Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other.Then one day,Sue
saw Jim ’ s music collection.She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned.At that moment,she realized
that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking.Sue said, “ I thought we had nothing in
common ( 相同 ) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists ( 心理学家 ) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的 ) your personality.As
part of a test at the University of Texas,Austin,USA,volunteers created a CD of their favorite songs.The volunteers then listened to each other ’ sCDs and made guesses about the CD creator ’ s personality — outgoing,adventurous,happy,and so on.These strangers correctly guessed much more about each
other ’ s personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.For example,Sue and Jim love
punk music,which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative.
People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于 ) be serious and intelligent
while fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were
surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.

I am a student. Though I ’ m busy with my lessons,my free time is full of happiness and joy. I love reading because it helps me study better. I often do some reading in the evening. I think books are our best friends. They give us much knowledge. I find reading books is a good way to relax myself. At the same time it can also help me open up my eyes to the outside world.So I suggest that teachers should give us less homework to do so that we can have more time to read.
