We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.But according to a recent study published in the Current Biology, music doesnt speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called musical anhedonia. They say that those who have this condition may have few abilities to experience pleasure from music.For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction, which are considered physiological measures of feelings.According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweatedmore. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs which the others in the study experienced.The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that there are people who specifically cant enjoy music at allTo study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow to the reward system in the brain. People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when they were listening to music.The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brains reward system will be inactive. And it will produce less of the pleasure chemical dopamine. As a result, people get less pleasure from music.If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just dont get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tune isnt one of them.（1）The people who is called musical anhedonia _. A . avoid listening to musicB . like to listen to certain types of musicC . cant feel the pleasure that music brings to othersD . believe cultural differences are larger than music（2）What was the purpose of the study mentioned in Current Biology? A . To learn what music people love the most.B . To learn how music influences peoples feelings.C . To understand the relationship between music and the body.D . To see whether music works in the same way for all people.（3）What happened in the study when people listened to music? A . All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more.B . Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow.C . They showed different physical signs as the music changed.D . Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced.（4）Which part of a magazine may the article appear in? A . Science.B . Sports.C . Health.D . Fashion.17. （10分）阅读理解Christmas Singing Competition 2016Entry Form （参赛表）Singers NameSingers AgeCompetition TypeMusicAgeSingingBring your own CD, Prepare 2 songs13-19 year olds onlyPrizesEntry DateFee1st, 2ndand 3rdBefore November 30, 2016NoneCompetition RulesRelatives of judges（评委）and organizers are not allowed to take part in the competition.All singers must be between 13 and 19 years of ageSingers aged 17 or younger need the permission of a parent to take part (See Parent Permission below)All singers must arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the competition.

People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and blood type AB is the least common.In 1927, a Japanese doctor found that people with different blood types have different personalities（性格）, too. He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious; people with type B blood are cheerful and outgoing; people with type O blood are generous（慷慨的）and honest; while those with type AB blood are often caring and creative.More recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that connects blood types with what people eat.
