solutions. 1 It comes out in the way we do all sorts of-things, such as solving riddles, playing games or dreaming up new ideas.
Neuroscientists describe creativity as the brain’s way of coming up with an idea that is original, new or different. Some people make art, music or paintings. 2 You can be creative in anything you enjoy, such as baking, inventing games or playing with numbers. “The best thing about creativity is that there’s no right or wrong way to do it — it’s about finding ways to have fun,” says Rakhee Jasani, a writer who helps people discover their creativity.
3 It can relieve stress, give you energy and help you feel calm. “It’s like taking a deep breath when we’re feeling stressed,”Jasani explains. “Doing something creative that we enjoy is sometimes just for ourselves — it helps us to express how we’re feeling so that we feel stronger and prouder. ”
Exercising can make your body strong. 4 Think of a time when you’ve solved a problem, finished a jigsaw puzzle — this is your creative brain at work.
Neuroscientists say that being creative means your brain has to mix up different “mental representations” in order to come up with something new or different. Mental representations are the images your mind creates — like when you dream of flying or imagine yourself travelling somewhere you’ve never actually been. We can all be creative in our own way. You can’t be bad at it. 5

B.But that’s not the only way to be creative.

G.Creativity is the way you use your imagination to express yourself.

Every culture has its own music. 1 All types of music have one thing in common: it brings people together.
There are many festivals held in various communities. 2 Without music, a celebration will be effectively incomplete. Music allows us to dance and be completely ourselves in front of our peers. When music is playing and people are dancing, you feel a sense of belonging to your culture.
Music is always present in our lives. It can be a huge part of our life no matter where we live or how old we are. Our parents play us music or sing to us when we are young. People schedule a time to relax and listen to their favorite music. 3
4 There’s a reason why parents sing to their babies before they’re born. They will be able to learn a language by listening to music. The alphabet, taught through a song, is one of the most important skills you learned as a child. To be sure, learning a language through song is easier than trying to memorize a sentence in a completely different language.
Music also assists us in discovering our identities. 5 As they grow older, they begin to have our own musical tastes. That is often their first act of defiance (挑战) against their parents. They figure out who they want to be, and music can play an important role in this process.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些通过肢体语言了解别人想法的诀窍。
1.根据上文“At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. Fortunately, people’s facial expressions, movements and positions can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds. (有时我们都希望知道别人在想什么。幸运的是,人们的面部表情、动作和姿势可以很好地传达他们的想法。)”以及后文“but Joe Navarro’s book What Everybody is Saying can help develop that ability. ( 但乔·纳瓦罗的书《人人都在说什么》可以帮助培养这种能力。)”可知,后文与本句构成转折关系,推测本句是在说明理解肢体语言存在的困难。故G选项“理解隐藏在人们肢体语言中的信息需要很多技巧”符合语境,故选G。
2.根据上文“According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important. (根据纳瓦罗的说法,为一个人的行为建立一个底线是很重要的。)”可知,本句解释上文,说明为什么为一个人的行为建立一个底线是很重要。故D选项“这有助于避免误解他们的肢体语言”符合语境,故选D。
3.根据后文“Even when people don’t lie directly, they sometimes try to hide their feelings.

I would feel ashamed every time I receive a new package (包裹) on my doorstep. I know that buying new stuff is bad for the planet. But every time I buy something, I get some happiness that’s hard to give up.
Recently a new book has given me new insights: 1 It’s the way our brains have evolved (进化). And there may be a way to break the cycle.We are evolved from simple organisms that survived because their networks of nerve cells learned to repeat rewarding (有益的) decisions. Today, we have billions of action cells in the brain. They are always forming connections to strengthen rewarding behavior. 2 We seek out those releases in dopamine, and at the same time repeat the actions that lead to them.
3 Maybe you weren’t even thinking about buying watercolor paints. Then something reminded that you like painting, and you searched online and found they were less expensive than you expected. When they arrived on your doorstep, they were better than you thought. Your brain will be drawn to repeat the behavior that got you something unexpected and good.
The best way to break the overbuying habits is not to stop buying things completely.
4 Imagine you’ve formed a habit of eating chocolate before bed for comfort, even though you know you don’t need the calories. You can try having milk with cocoa powder as a healthier replacement, which provides similar comfort. Once you start losing weight, the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes will feel as good as the chocolate once does. 5 Buying used items satisfies our desire to acquire. It gives us the same good feeling of an unexpected reward without consuming more resources.
A.We need that same replacement for shopping.
B.Whether that approach would work is up for debate.
C.Our brains especially like it, and release more dopamine.
D.My desire to keep buying things isn’t necessarily a personal fault.
E.In this process, dopamine is released, helping us learn how to obtain a reward.
F.The good feeling connected to unexpected rewards is partly why we like shopping.
G.A better solution may be to replace the old, long-term harmful rewards with new ones.

What to Do If Your Personal Data Has Been Exposed
As more of our lives move online, the risk of our personal data being stolen or misused is increasing. Online criminals can use stolen data to target people with leading messages to get important information. 1 . Here are some ways to protect yourself.
Change your password
When your info shows up in a breach (泄露), it doesn’t mean someone’s stolen your identity or money. 2 . If your data has been breached, the first thing you should do is change your password. Use a strong, long password including letters, numbers and symbols. And if you have been using the same password for different accounts, make changes to it for each site. 3
It can be hard to follow all the different data breaches. When public data breaches occur, cyber criminals gather as much data as possible so they can sell it on the dark web. Luckily, there are online services that you can look at to see if your account has been involved in a data breach. For example, a tool called Breach Watch is offered online to keep watch on the dark web to see if your personal information shows up there.
Tell your bank and credit agencies
If your credit card payment numbers are stolen, inform your bank or credit card company. Ask them to warn you of any suspicious activity. Some banks and credit cards can lock your account online. You can also inform credit agencies. 4 . That makes it hard to see your credit report and open a new account. Or they will ask lenders to contact you before lending money.
Take extra care
Breaches involving a telephone company leave buyers at risk of having their phone numbers stolen. Thieves can use a stolen number to enter accounts that use the phone number as a security. To reduce that risk, it is advisable to create a password that is needed to make large account changes. 5 . That will help block possible damage by someone who gains entry to your email account.
A.Keep monitoring
B.They can freeze your credit
C.But it does mean you’re at risk
D.Follow all the possible data breaches
E.Also, delete emails containing personal information
F.Or they can take out loans and credit cards in their name
G.If you find it hard to memorize all your passwords, consider a password manager
【答案】1.F 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.E
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了如果你的个人资料外泄,你该怎么办。
1.根据上文“Online criminals can use stolen data to target people with leading messages to get important information. (网络犯罪分子可以利用窃取的数据,向人们发送诱导性信息,以获取重要信息。)”可知,空格处进一步说明网路犯罪分子利用窃取的信息所做的事情。选项F.

Unaided, we can’t do anything without our feet. So why, when our quality of life is directly related to being active, do many of us ignore these two vital parts of our body?
1 In 2021, a study over arise in foot tissues and how poor foot health affects everything from physical activity to the overall health of able-bodied people was conducted. “Foot problems can reduce quality of life, lead to loss of balance, make it difficult to put on shoes and increase the risk of falling,” the authors wrote in the journal Scientific Reports. Meanwhile, a 2017 study, also in Spain, of able-bodied university students confirmed this too. 2 It increased their risk of being socially cutoff.
If foot pain limits your activity a and lasts more than a week, says Paul Langer, a sports-medicine podiatrist (足疗医生), it’s time to see a doctor for foot treatment. 3 They’re like the base of the Tower of Pisa. When they’re off, the tower leans (倾斜).
Therefore, keeping our foot happy is rather critical. 4 Experts say every move we make creates a chain reaction in our muscles, and joints.
The foot is the driver of all movement. 5 If afoot doesn’t work normally, it can drive everything up the chain to be of disfunction, too. The key to a healthy foot is strength and mobility through the hips (臀部). Therefore our feet need help from their friends above to keep them working properly.
A.Spanish scientists expressed concern.
B.All of this can affect activities of daily living.
C.In fact, seeking help from experts is the best way.
D.Poor foot health prevented them from being physically active.
E.Taking care of your feet sometimes begins elsewhere in your body.
F.When the foot hits the ground, everything else in the body changes.
G.If the feet aren’t performing properly, they throw everything else off.

In the 1960s and 1970s, some writers and university professors called themselves “futurists”. These futurists tried to forecast the future. 1 The problem was that none of these futurists were scientists or engineers. So, while they knew the future would have more powerful computers, they had no clue what these computers would look like, what they could do, or what impact they would have on our lives.
2 Having said that, we can make some good guesses about future technology by looking at current scientific and technological advances. We can also ask the real experts: the scientists and engineers who are bringing us these advances.
Because so much of our daily life will be integrated with computers, virtual reality will become an actual, real reality for many of us. This virtual world will at times seem as real as — if not more real than — the actual world around us. Without leaving home, you will be able to take tours of foreign countries, or even get a medical exam by a doctor in another city.
3 There is already, for example, technology which will allow blind people to see using cameras and deaf people to hear using microphones that are connected to their brains. Future technology will allow people to defeat all sorts of physical disabilities.
Much research is being done to unlock the human mind. Using technology that is being developed now, people in the future may be able to not just read someone else’s mind, but also record their thoughts like one would record a movie. 4 For example, robot hands are being developed for people who have no hands. These artificial hands are connected to a person’s nerves so that the person’s brain tells the hands what to do.
As a result of such advances, in the future, some people who are badly injured may become more robot than human. 5
We should all eagerly view the future as a great adventure — a new world waiting to be explored. Who knows exactly what we will find?
A.Speaking of medicine, people with brain injuries will be able to find new hope.
B.That is, their brains will control their robotic body parts so they can live their lives normally.
C.Only a few of their predictions were right, and all of them missed the computer revolution.
D.Artificial hands are made stronger and faster than human ones and work very well.
E.Some other research involves using robotic technology to replace human functions.
F.Many new parts will be made to replace broken human body ones.
G.This should make us hesitate before we try to predict the future.

Exercising can make your body strong. 4 Think of a time when you’ve solved a problem, finished a jigsaw puzzle — this is your creative brain at work.
Neuroscientists say that being creative means your brain has to mix up different “mental representations” in order to come up with something new or different. Mental representations are the images your mind creates — like when you dream of flying or imagine yourself travelling somewhere you’ve never actually been. We can all be creative in our own way. You can’t be bad at it. 5
A.Every single one of us has a creative. side.
B.But that’s not the only way to be creative.

Every culture has its own music. 1 All types of music have one thing in common: it brings people together.
There are many festivals held in various communities. 2 Without music, a celebration will be effectively incomplete. Music allows us to dance and be completely ourselves in front of our peers. When music is playing and people are dancing, you feel a sense of belonging to your culture.
Music is always present in our lives. It can be a huge part of our life no matter where we live or how old we are. Our parents play us music or sing to us when we are young. People schedule a time to relax and listen to their favorite music. 3
4 There’s a reason why parents sing to their babies before they’re born. They will be able to learn a language by listening to music. The alphabet, taught through a song, is one of the most important skills you learned as a child. To be sure, learning a language through song is easier than trying to memorize a sentence in a completely different language.
Music also assists us in discovering our identities. 5 As they grow older, they begin to have our own musical tastes. That is often their first act of defiance (挑战) against their parents. They figure out who they want to be, and music can play an important role in this process.
A.Music is extremely personal.
B.Most of them include music.
