People have all turned to sad music to make themselves feel better at some point in their lives,     1    why does the music with double or even triple sadness help drag people out of low spirits?

A new study throws light on what's going on inside people’s brains when they match their music to their feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than     2    (simple) depressing. Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people’s life , thus    3    (lift)their mood.

Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in        Australia says there     4    (existence) two groups of possible explanations for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this---one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).

    5    terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel     6    (good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having     7    even worse day than they are.

Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music     8    shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions    9    (share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.

So, the     10    (conclude) again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.

2 . An umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life.   When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it; only when it’s raining, we’ll carry it purposefully.   But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we’ll forget     1    we’ve put it.   It has to wait patiently and pitifully for     2    owner to claim it, otherwise it’ll remain alone as a deserted umbrella.   Once I suddenly found my longtime used umbrella “disappeared”.   I really got lost     3    regretted quite some time for my own carelessness.   Several days later, out of my     4     (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked.   I was extremely glad to regain it.   Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar     5     me, I found for the first time that its wooden handle     6     (wear) out as a result of repeated rain­wash for years.   I sought for it only when I needed it.   It occurred to me that I should have paid    7    much) attention to it.

It sets me    8    (think).   Around us there is always a person giving us support in silence just like    9    old umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched weather. Will you think of those individuals    10    have helped you get through difficulty when you are leading a comfortable life?

3 . Many of my friends like fall and take it as their favorite season. Last weekend, I went outdoors and soon     1    (find) a deeper appreciation for this season.

The change of leaf colors is a common reason given     2    the love of fall. Each tree reacts    3    (different) to the change of the season. Some shed their leaves in hopes of reproducing; however, other     4    (tree) remain green for as long as possible to gain additional energy from the sun to survive the winter. This effect     5    (call) the flight-or-fight response.

Fall is a time of     6    (reflect) and preparation for the year ahead. I have found a meaning of fall for me. I'm     7    18-year-old boy in the final year of high school and my life is a work in progress. There are times I want to give up, but then I look around me and realize life keeps     8    (move).The natural cycle of life is beautiful and doesn't stop growing so I have to learn to keep up.

The meaning of fall is different for each person. I encourage you     9    (go) out to follow some path or sidewalk and discover     10    fall means to you.
