14、e badly addicted to using phones. It probably wont surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Instead of sleeping, Kenny Alarcon, 16, often texts with his friends through the night. Frances Garcia, a high school senior, sends and receives about 1000 texts each day. Both Frances and K

15、enny wake up several times during the night to text. Kenny even sleeps with his phone under his pillow. Dr.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, says that its common for teens to be interrupted by texts while sleeping. “If they often lose sleep,” Dr.Dowdell says, “t

16、eens may become angry, or depressed. A lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and even obesity because many people turn to junk food for quick energy when they are tired.” Some experts are worried about how texting is affecting teenagers lives. One concern is that students might not learn correct gra

17、mmar and spelling if most of the writing they do is made up of text messages. Some people also worry that teens dont spend enough time talking with others face-to-face, which could be hurting their relationships with friends and family. Moreover, all that texting takes away hours that could be spent

18、 studying, exercising, taking up a hobby, or just relaxing. According to Dr. Dowdell, teens need to learn that they can and should turn off their phones sometimes. She had Kenny and Frances do an experiment. These were the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was f

19、or schoolwork. After 48 phone-free hours, Kenny and Frances were interviewed. “Wow, it was pure torture(折磨),” Kenny joked. Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. He spent time reading books and talking with his family, which he really en

23、ry, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about 3000 languages in the world today. Chinese is t

24、he lang uage with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are

25、 in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.Languages are always changing. The English of tod ay is very different from the

26、English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.If a language has a number of speakers, or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different are

27、as. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of Ch ina cant under

28、stand spe akers from other parts.1The first paragraph mainly tells us that_.Amost people in the world speak ChineseBthere are thousands of languages in todays worldCpeople have much knowledge about languagesDsome people know several languages2Most European and Indian languages_.Awill soon die out co

32、spoken by ChineseBthe sign used by Chinese people in a special areaCthe difference between the old and todays ChineseDthe form of a language used in one part of the countryC15、 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you notice

33、d 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 proc

34、esses 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 w

35、ith 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

36、 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,

37、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

38、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

39、,” explained the scientists.1The main subject talked about in this passage is _.Ascience on learning a second languageBmans ability of learning a second languageCthat language can help brain powerDlanguage learning and maths study2The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _.Aa researcher on lan

41、rner and one who doesnt know a second languageCthe experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on peoples brainDthe ability of learning a second language is changing all the time4In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _.Alearning a second language is the same as s

42、tudying mathsBearly learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsCItalian is the best choice for you as a second languageDyoud better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second languageD16、We can choose failure, but we cant choose fear. Thats like what James

43、 Cameron said “Failure Is an Option, but Fear Is Not” at the end of his TED talk and I love it. We shouldnt be afraid of facing failure, try to accept it and learn from it.Make room for failureNobody wants to fail, but failure is often on your way to success. Geprge Bernard Shaw said, “A life spent

44、making mistakes is not only more honorable(可敬的), but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” So if you never fail then it probably means that you do nothing. Failure shows that you actually do something instead of just sitting in your comfortable seat.Learn from each failureDont just fail and

45、get nothing out of it. Learn something from each failure that makes you better and better.Fail fastTime isprecious, so if you failed then youd better fail fast. Why?
