26、Why do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens?

27、   If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammars and sometimes strange pronunciations, 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.

The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mecheli, 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 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 2 and 34. 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】The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.

A.science on learning a second language B.man’s ability of learning a second language

C.language study can help improve brain power D.language learning and maths study

【2】In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.

A.say language is also a kind of physical labor

B.prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language

C.show the importance of using the language when you learn it

D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well

【3】The word “bilinguals” (Paragraph 3) probably means ________.

A.researchers on language learning B.second language learners

C.persons who can speak two languages D.active language learners

28、   Everyone knows that walking is one of the best means of exercise for health, so physicians often recommend 150 minutes a week. But that’s a measure of volume (量). What about the walking speed? Does that make a difference? A recent paper indicates the answer may be yes.

Previous research had only focused on total amounts of exercise in minutes or steps. A team of experts in Sydney looked at whether people who walked similar distances but at different speeds gained more or less health benefits

The researchers studied 11 English and Scottish population-wide reports that included more than 50,000 regular walkers with an average age of late 40s. The walkers were grouped according to four walking speeds: slow, average, brisk(轻快的) and fast. Lastly, the researchers figured out the death( from heart disease and cancer) rate during an average follow-up period of 9.2years.

New researchers showed marathoners had less arthritis(关节炎) than non-runners.

Participants who walked at an “average” speed, as opposed to ” slow ” , had a 20 percent lower risk of death. Those walking at a “ brisk ” or “ fast ” pace enjoyed an additional 4 percent lower death rate. While the best speeds vary with one’s own age and fitness, a pace below 20 minutes per mile is considered average, and below 18 minutes per mile is considered brisk. All the benefits came from lower heart-related deaths. Walking pace had no effect on cancer rates.

“Our paper is the first paper to keep apart walking pace from the physical activity volume ,”

Explained Emmanuel Stamatakis , a professor of the Charles Perkins Center. “We also took steps to role out ( 排除 ) the possibility that the slow walkers were in poor health to begin with.”

“Walking more is better than walking less. But don’t fall into the trap of thinking that any walk improve health. Keep out of the ‘ slow ’ zone. Make sure you’re putting some effort into your walk”, Stamatakis noted. “ An appropriate effort for those in a comfortable walking routine might be slightly out of breath.”

When you’re short of time, simply walk faster to increase the pay-off. “ A faster pace means you are challenging yourself to make adaptations for better health and fitness,” said Stamatakis.

【1】What’s the finding of the recent paper?

A.Slow walkers are in poor health at first.

B.Walking speed influences one’s health.

C.Walking pace has some effect on cancer rates.

D.Walking 150 minutes a week is good for health.

【2】How were the walkers sorted in the research?

A.They were divided into groups by walking pace.

B.They were put into different age group.

C.They were groups by health condition.

D.They were organized by nationality.

【3】What can we know about the research?

A.Participants are from eleven countries.

B.Participants include people of all ages.

C.It collected data during an average of 9.2 years.

D.It focused on total amounts of exercise in minutes.

【4】What’s Stamatakis’s advice for those in a comfortable walking routine?

A.Working more. B.Walking a little faster.

C.Trying other exercise. D.Changing the present lifestyle.

29、Self-esteem(自尊) plays a role in almost everything you do. 【1】 They can have better relationships with peers(同龄人) and adults, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes, disappointments and failures, and are more likely to stick with something until they succeed.

If you want to improve your self-esteem, here are some useful tips.

★Try to stop having negative thoughts about yourself. If you’re used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself. 【2】

★View mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. 【3】 Remind yourself that a person’s talents are constantly developing, and everyone does well in different things.

★【4】 If you realize that you’re unhappy with something that you can change, then start today. If it’s something you can’t change(like your height), then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.

★Make a contribution. Help a classmate who’s having trouble, offer to clean up your neighborhood or volunteer your time in some other way. 【5】

★Have fun. Enjoy spending time with the people you care about and doing the things you love. Relax and have a good time — and avoid putting your life on hold.

It takes some work to develop good self-esteem, but once you do it’s a skill you’ll have for life.

A．Mistakes are part of learning.

B．Recognize what you can change and what you can’t.

C．Low self-esteem is a negative evaluation(评价) of oneself.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).

One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.

Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start，but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
