The Montreal Study Participants, who were recruited for the study through advertisements, had their brain activity monitored while listening to their favourite music. It was noted that the music stimulated the brain’s neurons to release a substance called 27______ in two of the parts of the brain which are associated with feeling 28______. Researchers also observed that the neurons in the area of the brain called the 29______ were particularly active just before the participants’ favourite moments in the music — the period known as the 30______. Activity in this part of the brain is associated with the expectation of ‘reward’ stimuli such as 31______ (请填写31题答案).

第3题
W: Well, it's an event that's open to anybody who'd like to ride a bicycle through the streets on Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers. But the route's quite different every year. Even people who've already done it might enjoy doing it again.
M: How long does it to go the whole distance?
W: It varies. Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like.
M: Well. what's the typical pace for a participant?
W: Between 12 and 30 kilometers per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don't cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there is no rush. It's not a race.
M: I understand last year's tour had 45 thousand cyclists and it was the largest mass cycling event in the world. How many do you expect this year?
W: The same as last year. And since we regularly have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up quickly last year and we had to refuse lots of applications.
M: Before we close, any other tips for our prospective cyclists?
W: Yes. Take water with you. It is available at the relay stations but it helps to have an additional supply. And pack a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don't do the trick.

[A] “I just don’t know how to motivate them to do a better job. We’re in a budget crunch and I have absolutely no financial rewards at my disposal. In fact, we’ll probably have to lay some people off in the near future. It’s hard for me to make the job interesting and challenging because it isn’t—it’s boring, routine paperwork, and there isn’t much you can do about it. [B] “Finally, I can’t say to them that their promotions will hinge on the excellence of their paperwork. First of all, they know it’s not true. If their performance is adequate, most are more likely to get promoted just by staying on the force a certain number of years than for some specific outstanding act. Second, they were trained to do the job they do out in the streets, not to fill out forms. All through their career it is the arrests and interventions that get noticed. [C] “I’ve got a real problem with my officers. They come on the force as young, inexperienced men, and we send them out on the street, either in cars or on a beat. They seem to like the contact they have with the public, the action involved in crime prevention, and the apprehension of criminals. They also like helping people out at fires, accidents, and other emergencies. [D] “Some people have suggested a number of things like using conviction records as a performance criterion. However, we know that’s not fair — too many other things are involved. Bad paperwork increases the chance that you lose in court, but good paperwork doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll win. We tried setting up team competitions based on the excellence of the reports, but the guys caught on to that pretty quickly. No one was getting any type of reward for winning the competition, and they figured why should they labor when there was no payoff. [E] “The problem occurs when they get back to the station. They hate to do the paperwork, and because they dislike it, the job is frequently put off or done inadequately. This lack of attention hurts us later on when we get to court. We need clear, factual reports. They must be highly detailed and unambiguous. As soon as one part of a report is shown to be inadequate or incorrect, the rest of the report is suspect. Poor reporting probably causes us to lose more cases than any other factor. [F] “So I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been groping in the dark in a number of years. And I hope that this seminar will shed some light on this problem of mine and help me out in my future work.” [G] A large metropolitan city government was putting on a number of seminars for administrators, managers and/or executives of various departments throughout the city. At one of these sessions the topic to be discussed was motivation - how we can get public servants motivated to do a good job. The difficulty of a police captain became the central focus of the discussion. G?1.————?2.————?3.————?4.————?5.————?F 1. sequencing 1. ______

LaRoche, who flies out of Montreal because it is the closest major airport to his northern Vermont home, is not alone. Countless U. S. travelers use Montreal's airport because of its convenient location and competitive prices, which it promotes in radio ads in New Eng-land. Not surprisingly, the ads don't mention that more than 200 cars are stolen every year from the airport's parking lots.
Professional thieves search the airport's long-term parking garages for cars that are relatively free of dust and have U. S. license plates—a lack of dust means that a car was parked recently, and Americans often travel for weeks on end. Says a Canadian car-theft investigator: "That gives the bad guys a lot of time to do whatever they want with the car."
What they do, typically, is take the stolen cars to Montreal's harbor, wheree they are concealed inside huge containers to be taken overseas. In little more than a week, the cars are on the street in Russia or countries in Africa of Asia. Police assert that Canada's most powerful car-theft rings are controlled by Russian crime organizations.
Airport officials downplay the problem. "You have to put things in perspective... when you have so many cars parked at your airport every year," says Montreal's director of airport protection. "It's not a major problem. "But the Montreal airport's car-theft problem—police recorded 220 stolen cars last year—is far worse than other international airports in North America. Last year, for example, only 65 cars were stolen from parking lots at Los Angeles's airport; Boston's Logan airport had only four reported thefts. So now David La- Roche will head to Logan, his next-closest major airport. It's a longer drive, but that's OK if it saves his new car.
Many American travelers use Montreal international airport because______.
A.it offers good passenger service
B.it provides free parking lots
C.it is near and inexpensive
D.it is widely advertised

When his plane touched down at Montreal' s international airport, David LaRoche collected his
luggage and headed for the airport parking garage, where he left his brand-new car three weeks earlier.
But the car wasn't there. LaRoche found a police officer, who gave him the bad news: his Audi A6
most likely had been absorbed into a vast black car market somewhere in Eastern Europe of Africa.
LaRoche, who flies out of Montreal because it is the closest major airport to his northern Ver-
mont home, is not alone. Countless U. S. travelers use Montreal' s airport because of its convenient location and competitive prices, which it promotes in radio ads in New England.
