2．One of the Queen's closest relatives and oldest friends was allowed to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals．Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors，this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives-not only throughout the Queen's rule but also through that of her father，King George VI．
The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty's cousin and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes．It tells in details the story of Mrs．Rhodes's relationship with the Royal family over eight decades．The book，with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures，has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen，who has read and approved parts of it．

In this charming autobiography，she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly．One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside，she suddenly returned and said，"Could you bear to live in the suburb？""I think it should be OK．"Therefore Mrs．Rhodes is now still living there．

1．For some people，music is no fun at all．About four percent of the population is what scientists call"amusic．"People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes （音调）．Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs．Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale．
As a result，songs sound like noise to an amusic．Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other．Life can be hard for amusics．Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others．It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition．In fact，most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic．Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful．That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music．However，this can result in withdrawal and social isolation．"I used to hate parties，"says Margaret，a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic．By studying people like Margaret，scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition．
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music．The difference is complex，and it doesn't involve defective hearing． Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well．They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech．Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see certain colors．
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed．For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music．Now she knows that she is not alone．There is a name for her condition．That makes it easier for her to explain．"When people invite me to a concert，I just say，‘No thanks，I'm amusic，'"says Margaret．"I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy．"

A．has a hearing problem

C．dislikes listening to speeches
D．lacks a complex hearing system
26．What is the passage mainly concerned with？B

D．Identification and treatment of amusics．
