This new system ______ me quite well for a while ______ the day last month when the captain of the plane I was travelling on failed in his landing ______ at Shannon Airport, because there was “a problem” with the landing gear (起落架).

New research helps to explain why screaming is disturbing and useful.
Screams, like those we hear in horror movies, have a special quality that separates them from other noises we make and hear. These screams are recognized by people all over the world.
1."Every kid in every culture screams. Every adult in the context of a true fear responds with screams. So it's just a feature of the human mind and brain.”
David Poeppel is a neuroscientist at New York University. He wondered why screams were recognized the same way by people all around the world. So, he and his colleagues set up an experiment.
They recorded screams from movies and from volunteers who took part in the research.2.Instead, they measured how quickly the sounds in the scream changed in volume. It was in this area-the change in volume that screams stand apart from other sounds.
When the volume of a sound changes that quickly it has a quality called roughness. "3.David Poeppel and his team found that car alarms, sirens, and alarm clocks also have this quality, this roughness.”
The scientists then studied how this "roughness" changed brain activity. They asked the volunteers to listen to different types of screams and alarms in an MRI scanner, The researchers found that the greater "roughness" of a sound. the more it activates the amygdala.
4.“The amygdala acts like a gauge that says ‘wow, this sound has a lot of roughness in it; that’s particularly alarming and scary. ’"
Screams, it turns out, are a direct link to the part of our brain that tells us whether we should be afraid or not. 5.
Now, we know why a scream.. gets so much attention, So quickly.
A. People who hear these rough sounds are also more likely to react to them very quickly.
B. People of all cultures and languages hear the same thing in a scream: fear.
C. A scream is to say ‘I’m in trouble and I need help.’
D. The amygdala is an area deep in the brain that answers to fear.
E. The more roughness a sound has, the more worrying it is
F. Screams played a very important evolutionary role in our survival
G. The scientists, however, did not measure the screams for loudness or pitch
In his 1930 essay "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren". John Keynes. a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs. which make us feel superior to our fellows.He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无法满足的), this is not true of absolute needs。
Keynes was surely correct that only a small Part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. Priced at over $ 120,000. it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2001. the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however. they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.

A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
