In the case of taste he may, musically speaking, have been even more perceptive than he realized. A paper in Neurology by Giovanni Frisoni and his colleagues at the National Centre for Research and Care of Alzheimers Disease in Brescia, Italy, shows that one form of senile dementia can affect musical desires in ways that suggest a regression, if not to infancy, then at least to a patients teens.Frontotemporal dementia is caused, as its name suggests, by damage to the front and sides of the brain. These regions are concerned with speech, and with such higher functions as abstract thinking and judgment. Frontotemporal damage therefore produces different symptoms from the loss of memory associated with Alzheimers disease, a more familiar dementia that affects the hippocampus and amygdale in the middle of the brain. Frontotemporal dementia is also rarer than patients; it has seen only 46 with frontotemporal dementia.Two of those patient interested Dr. Frisoni. One was a 68-year-old lawyer, the other a 73-year-old housewife. Both had undamaged memories, but displayed the sorts of defect associated with frontotemporal dementia - a diagnosis that was confirmed by brain scanning.About two years after he was first diagnosed the lawyers, once a classical music lover who referred to pop music as mere noise, started listening to the Italian pop band 883. As his command of language and his emotional attachments to friends and family deteriorated, he continued to listen to the band at full volume for many hours a day. The housewife had not even had the lawyers love of classical music, having never enjoyed music of any sort in the past. But about a year after her diagnosis she became very interested in the songs that her 11-year-old granddaughter was listening to.This kind of change in musical taste was not seen in any of the Alzheimers patients, and thus appears to be specific to those with frontotemporal dementia. And other studies have remarked on how frontotemporal dementia patients sometimes gain new talents. Five sufferers who developed artistic abilities known. And in another lapse of musical taste, one woman with the disease suddenly started composing and singing country and western songs.Dr. Frisoni speculates that the illness is causing people to develop a new attitude towards novel experiences. Previous studies of novelty-seeking behavior suggest that it is managed by the brains right frontal lobe. A predominance of the right over the left frontal lobe, caused by damage to the latter, might thus lead to a quest for new experience. Alternatively, the damage may have affected some specific neural circuit that is needed to appreciate certain kinds of music. Whether that is a gain or a loss is a different matter. As Dr. Frisoni puts it in his article, de gustibus non disputandum est. Or, in plainer words, there is no accounting for taste.51. For Shakespeare, old age as second childishness for they have the same_.A. favoriteB. memoryC. experiencesense52. Which one is not a symptom of Frontotemporal dementia?A. the loss of memoryB. the loss of judgmentC. the loss of abstract thinkingD. the loss of speech53. From the two patients mentioned in the passage, it can be concluded that_.A. their command of language has deterioratedB. their emotional attachments to friends and family are being lostC. the Frontotemporal dementia can bring new giftsD. Frontotemporal dementia can cause patients to change their musical tastes.54. From the passage, it can be inferred that_.A. the damage of the left frontal lobe may affect some specific neural circuitB. the lawyer patient has the left frontal lobe damagedC. the damage of the left frontal lobe decreased the appreciation certain kinds of musicD. every patient has the same tastePassage TwoTo Rebuild Windows, Microsoft Razed WallsTo build its new operating system, Microsoft Corp. needed to do more than fix the flaws of its predecessor. The company also had to address major bugs in its software development process.The three-year effort to create Windows 7, which lands on store shelves this Thursday, was marked by closer collaboration between the thousands of people working on aspects of the high-stakes product - reducing communications breakdowns that contributed to delays and defects in Windows Vista, one of the companys biggest missteps.Steve Ballmer, Microsofts chief executive, also directed that software developers work more closely with computer makers, including Hewlett-Packard Co., and other PC players to head off the kinds of problems that hobbled Vista.Its too soon to tell how well the effort worked. But favorable early reviews for Windows 7 have restored some faith that the software giant can still execute in a business that accounted for more than half of its $20.36 billion in operating income during the fiscal year ended June 30.I think Microsoft knew with Windows 7 it had to work harder and right some wrongs, says Richard Barton, a Seattle entrepreneur who worked at Microsoft on Windows and other products during most of the 1990s. It looks like they are.One of Microsofts rivals, Apple Inc., believes Windows 7 will create an opening for it to lure more customers to the Macintosh, in part because of the tedious process required to upgrade to Windows 7 from PCs running Windows XP.55. What does “razed walls” in the tile actually mean?A. To destroy the obstacles of releasing its new system.B. To solve the problems and perfect its new system.C. To beat down its rivals.D. To help generating its new system.56. _ made Windows Vista a completely failure.A. Lack of practical experimenting.B. Too many bugs.C. The delay on solving customers problems.D. Inadequate exchange of information between developers.57. What kind of effort did Microsoft make to perfect its new system?A. Communicating with customers.B. Doing market research.C. Cooperating with other computer makers to avoid the appearance of same defects.D. Providing discount.58. What kind of attitude did author hold towards Microsoft?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. NeutralD. ArrogantPassage ThreeBy modern standards, the hostile summit of Mount Llullaillaco, in the Argentine Andes, is no place fro kids. The ancient Inca saw things differently though, and so it was that one day, some 500 years ago, three children ascended the frigid and treacherous upper slopes of the 22,000-ft. peak. The three had spent time at the 17,000-ft. level, taking part in rituals that can only be guessed at. Now, accompanied by a retinue of adults, they moved steadily upward. They would not return. Once at the summit, the children-two girls and a boy, between eight and 15 years old-would be ritually sacrificed and entombed beneath 5 ft. of rocky rubble. They may even have been buried alive.And there the story might have ended but for the tireless efforts of Johan Reinhard, an independent archaeologist funded by the National Geographic Society. Reinhards specialty is scaling the Andes in search of sacrificial remains; he had already located 15 bodies, including the famed ice maiden he found in 1995. But these three, whose discovery he announced last week, are by far the most impressive. They were frozen solid within hours of their burial. Two of the bodies are almost perfectly preserved; the third was evidently damaged by lightening. The childrens internal organs are not only intact but also still contain blood. Says Craig Morris, an expert on Andean archaeology at New York Citys American Museum of Natural History: It is truly a fantastic discovery.What makes it so fantastic is not just the bodies themselves, but also the wealth of artifacts that were buried along with them: 36 gold and silver statues, small woven bags, a ceramic vessel, leather sandals, a small llama figure and seashell necklaces. One of the girls, says Reinhard, Has a beautiful yellow, geometrically designed cover laid over her. Her head sports a plume of feathers and a golden mask.Some of the bodies were provisioned with bundles of food wrapped in alpaca skin, which indicates that the children came from the Incan social elite-not surprising, since only people of high st
