Bob Dylan, the 75-year-old rock legend received the Nobel Prize for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking tradition.
Dylan, born on May 24, 1941 is an American songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most
celebrated work dates from the 1960s. Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wind and The Times Are a-Changing became anthems(颂歌) for the American civil fights and anti-war movements. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival (复兴), his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone, recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music． Dylan’s lyrics(歌词) include a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary features. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American song---from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His acplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.
Since 1994, Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award，and an Academy Award. In May 2018, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.

Our perception of how food tastes is influenced by cutlery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor--white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghur tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes,”said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “ Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”
Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic(美食的)experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience(神经科学)design around mealtimes.”
28. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is . A. salty B. sour C. sweet D. bitter 29. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3? A. It is important for people.
B. People usually don’t care about it. C. It affects how the food tastes.
D. It is always different from people’s expectation.
30. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. ing from the senses.
B. Involving many different senses.
