Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it."I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since the 'eat-up' campaign began.

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 favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through the ir 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 shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.Title: 56 and PersonalityAn opinion Your 57 in music is related to your personality.Findings One’s clothes or taste in films is 58 important than his/her CDs in a test of guessing about one’s person ality.It is said that hip-hop fans are energetic and talkative.People who 59 rock or pop music are usually independent and adventurous.Jazz fans are likely to be 60 .It’s61 that rap and heavy metal fans are shier and quieter than many other music lovers.An 6263 Sue and Jim were neighbors for five years, they were never interested in each other.After Sue noticed they both had rare punk rock CDs, she found they had 64in common.They are now married and living 65 .56__________ 57__________ 58__________ 59___________ 60____________61__________ 62__________ 63 __________ 64___________ 65_____________ 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分）Do you know Sweden(瑞典)？It is in the n 66 of Europe．It is the fourth largest c 67 in Europe with an area of 450, 000 square kilometers and the number of people is about 8.5 million.
