For one thing, they tend to small parts of a songnot the whole track. And “the songs
19、youve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track paying in your head. “Once I was at the doctors office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gastona character from Beauty
20、 and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldnt get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadnt thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworms trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the post

She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also newthe unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the sam
22、e way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from inte

27、rt Nozick used the idea of an “experience machine” to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality. “But why?” he encouraged us to ask.There was no such thing as virtual(虚拟的)reality (VR) when he was writin
28、g. But now we can give ourselves puter generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question raised by Nozick has bee a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting
29、 on goggles and a body suit?One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable.
