7.Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other.Then one day,Sue saw Jim's music collection.She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned.At that moment,she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking.Sue said,"I thought we had nothing in common(相同)until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls."They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality.As part of a test at the University of Texas,Austin,USA,volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs.The volunteers then listened to each other's CDs and made guesses about the CD creator's personality-outgoing,adventurous,happy,and so on.These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others'personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.For example,Sue and Jim love punk music,which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative.People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong(jazz) fans tend to(倾向于) be shy.The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.
Title:Music and(62)Personality
An opinion•Your (63)tastein music is related to your personality.
Findings•One's clothes or taste in films is (64)lessimportant than his/her CDs in a test of guessing about one's personality.
•It is (65)likelythat hip-hop fans are energetic and talkative.
•People who(66)likerock or pop music are usually independent and adventurous.
•Jazz fans tend to be(67)seriousand intelligent.
•It's(68)surprisingthat rap and heavy metal fans are shier and quieter than many other music lovers
An(69)example•(70)ThoughSue and Jim were neighbours for five years,they were never interested in each other.
•After Sue noticed they both had rare punk rock CDs,she found they had*(71)something in common.
•They are now married and living with each other.

19.It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse.My family did not know how long he would stay in the world.I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him.As I drove to the hospital,I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me.Trying to fight back the tears,I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.
When I got to the hospital,I hurriedly looked for his hospital room.I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒状态).On my knees,I said softly,"Hello,Grandpa."
Still feeling shy,I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know.While I asked about how he was,he told me,"I'll be fine,Henry."although we both knew that wasn't true.Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.
Hearing what my grandpa said,I was much moved.I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him.As I found all the courage(勇气) I had,I hold his hand tightly.I cried out,"Grandpa,I just want to let you know how much I love you.I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure."By this time,the tears were rolling down my face.All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know,become free.
Smiling,he said,"I know.Thank you for telling me that.""All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them.If there is anything I could ask of you,I want you to be good to your family:your mother,your father,and your brother.That's all I want of you."
From then on,I began telling people how much I loved them,cared for them,and respected them.I get in touch with,for example,my babysitter,my barber,to show my appreciation.I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless.I wake up every morning and list everything I'm thankful to in my life.
