Who cares if money can’t buy you love? But it can still be your best friend forever．That’s one of the surprising findings in a new research paper, “The Power of Money”，published in me journal Psychological Science．

Like any best friend forever，money demonstrated to researchers its ability to soothe us，reduce our sense of social exclusion and even reduce life’s painful moments．

“I was surprised” says Katherine Vohs，one of the researchers and professor at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management．“The findings were surprising because no one had connected the meaning of money to pain．The money wasn’t buying the subjects more friends；it was only psychologically helpful.”

In the research ,students were told they would be participating in a test of finger dexterity(敏捷度)．One group was given some paper money to count，while the other group was given blank pieces of paper．Once the counting was complete, all the test subjects were asked to dip their fingers into bowls of water heated to 122 degrees—roughly the temperature of a very hot bath．

Result? Those who had been counting money reported less pain than those who had not．Subjects also were asked about their feelings．Those who handled actual money reported feeling stronger even 10 minutes after they put down the cash．

Combined with previous experiments，the findings confirmed what researchers have long doubted，that money acts as a general panacea(万能药)in the brain，giving us social self-confidence and reducing physical pain without having to spend a dime on aspirin．

But can we get the same effect by using credit cards? “No，credit cards do not have the same effect，” Vohs says．“They are scary for most people，and they in fact represent debt m many ways．”The findings could have an interesting effect in the business world, where recent trends have been to issue non-monetary rewards and bonuses instead of what was thought of as “cold, hard cash”．

1.The underlined word “soothe” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to“____________” .

A．encourage   B．remind     C．calm  D．trust

2.What’s Katherine Vohs’s attitude towards the result of the study?

A．He found it totally unexpected．

B．He had no doubt about it．

C．He thought it needed further experiments．

D．He thought it was not convincing．

3.What do we know about the students involved in the study?

A．They were divided into two groups according to their ages．

B．One group was given paper money while the other was given coins．

C．They were holding the money while dipping fingers into hot water．

D．Both groups were asked to dip fingers into hot water．

4.We can 1earn from the passage that_________．

A．the effect of money can only last until we put it down

B．money is both psychologically and socially helpful to us

C．the result of the research hasn’t been confirmed（证实） by experts

D．credit cards have the same effect on us as money

5.The last paragraph suggests that___________．

A．the recent trend in the business world is to give cash as rewards

B．employers should give non-monetary rewards to employees

C．cash is a better way to reward employees than credit cards

D．more and more employees prefer non-monetary rewards to cash

It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.

To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo— “music of black origin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.

Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.

Lady Leshurr, known as the "Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.

Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (现象) like the European refugee (难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.

Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Electronic music.　　 B. Hip-hop.

C. Grime music.　　 D. Black music.

2.What can be learned about grime singers?

A. They care too much about themselves.

B. They refuse to be judged by others.

C. They tend to take social responsibility.

D. They show strong independence qualities.

3.What does Skepta’s success suggest?

A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.

B. Singers should try to be themselves.

C. Grime has become mainstream music.

D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.
