But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of the doctors admitted to lying to their patients? It is unforgivable, surely?Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She'd been in hospital after a fall and was in pain. She called out for him frequently and couldn't understand why he wasn't there to comfort her. She was becoming more and more distressed and would try to get up to find him, despite being at risk of falling again.“He's on his way. Don't worry,“ the nurses would say and this would calm her down. I confess I said the same thing to her. She'd smile and roll her eyes and say how he was always late fbr tings and tell the same story about him being late fbr their wedding nearly 600 years ago. But in reality, he'd died two years ago.What Mrs. Walton had is Alzheimer's disease. Sufferers lose their short term memory, but recall memories from the distant past. They are trapped forever in a confusing past that has little connection to the present, but are at a loss to explain.

Music is a powerful tool to access information about ourselves. A recent study is offering new insight into how our favorite tunes are linked to our personalities.The study spanning six continents with more than 350, 000 participants showed that personality types are linked with certain musical preferences. During the study, people from more than 50 countries self-reported their enjoyment of 23 different music genres while also completing a personality questionnaire. The researchers also had the participants listen to brief clips of music from 16 different genres of Western music and rank them.Songs like Ed Sheeran's Shivers appeal to extroverts C性格夕卜向者）,while adorable people would be happy listening to Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye. Meanwhile, open people tend to enjoy Nina Simone or David Bowie's classic Space Oddity. And all of these types of songs have appeal that cross national borders, according to the study.“ We were surprised at just how much these patterns between music and personality were alike across the globe, “ said study author David Greenberg, honorary research associate at the University of Cambridge, in a statement.“People may be divided by geography, language and culture, but if an extrovert in one part of the world likes the same music as extroverts elsewhere, that suggests that music could be a very powerful bridge. Music helps people to understand one another and find common ground.”The researchers acknowledge that musical taste isn't set in stone and can change. But the study provides a foundation for understanding how music can cross other social divisions and bring people together.8. What did participants do during the study?A. They travelled 50 countries.C. They filled in a questionnaire.B. They enjoyed 39 music clips.D. They ranked personality types.9. Who is more likely to be popular with lovely people?A. Ed Sheeran.B.

Why Music Brings People TogetherD. How Music Reflects Our PreferencesDRobots have been around for six decades or so. Originally, they were simple devices which did as they were told, working on assembly lines （流水线）in a robotic manner. They were often kept in cags to stop people getting too close. Now, they are stepping out of their cages, equipped with advanced sensors and machine learning. Clearly, the pace of automation is likely to see up, for two reasons.The first reason is that covid-19 has created social changes which look likely to continue. The "Great Resignation”, in which millions around the world have quit their jobs, may in part be a consequence of lockdowns creating new opportunities for home working. These so-called lifestyle choices about which jobs to do, together with creaking （岌岌可危的）supply chains and a boom in e-commerce, have left warehouses and many other businesses struggling to employ workers.The second reason is that the robots are getting better. In factories, they are working alongside people. Such robots will increasingly help out in other places too, including hospitals, and in roles, such as caring for an ageing society - which, post-covid, has got used to a more technological future for health care, with “telemedicine” via remote doctors and health-monitoring mobile-phone apps.Even so, the rise of robots makes some people fear for their jobs and ask how they will earn a living. There is a similar fear in health care that robots will destroy jobs. Indeed, instead of destroying jobs, robots can create them by making businesses more efficient, allowing firms to expand. As Dr. Christensen points out, for the past decade manufacturing employment in America has grown, even as the number of factory robots increased.Although some experts believe robots will enhance human capability, one problem is that regulation falls behind technology. It seems an awful lot of meetings lie ahead for roboticists and regulators to determine howmachines and people will work together.12. How is Paragraph 1 developed?A. By providing an example.C. By making a comparison.13. What is the result of the "Great Resignation”?A. The tendency to work at home.C. The development of e-commerce.14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. Experts' arguments about robots.C. People's worries about losing jobs.B. By quoting a saying.D. By explaining a concept.B. The broken-down supply chains.D. The difficulty in employing workers.B. Robots9 influence on employment.D. Improvement in business efficiency.A. Favourable.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Intolerant.15. What is the author's attitude towards the current regulation?第二节（共5小题；每小题25分，满分125分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The third Easter of CO VID-19 is upon us, and there will probably be fewer cultural events than we are used to.
