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 (腦灰質(zhì)). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉).
The study also found the effect is great 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 that 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 (結(jié)構(gòu)) 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 relationship between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (靈活的).” 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.
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.that language can help brain power D.language learning and maths study
2.The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ________.
A.a researcher on language learning B.a second language learner
C.a person who can speak two languages D.an active language learner
3.In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.
A.say language is also a kind of physical (身體的) labor
B.show that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C.show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
4.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 doesn’t know a second language
C.the experience of learning a second language has bad influence on people’s brain
D.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
5.In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A.learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B.early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C.Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D.you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (質(zhì)量,品質(zhì)) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.
1.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
A.Because they were born there. B.Because it was a better educational town.
C.Because the writer began his fifth grade. D.Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
2.How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
A.About 80. B.About 160. C.About 220. D.About 300.
3.What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.A small number of B.The whole of C.A large number of D.None of
4.Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
A.Because he regards it as his hometown. B.Because his parents got new jobs there.
C.Because there are many Asians there. D.Because it is in the state of New Jersey.
