dreaming of studying animals in africa since childhood.“my neighbors said i couldnt go to africa.im not a boy!”joy says.“but my father used to say,if you have determination and really want to do one thing,theres nothing you cant do .”in 1982,the 23-year-old joy managed to meet the famous scientist daniel,who was so moved by her enthusiasm that he invited her to go with him to the africa jungle as his assistant.in 1985 daniel sent joy to record chimpanzees behavior and interactions in a remote animal reserve.for six month joy didnt make any progress,but she never thought about giving up.at last,her effort paid off when she saw a male chimpanzee put a piece of grass into a termite（白蚁） hole and then pull it out.afterward that male chimpanzee ate dozens of termites on the grass.some animals use tools,which was the most important discovery at the time.that discovery was unknown to most scientists at the time.joy received her phd for her finding in the study of animal behavior at

think english means endless new words,difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation,you are wrong. havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? according to a new study by a british university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. this is the area of the brain which processes information. it is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles（肌肉）.the study also found the the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. a team led by dr. andrea mechelli, from university college london, took a group of britons who only spoke english. they were compared with a group of “early bilinguals”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five,as well as a number of later learners.scans showed that grey matter density（密度） in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. but the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference .“our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.it means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.professor dylan vaughan jones of the university of wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “you are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” the findings had the same result in a study of native italian speakers who had learned english as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. the results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.32.the main idea of this passage is that .a. theres science on learning a second languageb. mans ability of leaning a second languagec. learning another language can help increase brain powerd. language learning is related to maths study33.the underlined word “bilinguals” probably means .a. researchers on language learningb.second language learnersc.people who can speak two languagesd.active language learners34.we may know from the scientific finding that .a. the earlier you start to learn a second language,the higher the grey matter density isb. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languagec. the experience of learning a second language has little effect on peoples braind. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time35.in the last two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us that .a. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsb. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsc. italian is the best choice for you as a second languaged. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。just be
