time for preparing for the winter months by collecting and preserving food. people gathered corn, nuts and berries(干果）.they also dried and salted meats to feed them through the long, cold winter.to prepare for the winter months, some animals gather food. squirrels gather and store seeds and nuts in their nests. they search the ground for fallen nuts. they pick nuts from tree limbs, sometimes throwing them down to the ground below. this hoarding helps them survive the winter. and it gives us a common expression. “to squirrel something away means to save it for future use. we often use this expression when talking about money and food. but any resource you may need later can be squirreled away.for example, a child might squirrel away chocolate, hiding them from brothers and sisters, which guarantee the child can satisfy their sweet tooth at any time.unlike squirrels, you can squirrel things away during anytime of the year. also, many people slow down during this time. the expression “autumn years refers to the later years of a persons life, especially after a person has stopped working.for example, she worked hard her entire life. she saved her money and invested it wisely. so, she was able to enjoy her autumn years in comfort. she was finally able to travel around the world.” this time of life can also be called “twilight years”. regardless of your age, autumn

dream: driven by this dream, i kept studying hard. id begin my day by asking myself these two questions:what do i want in my life?and are the things i am doing today going to get me closer to that

not take away my power to decide what i chose to do with my life.every day i could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my sat score increased, and my scholarship offers started coming in. on march 31st, 2011, an e-mail arrived from harvard. the first word was “congratulations!tears of joy filled my eyes.who you are today is the result of the decisions you made

this situation： you hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia（怀旧） or blast from the past， as we saybut it is not a distant childhood memorythe words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years agoresearchers at the university of edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign languagethey found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languageshere is what they didresearchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20then they gave the groups three different types of listen-and-repeat learning conditionsresearchers had one group simply speak the wordsthey had the second group speak the words to a rhythm，or beatand they asked the third group to sing the wordsall three groups studied words from the hungarian language for 15minutesthen they took part in a series of language tests to see what they rememberedwhy hungarian，you ask？researchers said they chose hungarian because not many people know the languageit does not share any roots with germanic or romance languages，such as italian or spanishafter the tests were over，the singers came out on topthe people who learned these new hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performancethey did the best in four out of five of the teststhey also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking themdrkatie overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign languagethe brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3，or memorable 4，tune 5drludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languageson the university of edinburghs website drludke writes，this study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning，and opens the door for future research in this area22the song mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to_arecall the past battract the readerscintroduce the topic dgive an example23why do researchers choose hungarian?afew people know the language bits one of the easiest language cmany people are familiar with it dmost learners show interest in it24based on the last two paragraphs，we can conclude that_.asinging is the best way to learn a languagebdrkatie overy and drludke disagree with each otherca listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learnerdthe brain probably works best when learning new words by singing25in which situation can the finding of the research be applied？aa mother is going to teach her baby how to speakba child is going to have his first music lessonca student is going to learn a new english songdan american is going to
