30、Reading Comprehension60 Why do people always want to get up and dance when they hear music? The usual explanation is that there is something embedded in every culturethat dancing is a “cultural universal“. A researcher in Manchester thinks the impulse may be more deeply rooted than that. He says it
31、may be a reflex reaction.Neil Todd, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, told the BA that he first got an inkling that biology was the key after watching people dance to deafeningly loud music. “There is a compulsion about it. “ he says. He reckoned there might be a more direct, biologica
32、l, explanation for the desire to dance, so he started to look at the inner ear.The human ear has two main functions, hearing and maintaining balance. The standard view is that these tasks are segregated so that organs for balance, for instance, do not have an acoustic function. But Todd says animal
33、studies have shown that the sacculus, which is part of the balance-regulating vestibular system, has retained some sensitivity to sound. The sacculus is especially sensitive to extremely loud noise, above 70 decibel.“ There s no question that in a contemporary dance environment, the sacculus will be
34、 stimulated. “ says Todd. The average rave, he says, blares music at a painful 110 to 140 decibels. But no one really knows what an acoustically stimulated sacculus does. Todd speculates that listening to extremely loud music is a form of “vestibular self-stimulation“ : it gives a heightened sensati
35、on of motion. “We dont know exactly why it causes pleasure. “ he says. “But we know that people go to extraordinary lengths to get it. “ He list bungee jumping, playing on swings or even rocking to and fro in a rocking chair as other example of pursuits designed to stimulate the sacculus.The same pu
36、lsing that makes us feel as though we are moving may make us get up and dance as well, says Todd. Loud music sends signals to the inner ear which may prompt reflex movement. “The typical pulse rate of dance music is around the rate of locomotion. “ he says, “Its quite possible you re triggering a sp
37、inal reflex. “61 The passage begins with_.（A）a new explanation of music（B） a cultural universal questioned（C） a common psychological abnormality（D）a deep insight into human physical movements62 What intrigued Todd was_.（A）human instinct reflexes（B） people s biological heritages（C） people s compulsio
38、n about loud music（D）the damages loud music wrecks on human hearing63 Todd s biological explanation for the desire to dance refers to_.（A）the mechanism of hearing sounds（B） the response evoked from the sacculus（C） the two main functions performed by the human ear（D）the segregation of the hearing and
39、 balance maintaining function64 When the sacculus is acoustically stimulated, according to Todd, _.（A）functional balance will be maintained in the ear（B） pleasure will be aroused（C） decibel will shoot up（D）hearing will occur65 What is the passage mainly about?（A）The human ear does more than hearing
40、than expected.（B） Dancing is capable of heighten the sensation of hearing.（C） Loud music stimulates the inner ear and generates the urge to dance.（D）The human inner ear does more to help hear than to help maintain balance. 65 Have you switched off your computer? How about your television? Your video
41、? Your CD player? And even your coffee percolator? Really switched them off, not just pressed the button on some control panel and left your machine with a telltale bright red light warning you that it is ready to jump back to life at your command?Because if you haven t, you are one of the guilty pe
42、ople who help pollute the planet. It doesn t matter if you ve joined the neighborhood recycling scheme, conscientiously sorted your garbage and avoided driving to work. You still can t sleep easy while just one of those little red lights is glowing in the dark.The awful truth is that household and o
43、ffice electrical appliances left on stand-by mode are gobbling up energy, even though they are doing absolutely nothing. Some electronic productssuch as CD players-can use almost as much energy on stand-by as they do when running. Others may use a lot less, but as your video player spend far more ho
44、urs on stand-by than playing anything, the wastage soon adds up.In the US alone, idle electronic devices consume enough energy to power cities with the energy needs of Chicago or Londoncosting consumers around $ 1 billion a year. Power stations fill the atmosphere with carbon dioxide just to do abso
45、lutely nothing.Thoughtless design is partly responsible for the waste. But manufactures only get away with designing products that waste energy this way because consumers are not sensitive enough to the issue. Indeed, while recycling has caught the public imagination, reducing waste has attracted mu
46、ch less attention.But “source reduction“ , as the garbage experts like to call the art of not using what you dont need to use, offers enormous potential for reducing waste of all kinds. With a little intelligent shopping, you can cut waste long before you reach the end of the chain.Packaging remains
47、 the big villain. One of the hidden consequences of buying products grown or made all around the world, rather than produced locally, is the huge amount of packaging. To help cut the waste and encourage intelligent manufacturers the simplest trick is to look for ultra-light package.The same argument
48、s apply to the very light but strong plastic bottles that are replacing heavier glass alternatives, thin-walled aluminum cans, and cartons made of composites that wrap up anything drinkable in an ultra-light package.There are hundreds of other tricks you can discuss with colleagues while gathering a
49、round the proverbial water coolerfilling up, naturally, your own mug rather than a disposable plastic cup. But you don t need to go as far as one website which tells you how to give your friends unwrapped Christmas presents. There are limits to source correctness.66 From the first two paragraphs, the author implies that_.（A）hi-tech has made life easy everywhere（B） nobody seems to be innocent in polluting the planet（C） recycling
