A changeup is a type of pitch in baseball. The changeup is the staple off-speed pitch, usually thrown to
look like a fastball but arriving 41 slower to the plate. Its reduced speed coupled with its deceptive
delivery 42 meant to confuse the batter’s timing. It is meant to be thrown the same as a fastball, but
farther back in the hand, which makes it release from the hand slower but still retaining the 43 of a
fastball. A changeup is generally thrown 8-15 miles per hour slower 44 a fastball. If thrown correctly, the
changeup will confuse the batter 45 the human eye cannot discern that the ball is coming significantly
slower until it is around 30 feet from the plate. For example, a batter swinging at the ball as if it were a 90mph
fastball when it is coming in at 75mph means he is swinging too early to hit the ball well, making the changeup
very effective.

An earworm is when a song one has heard before gets stuck in one's head and replays itself over and over
again, sometimes for days on end. Earworms may start randomly whenever the mind is at rest, or when one
experiences something that he or she associates with the song. Interestingly, earworms can be transmitted from
person to person. When a person starts humming a tune, people in the vicinity who are also familiar with the tune
may catch the earworm.
Neurologist Oliver Sacks suggests that earworms may be a product of modern life; people are subjected to
tunes everywhere, and thus, some of the background noise attaches itself to the brain. In fact, earworms have
become so frequent that the phenomenon has become a topic of academic research. According to a consumer
psychologist, an earworm is actually a sort of brain "itch." To scratch the itch, the brain repeats the tune. The
psychologist recommends listening to a song all the way through to avoid the itch. If you still catch the earworm,
however, don't panic. Even if you do nothing, the worm will go away on its own sooner or later.
Then, why does the brain itch? Music seems to have a powerful ability to affect the human consciousness. Sad
music can make people cry, while relaxing music can relieve stress. Likewise, loud and fast music urges people to
move faster. These psychological and behavioral effects speak to the sensitivity humans have to musical sounds.
With these scientific findings, more and more people are becoming aware of earworms and their influence on
the brain. Advertising industries often use repetitive and catchy music to make their ads stick in the head. In the
future, it is possible that consumers will need to protect themselves from the invasion of music into their mental
spaces.

Worms that infect people’s ears.

Earworms never happened in the past.
Earworm research has become popular recently.
Listen to a song halfway, and you will itch all over.
Scratching your head can help make earworms go.
【3】49. Why are earworms thought of as contagious?
They can infect multiple people at the same time.
They are a frequent phenomenon among music lovers.
When a person hums a tune, other people nearby may get the earworm.
They can stay in the brain for a long time and cause people to panic.
【4】50. What is the author’s purpose in the final paragraph?
To convince the reader.
To restate a problem.
To offer a solution.
