1. C. 根据ON Oct 31st in the US, people aren’t too surprised if they fail to recognize their best friends, parents, children or co-workers可知美国人有万圣节化妆的习俗，所以如果看到熟人奇装异服打扮，人们并不会感到奇怪。作者举得例子之一就是他的老师化妆成奥巴马总统。而学生们也被老师的扮相逗乐了，而不是嘲笑老师。

2. C. 原文提到Almost no one knew who I was that year, but the following year every kid wore a Harry Potter costume. That made me feel pretty cool. 尽管当时没有人认出作者哈利波特的扮相，但是第二年的万圣节同学们纷纷模仿，这让作者感到很有成就感。

4. D. 根据For creative people, designing a costume is the best part of Halloween. Almost everyone does it, so it’s an accepted way of expressing imagination and humor.可知万圣节装扮已经成为了美国人的一项习俗，人们通过这项活动充分发挥自己的创造力和想象力，得到了无穷的快乐。

1. C. 原文提到They noticed that as people age, their social circumstances (环境) change, and so does their music taste. 可知研究者们发现人们的音乐品味和他们的社会生活息息相关。

2. B. 根据文章后文teenage years, early adulthood, middle aged等词汇提示可知三个阶段和成长发育阶段有关，所以推测mature是“成长，成熟”的意思。

3. D. 根据“For many, this life stage is frequently exhausted (使筋疲力尽) by work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing, emotive (动情的) music,” Jason Rentfrow, a research member, told The Telegraph. 可知，成年人的音乐品味相对固定，更喜欢放松的，怡情养性的音乐。而年轻人随着年龄增长，音乐品味会发生变化。

4. A. 纵观全文，主要介绍了一项针对影响人们音乐品味的因素的最新研究成果。

2. B. it在文中指代的是作者思考的时间，作者心情矛盾，不知道是不是应当插手，但是最后还是凭良心决定见义勇为。这个内心煎熬的过程似乎很漫长，但其实作者做出决定仅仅是几秒钟的事情。

3. D. 根据There was a long pause (停顿) and then I heard the words, uttered in wonder, in amazement.可知作者完全不知道自己救的是亲生女儿。如果他不插手的话，以后肯定会后悔的。
