17、、Section C(总题数：1，分数：71.00)For years, scientists have been studying how music affects the brain and its functions. Classical music, 1 songs by Mozart, has produced measurable results that have become known as “The Mozart Effect.“ The theory, essentially, is that listening to the music of Mozart can i
18、mprove your 2 capacity. The question is, can listening to classical music make you more successful? If music improves cognitive functions, it is reasonable to believe you can 3 those same rewards, 4 increased performance and efficiency at work. Increased efficiency means you get things done quicker.
19、 Finishing earlier means you have increased free time to put towards another 5 or to spend relaxing. Music Increases Cognitive Function. Several studies have shown cognitive improvements in those who listened to classical music prior to performing certain tasks or taking tests. Functions that 6 in i

23、new book on the best times to do things, is around nine o“clock on a Sunday morning: most tourists, it seems, don“t realise that the Louvre is open then, while plenty of those who do will still be 1 from the wine-fuelled excesses of Saturday night. The best night to eat at a restaurant is a Tuesday:
24、 no crowds, but better than a Monday, since many restaurants don“t get weekend deliveries, making Monday“s food less 2 . Such is the 3 but strangely compelling life-advice collected within the covers of Buy Ketchup In May And Fly At Noon, by Mark Di Vincenzo, a book that takes literally the clich th
25、at timing is everything. But the 4 of his outlook are universal. If there“s a perfect time to ask for a pay rise or a date, or a perfect moment in life to buy a house, have children or switch jobs, then there“s hope for us all, if only we can time things right. Of course, there“s no such 5 art of ti
26、ming that will make everything run smoothly. But one general principle that does 6 from Di Vincenzo“s book is this: it pays, in life, to learn when and how to deliberately 7 out of synchronise (同步) with the rest of the world. Sometimes, this is a simple question of 8 the crowds: obviously, that“s th
27、e reason for holidaying off season, and it“s why Di Vincenzo recommends calling customer-service lines the moment they open, when call volume is lowest. But there“s more to the matter than 9 avoiding peak times: with a little cunning (技巧), you can desynchronise yourself from the crowd so as to make

A couple of mont
29、hs or so after becoming Britain“s prime minister, David Cameron wanted a few tips from somebody who could tell him how it felt to be responsible for, and accountable to, many millions of people: people who expected things from him, even though in most cases he would never shake their hands. B. He tu
30、rned not to a fellow head of government but to. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and boss of Facebook, the phenomenally successful social network. (It announced that it had 500m users) In a well-publicised online video chat this month, the two men swapped ideas about ways for networks to help government
31、s. Was this just a political leader seeking a spot of help from the private sectoror was it more like diplomacy, a comparison of notes between the masters of two great nations? C. In some ways, it might seem absurd to call Facebook a state and Mr. Zuckerberg its governor. It has no land to defend; n
32、o police to enforce law and order; it does not have subjects, bound by a clear cluster of rights, obligations and cultural signals. Compared with citizenship of a country, membership is easy to acquire and give up. Nor do Facebook“s boss and his executives depend directly on the consent of an “elect
33、orate (选民)“ that can unseat them. Technically, the only people they report to are the shareholders. D. But many web-watchers do detect country-like features in Facebook. “It is a device that allows people to get together and control their own destiny, much like a nation-state,“ says David Post, a la
34、w professor at Temple University. If that sounds like a flattering description of Facebook“s “groups“ (often rallying people with unusual habits and hatred), then it is worth recalling a classic definition of the modern nation-state. As Benedict Anderson, a political scientist, put it, such polities
35、 are “imagined communities“ in which each person feels a bond with millions of anonymous fellow-citizens. In centuries past, people looked up to kings or bishops; but in an age of mass literacy and printing in non-official languages, so Mr. Anderson argued, horizontal ties matter more. E. So if news
36、papers and shabby paperbacks can create new social and political units, for which people toil and die, perhaps the latest forms of communication can do likewise. In his 2006 book “Code: Version 2.0“, a legal scholar, Lawrence Lessig noted that online communities were transcending the limits of conve
37、ntional states-and predicted that members of these communities would find it “difficult to stand neutral in this international space“. F. To many, that forecast still smacks (带味道) of cyber-fantasy. But the rise of Facebook at least gives pause for thought. If it were a physical nation, it would now
38、be the third most populous on earth. Mr. Zuckerberg is confident there will be a billion users in a few years. Facebook is unprecedented not only in its scale but also in its ability to blur boundaries between the real and virtual worlds. A few years ago, online communities evoked fantasy games play
39、ed by small, strange groups. But as technology made possible large virtual arenas like Second Life or World of Warcraft, an online game with millions of players, so the overlap between cyberspace and real human existence began to grow. G. From the users“ viewpoint, Facebook can feel a bit like a lib
40、eral polity: a space in which people air opinions, rally support and right wrongs. What about the view from the top? Is Facebook a place that needs governing, just as a country does? Brad Burnham of Union Square Ventures, a venture-capital firm, has argued that the answer is yes. In the spirit of li
41、beral politics, he thinks the job of Facebook“s managers is to create a space in which citizens and firms feet comfortable investing their time and money to create things. H. Facebook has certainly tried to guide the development of its online economy, almost in the way that governments seek to influ
42、ence economic activity in the real world, through fiscal (财政的) and monetary policy. Earlier this year the firm said it wanted applications running on its platform to accept its virtual currency, known as Facebook Credits. It argued that this was in the interests of Facebook users, who would no longe
43、r have to use different online currencies for different applications. But this made some developers angry, who resent the fact that Facebook takes a 30% cut on every transaction involving credits. I. Like any ruling elite that knows it relies on the consent from the ruled, Facebook seeks advice from
44、 its members on questions of governance. It allows users to vote on proposed changes to its terms of service, and it holds online forums to collect views on future policies. And like any well-intentioned politicians, Facebook makes blunders: its members were angry earlier this year by changes to its
45、 policy that made public some previously private information. If Mr. Zuckerberg achieves his goal of creating the world“s favourite “social utility“, he may need to give users a more formal saya bit like a constitution. J. Experience shows that networks which neglect governance pay a price. Take MyS
46、pace, which was once much bigger than Facebook: its growth stalled a couple of years ago when its managers let the site become too disorderly. There is a thin line, it seems, between the freedom that spurs creativity and a free-for-all. K. As Facebook“s masters present it, their mission is just to m
47、ake the world more open and connected and bring closer the “global village“ predicted in the 1960s by Marshall McLuhan, a futurologist they love. Their claim to be accelerators has some force. Facebook“s success “raises a lot of issues that we thought were a generation away,“ says Edward Castronova,
48、 a professor at Indiana University. One of them is how much impact virtual economies and currencies will have on real world ones. L. Facebook may also influence how governments supply services, and compete to provide them. For instance, the firm allows members to use their Facebook profiles to log i
49、nto other sites around the web, creating a sort of passport. A similar facility could help people on the move retain access to government services. And then there is the question of how social networks will change politics. Clearly, they help to stimulate discussion, and they let governments search and test proposals. When Messrs Cameron and Zuckerberg conferred, the main topic was how to get new ideas for cutting public spending. M. Like many diplomatic relationships, theirs w
