Timothy is a 5-year-old boy with autism(自闭症). In October of 2018, doctors told his parents that he suffered
brain tumor(肿瘤).
Two thieves who specialized in stealing packages from people’s front gates had no idea that one of those
packages contained a WWE wrestling belt belonging to Timothy. At the time, the belt was on the front gate of
Sergio Moriers’s house, whose job was decorating stuff. “Timothy’s father doesn’t make a lot of money. But he
wanted to give his son an amazing gift, and I told him I would do everything for free. I said, ‘Just ship it over and
I’ll do everything you want on the belt, and he’ll have the belt of a lifetime.’” He said.
When the belt was taken, Sergio was extremely disturbed, “I want them to know they took hope from a 5-year-
old boy who is looking forward to that item coming back to him… You stole that from him. You broke a child’s
heart.” Timothy’s father shared what that belt meant to his son, “Timothy would not go anywhere without that
belt… Most kids have balls, while he had a belt.” All hope was lost.
Then something unexpected happened. “I saw two women appeared at the gate. They put down the bag there.
My guard went over and I realized what was happening. That bag contained the stolen wrestling belt,” Sergio said.
The two women apologized to Sergio. They said that they were thrown out of a friend’s apartment after the friend
saw the news report of the theft on TV. In fact, they were trying to kick a drug habit. They cried with guilt and
shame.
Seeing the returned belt, Timothy’s father said, “It’s one of those things you always hear about, those crazy
stories about people, but you never think it’ll happen to yourself. I’m still taken aback, to be honest.”
4. What was Sergio’s original intention?
A. To buy the boy a wonderful gift.

D. He couldn’t believe his stuff was stolen.

Young adults have strong positive memories of the music their parents loved when they were the same age, a
study finds.
Participants in a study on musical memory said they remembered and loved the music that was popular in the
early 1980s, when their parents were young. They also relished the music of the 1960s, which their grandparents
may have been playing while changing their mom’s diapers ( 尿布). “They would hear this music and say, ‘Oh
yeah, that’s my parents’ music,’ with obvious fondness,” says Carol Lynne Krumhansl, the psychology professor at
Cornell University who led the study.
The scientists had been testing musical memory in an earlier study, and were surprised to find that college age
participants could recognize older pop and rock songs just as quickly as the new stuff. Even more surprisingly, they
liked the older stuff more. Therefore, the researchers decided to find out what was happening, using clips ( 片段)
from hits on Billboard lists between 1955 and 2009. More than 60 student volunteers (average age 20) listened to
short clips of the top two pop and rock songs of each year. The researchers quizzed them about which songs they
recognized, how much they liked them and their emotional responses. They were also asked if they had memories
associated with the songs and whether those memories were from listening with parents, alone, or with others.
“We didn’t have any idea that young adults had the strongest personal memories of the music of the early
1980s”, Krumhansl said. She and her colleague, Justin Adam Zupnick of the University of California, were even
more surprised to see the second “reminiscence bump (回忆高峰)” in emotion and memory for top hits was from
1965 to 1969.
The connection to parents’ music isn’t entirely surprising. Music plays a central role in bringing up a child.
Songs are taught at home and school and heard more informally as part of the home environment. The songs
