She treasured her little garden and the lives she created with tiny seeds (种子 ). I remember the happiness on her face when she showed me what had grown.One day in high school, I passed through a gardening store, hoping to find something that I could use for my art piece. I had no luck finding one, so I decided to take bags of 1seeds home instead. I had never planted anything in my life.For some reason, these colorful seed packets attracted me.

You play as the mother of a frog who lives alone and enjoys travelling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.The games popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness(孤独) for a short time.Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian(英国卫报), about 40 percent of American adults say theyre lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are always or often lonely, the Telegraph(英国电讯报) reported.This might be why the UK government declared(宣布) the countrys very first Minister of Loneliness in January. The ministers job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The ministers office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies(自拍) without us, we may compare their perfect lives with our own and feel upset and lonely.But we should remember that no one is destined(注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent(陆地), a part of the main.（1）What do players do while playing Travel Frog? A .

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.21. （8分）阅读理解Here are three famous cities in the world.
