11、ut her childhood in the documentary Alive Inside, a 90-year-old woman with dementia (癡呆) replies, “Ive forgotten so much.” Filmmaker Michael Rossato Bennett then plays music from her past for her. “Thats Louis Armstrong,” she says. “Hes singing When the Saints Go Marching In and it takes me back to

12、my school days.” She then recalls exact details from her life.Why does it happen? Music tends to accompany events that arouse emotions or otherwise make strong impressions on ussuch as weddings and graduations. These kinds of experiences form strong memories, and the music and memories likely become

13、 intertwined (緊密相連) in our neural (神經的) networks, according to Julene Johnson, a professor at the University of California. Movements, such as dancing, also often pair with our experience of music, which can help form memories. Even many years later, hearing the music can bring back memories of thes

14、e long-past events.As Alive Inside shows, music has this power even for many people with dementia. Researchers note that the brain areas that process and remember music are typically less damaged by dementia than other areas, and they think it may explain the phenomenon.They also pay attention to el

15、derly people with dementia, especially those in nursing homes. “Its possible that those long-term memories are still there, “Johnson says, “but people just have a harder time accessing them because theyre in a strange place and therere not a lot of circumstances in which someone could pull out those

16、 memories.”Johnson also notes that music is not universally useful for all people with dementia since there are some people with dementia whose brain area that recognizes music is damaged.Despite musics apparent benefits, few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dement

17、ia. “Its really an untapped area,” Johnson says. Petr Janata is one researcher investigating the topic of music and memory.

29、0023（8分） Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right fami

30、ly while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hou

31、rs studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely m

32、ake you give up well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare

33、talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work

Say if her home Wi-Fi stops working, or say if the heater switch goes wrong, she would call me up anxiously, as if the whole world has

38、fallen apart. Really, theres nothing worse than not being able to enjoy life because something is stuck in your head that wont go away.So what worry actually is all about? The mind likes to anchor itself to the known. Worry is a symptom of the deep-rooted fear you experience when you have to walk in

39、to the unknown. You prefer things to be predictable. You fear that any unexpected turn in events would throw your careful planning into chaos. The more energy you give to your fears, the more anxious you become.In reality, all forms of worry represent an underlying lack of trust. You are unable to t

40、rust in the goodness of life. Even though things could turn out in a number of ways, you have a tendency to believe that things are going to turn out negative rather than positive.Negativity is only hurting you no one else. It just drains you emotionally and distracts you from the most important thi

41、ngs of life. It is sucking away the motivation that you could otherwise apply towards something positive and productive, like feeling gratitude for what you do have in your life. Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you r

42、eceive.Worrying can be helpful when it pushes you to take action and solve a problem. But if youre preoccupied with “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios (設想), worry becomes a problem. Constant doubts and fears can weaken your emotional energy, send your anxiety levels soaring, and interfere with your

43、 daily life. You can train your mind to stay calm and look at life from a more positive perspective.1、Why does the writer mention Smita at the beginning of the passage?ATo introduce the topic of the passage.BTo show the harm of modern technology.CTo give us an example for us to learn from.DTo show t
