Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an inner ear, for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous dont think of a white bear problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to shut up is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!（1）According to the passage, earworms are _.A . songs that keep going round in our mindB . worms that live in a part of our brainC . tunes by pop singers like Lady GagaD . parasites clearly under our control（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE?A .

You wont suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.（3）What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A . The instruction to shut up your mind.B . Dont think of the white bear”problem.C . Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My HeadD . Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A . The causes and influences of earworms.B . What earworms are and how to deal with them.C . How to clear earworms out of your head.D . The relation between earworms and popular songs.13. （8分）阅读理解Recently, I happened to hear a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter prepared to leave.They hugged and the mother said I love you and I wish you enough.They kissed and the daughter left.The mother walked over to the window where I sat.

No caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the USA or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a good start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend a large number of money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their child.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children are skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize is that todays children lack (缺乏) self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. These activities are teaching a child not only to read, but also to think. And that is more important.（1）Many Chinese parents never _money in educating their children. （2）They believe that the result will be _if more money is spent on education.
