A study of 500,000 songs released(发行)in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music has decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.
In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science,researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood."‘Happiness’is going down,‘sadness’ is going up,and at the same time,the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party-like,’"co-author Natalia L.Komarova told The Associated Press.
The study found songs in 2014 like "Stay With Me"by Sam Smith,"Whispers" by Passenger and "Unmissable" by Gorgon City to have a "low happiness" trend.However,tracks from 1985 like "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen,"Would I Lie To You?" by Eurythmics and "Freedom"by Wham had a high "happiness" trend."The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year," the researchers wrote.
Apart from the emotional trends,researcheis discovered that dance and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a "clear downward trend",with the popularity oF rock beginning in the early 2000s."So it looks like,while the overall mood is becoming less happy,people seem to want to forget it all and dance," Komarova wrote in an email.
It was also found that the "maleness" of songs——the frequency of male singers in popular music——had decreased during the last 30 years "Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs,"they Wrote.
This discovery appears at a time when the convcrsation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height,with more male artists and songwriters.
28.The researchers examined lots of songs to .
A.find songs for dance and party
B.choose songs for a journal
C.release more songs

C.Gorgon City’s. D.Bruce Springsteen’s.
30.What do we know about songs over the past three decades?
A.Rock became popular in the early 2000s.
B.Fewer unhappy songs come to light every year.
C.Male singers are better at perrorming pop music.
D.Female artists are less skilled in writing songs.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?

B.Music Calls for Sex Equality
C.Pop Music Has a Long History

A new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gases may reduce important nutrients(营养物质)in food crops
Researchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice, In the experiment, scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan.They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century.Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had,on average,13 t0 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein(蛋白质)The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions However, vitamin E leveLs increased by about 13 percent on average.
The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most sevcre for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries.These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets.That includes abour 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia,Myanmar,Bangladesh,Laos and other nations,mainly in Southeast Asia.
Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production.But scientists are finding that rising levcls of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases threaten food quality.
Earlier studies showed that wheat,rice,field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had Iower levels of protein and mincrais.Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.
The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change.That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.
32.Growing rice under high carbon dioxide conditions may____.
A.increase iron in the rice
B.make it less nutritious
C.cause losses of Vitamin E

Parking rules are rules for a reason——and I'm reminding everyone why it's so important to follow them.
My son, Cary, was born with a brain bleeding which leads to difficulties of movement and speech. As a result, Cary uses a wheelchair. A week ago, I was leaving a doctor's appointment with my son when I noticed a car parked over the blue lines of a parking lot, making it difficult for Cary to get into our car. We had to wait for the car owner to come out of the store, who said she didn't know what the lines meant. At the time of his birth, we had no clue to the struggles we would meet with while raising a child with special needs. Sometimes, even people with disabilities don't understand how important it is not to park over the blue lines. And this issue is what we face every day. After talking with many friends and families, we noticed that many people just do not know what those lines are for. My husband and I made the decision to use social media as a way to raise awareness for Cary and his condition. We try our best to be positive instead of blaming people just because they do not know. Our intention is only to remind the public and friends who might not know how important it is to watch the lines when parking. I hope people can be more conscious of their actions and continue helping those in need.
