25、   If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t 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 effect(效果) 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(结构) 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 math 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 had the same result 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.

【1】From Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2, we can learn that ___________.

A.learning a second language can make you smarter

B.grammar is not very important in learning English

C.you can start to learn another language if you are smart

【2】The underlined word “bilinguals” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ___________.

【3】Dr. Andrea Mechelli and his team have found that ___________.

A.it is not very good to start learning a language too early

B.it usually takes quite a long time to master a new language

C.learning a second language changes the structure of the brain

D.people who don’t learn a second language have no grey matter

【4】In the last two paragraphs, the writer tells us that ___________.

A.the younger you start to learn a second language, the better

B.improving math skills is as difficult as learning a second language

C.Italian people are supposed to learn English as a second language

D.the best age to learn a second language is between two and thirty-four

26、   The Internet is full of false information. It is important for us all to avoid being fooled by such information. Here are three examples of Internet hoaxes (恶作剧).

On his website, a man by the name of Tony has asked for money to save the life of a pretty little rabbit named Toby that he saved from under his house. A cat must have attacked the rabbit, the man said, so he took it in. He gave Toby loving care and nursed him back to health. There is a very cruel point, however. If the man doesn't receive enough money, he will eat poor little Toby. (Don't worry, thought. Remember, it's just a hoax!)

While the streets of New Orleans, the USA, were still flooded after a terrible hurricane (飓风), a frightening e-mail was sent around the Internet. It included a photograph of a large crocodile (鳄鱼)over five meters long. According to the message, it had been swimming around the flooded city eating people. It was later discovered that the photographs of the crocodile were of one that was caught in the Congo (刚果) years before.

The following e-mail hoax takes in many people. It says that a large British company will pay you to send their e-mail to as many people as possible. For every person that you send the e-mail to, it promises you will receive $5.00; for every person that you send it to that sends it to someone else, you'll get $3.00; and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $1.00. To make it even more believable, the sender says that at first he thought it was a hoax, but the company soon sent him $800.00.
