词数：254 体裁：说明文 核心素养：思维品质
话题：音乐风格 难度：中 建议用时：6分钟
Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36, 000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment（实验）. It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are.
Rock
Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle.
Country music
If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values.
Jazz
Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with.
Classical music
If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you.
But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist!
1. What influences our musical taste according to the experiment?
A. Personalities.
B. Friends.
C. Parents.
D. Instruments.
2. According to the passage, if Daniel is creative, what may be found in his playlist?
A. Rock.
B. Country music.
C. Jazz.
D. Classical music.
3. What may be the writer’s advice for us?
A. Changing our personalities.
B. Trying different types of music.
C. Doing experiments with friends.
D. Getting more learning experiences.
4. 新考法 主旨归纳 What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How different cultures influence you.
B. What your playlist says about you.
C. What songs we can choose to enjoy.
D. Why there are different musical styles.
