You probably hear it all the time — people telling you to “l(fā)earn English”. But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don’t need to bother learning a new language? Not at all. In fact, an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages, thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism.

Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delaysa late or absent development of talking. But US magazine Scientific American has revealed that this is not true, and reported that children who speak more than one language “show greater mental flexibility, a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory.” As the New York Times put it, “being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter.”

In Europe, learning foreign languages is increasingly popular. A European report shows that from 2005-2010, the percentage of European students learning a foreign language rose from 67.5 percent to 79.2 percent. Most European kids start learning another language at age 6. In Belgium, it starts at 3. New reforms being introduced in the UK will mean all children could be taught a foreign language, such as Mandarin or Greek, from the age of 7. The most popular foreign language for European kids was English, followed by German and French.

In comparison, Americans don’t give a fig for learning foreign languages. Compared to 50 percent of European adults who are bilingual, only 9 percent of adults in the US are fluent in more than one language, according to a 2011 report. American students are often not exposed to a second language until high school.

However, recent statistics show demand is growing in the US for people to become more bilingual. According to a USA Today chart released in July, 21 percent of US children speak another language at home. A number of institutions in the country are also pushing foreign languages in schools. Three school districts in Delaware will launch Chinese and Spanish programs next year. More people are learning Chinese, French and Spanish.

1.Psychologist used to believe that children who grow up bilingual ________.

A. are more flexible mentally

B. are slow in the development of talking

C. have a poorer working memory

D. are smarter in understanding abstract concept

2.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. Americans are more interested in learning another language than Europeans

B. British kids began to learn foreign languages at the earliest age

C. 21% of US children study a foreign language in the school

D. not all schools in America are teaching foreign languages

3.What does the underlined phrasegive a fig for in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Attach importance to

B. Have talent for

C. Invest money in

D. Have demand for

4.Which are the most popular foreign languages in the US?

A. Mandarin and Greek

B. English, German and French

C. Chinese, French and Spanish

D. Chinese, German and Greek

5.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Chinese is becoming more popular in western countries.

B. The benefits and advantages of growing up bilingual.

C. Western worlds are paying more attention to learning foreign languages.

D. The differences between bilingual education in Europe and USA.

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早戀) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “l(fā)oss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “l(fā)ose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “l(fā)oss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression--eating or mood changes--and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.

1.Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

B. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

3.Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?

A. Confused.     B. Disinterested.      C. Scared.      D. Disapproving.

4.Whats the main idea of the passage?

A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

B. Parents should forbid their childrens love.

C. Romance is a two? edged sword for adults.

D. Romance is good for young people.
