It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A t

55、eam led by Dr Andrea Michelle, 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

56、度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.

Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results s

59、howed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.63.

We may know from the scientific findings 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 learn

62、er 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 time66. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _.A. a researcher on language learningB. a person who is

63、good at learning foreign languagesC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learnerDWhat is great art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decides?      These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. Whe
