There's a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy -- the former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor laughingly.But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide they're not so different after all.Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industry--even before the voices of actors were recorded.In movies，music helps to provide a sense of time and place，express ideas about the characters and，most importantly，draw emotions out of the audience.
   Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear.Using this knowledge，composers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences.Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect，bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality.The use of dissonant tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension.Humans naturally become anxious when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually combined with danger，like those that animals make to warn against predators（捕食者）.
   As important as it is，the best film music is subtle.All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion--they shouldn't realize what's causing it.Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.
   In keeping with this principle，some filmmakers are even using what's called "infrasound"（次聲波）to cause fear.While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency（頻率）is below the range of the human ear，infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety，tremble and even sorrow.For example，infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity，and audiences were at extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie. "It doesn't affect everyone equally，" said British science writer Philip Ball，author of The Music Instinct，but he predicted that "we will see more of it used in movies in the future."

1．Why should mankind explore space？Why should money，time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits？Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth？These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked.
   Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments？The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
   Nearly every successful civilization has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge，we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge，we can lessen its effects.
   Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products （副產(chǎn)品） of technological developments in the space industry!
   While many resources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allows creative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers.The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
   While Earth is the only planet known to support life，surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different，but human life cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

（1）What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2？

A．Humans are nature-born to do so.
B．Humans have the tendency to fight.
C．Humans may find new sources of food.
D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place.
（2）The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to

.
A．survival chances
B．potential resources
C．unexpected benefits
D．physical possessions
（3）What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets？

A．Our genetic makeup
B．Resources on the earth
C．The adaptive ability of humans
D．By-products in space exploration
（4）Which of the statements can best sum up the passage？

A．Space exploration has created many wonders.
B．Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

2．Hunger has been troubling the world.In 2016，the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time.It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.
   The UN figures that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia，which is of course the world's most populous continent.More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.Although this place has a much lower population than Asia，it has the highest percentage of hungry people.Almost all of the rest are in Latin America，North Africa and the Caribbean.
   There are many reasons for world hunger.They include wars，droughts，floods，and the overuse of farmland.All these factors affect food production.Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market.In fact，many people are starving just because they're poor.Therefore，the most important reason，quite simply，is poverty.If we can't pull out this root，we'll never be able to solve food shortage.
   Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller，few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food，but its distribution.In the last 50 years，global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population.
   There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.In those places，being overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger.The answer to world hunger，therefore，may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world.Everyone will have enough to eat，but not to overeat.

（1）14.Which continent has the highest rate of hungry people？

A．Asia.
B．Africa.
C．America.
D．Europe.
（2）15.According to the last paragraph，

results in the poverty.
A．not enough production
B．slow growth of food
C．consuming too much food
D．imbalance of food distribution
（3）16.Maybe the author would write about

if there were a sixth paragraph.
A．how to make food distribution balanced
B．when to get rid of world hunger thoroughly
C．who is to blame for the world hunger
D．what to do to help the hungry people

   Furthermore，reading is a hobby that can be enjoyed by almost anyone.It's inexpensive，easy to fit into your plan and can be done just about anywhere.It doesn't require special equipment or supplies，and you can do it alone or with others.The last way to avoid feeling bored inside is to spend time outdoors.Find a place to go where you can get away from the noise and other troubles.You may find that being outside offers a sense of peace and calmness.
   Boredom is a common part of life，so we shouldn't try to avoid it completely.Boredom can be a sign that you need a change in your daily life and something new to try.If you find yourself feeling bored，use these ideas to find new hobbies.After all，hobbies can greatly enrich your life and help you feel more satisfied!
