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.The study also found 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 (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. 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.56.The main subject talked about in this passage is _. A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second languageC. that language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study57. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _. A. a researcher on language learning B. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languages D. an active language learner58. We may know from the scientific findings that _. A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is B. 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 bad effect on peoples brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time59. 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 languageBNew Zealand is an English-speaking country, but the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before the 14th century.For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these faraway islands. It was made a British colony in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris land. So in 1844 there was a fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years was very bad for the Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200,000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42,000.For many years, the British New Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. Since last century the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maoris language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live in North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.60. How long did it take the British Government to make New Zealand its colony after the English sailors first visited New Zealand? A. About 400 years. B. less than 70 years.C. More than 74 years. D. About 126 years.61. Which of the following is more responsible for the sharp decrease of Maoris population? A. Many pieces of land taken away by the British settlers.B. The wars between the British settlers and the Maoris.C. Many deaths caused by some new diseases.D. A large number of Maoris killed by the British settlers.62. What does the last paragraph suggest about the Maoris? A. They are no longer looked down upon by British New Zealanders.B. For centuries, they have lived with the British New Zealanders peacefully.C. They live in different areas of the country.D. Their language is accepted as one of the languages of the country.63. According to the text, in which of the following periods of time does Maori population reach its biggest number? A. From last century till now. B. The mid 19th century.C. The end of the 19th century. D. The 17th century.CUnlike the other senses, which are only in your head, your sense of touch is all over your body. Throughout your life, you receive an endless flow of information about the world and yourself from your sense of touch. It tells you if something is hot or cold, hard or soft. It sends messages of pain, such as a headache or sore throat, if there is a problem.There are thousands of tiny sensors (传感器) all over your body. They are all linked together. These sensors are also linked to your spinal cord (脊髓) and your brain to make up your central nervous system. Through this system, the different parts of your body can send messages to your brain. It is then the brains job to decide what it is you are actually feeling. All this happens in just a split second.Not all parts of your body have the same amount of feeling. Areas that have the most nerves, or sensors, have the greatest amount of feeling. For example, the tips of your fingers have more feeling than parts of your arm.Some sensors get used to the feeling of an object after a period of time. When you first put your shirt on in the morning, you can feel its pressure on your skin. However, some of the sensors stop responding (反应) during the day.One feeling you cannot get used to is the feeling of pain. Pain is an important message, because it tells your brain that something harmful is happening to you. Your brain reacts by doing something right away to protect you.64. What are linked together to make up the central nervous system of our body? A. Head, muscles and bones.B. The nerves, spinal cord and brain.C. Sense of touch, sense of smell and sense of taste.D. Heart, blood-vessels (血管) and brain.65. Through the central nervous system, how fast can the different parts of our body send messages to our brain? A. In two seconds. B. In one minute. C. In less than one second. D. In two minutes.66. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. It is the brains job to receive messages from the sensors on our body.B. Some sensors get used to the feeling of an object after a period of time.C. Our sense of touch is all over our body, but the other senses are only in our head.D. All parts of our body have the same amount of feeling.67. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. The sense of touch is all over our b
