Russian President Vladimir Putin has explained why he stopped to kiss a small boy on the stomach as he was walking through the Kremlin, saying it was a spontaneous (本能的) action like touching a cat.

Psychology(心理學(xué)) is the study of the mind and mental activities. For example, psychologists are interested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy. They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They want to know why people do the thing that they do. They also test intelligence.

Psychologists deal with the mind and behavior of people. Your mind consists of all your feelings, thoughts and ideas. It is the result of one part of the brain called the cerebrum (大腦). Your behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself. Examples of behavior include shouting, crying, laughing and sleeping.

Several people have been instrumental in the field of psychology. Whihelm Wundt set up the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig, Germany, in 1879. Ivan Pavlov, a Russian, is noted for his experiments with dogs in which he studies their reflexes(反射) and reactions. Around 1900, Sigmund Freud, stated his theory that people try to repress (control, hide)memories or thoughts that they believe were not good.

Psychologists should not be confused with psychiatrists who deal with mental illness. They are medical doctors who treat people.

Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe that children learn more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this idea a fact or myth(懸念)？
Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested; that is, the ability to learn increased as the age increased, from childhood to adulthood.
There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical(邏輯的) thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline (self-control) than children.
All in all, it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a fact, but a myth.
【小題1】The main idea of the passage is ____.

A．teenagers are more difficult to teach
B．Danish teenagers can learn Swedish faster than younger children
C．a(chǎn)dults are more logical than children
D．the ability to learn languages increases with age
【小題2】According to the passage, teenagers can learn a foreign language _____ than younger children.
A．harderB．more efficiently
C．more slowlyD．more carefully
【小題3】Which of the following possible explanations for older student’s better achievement is not mentioned in the above passage?
A．Adults know more about the world.B．Adults can use logical thinking
C．Adults have more self-discipline.D．Adults can read better.
