[1]If you think 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?
[2]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.
[3]The researchers also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second
language.
[4]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(通兩種
語言的人)", who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of
later learners.
[5]Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people
without_________. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller
the difference was.
[6] "Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning
a second language," said the scientists.
[7]It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
[8]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," he said, "You are actually going beyond language and have a
better understanding of different ideas."

     [1] Teenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet, a new study shows. It is
not clear, researchers say, whether television itself is the reason, but it is possible that things like snacking in
front of the TV or seeing ads for junk food influence young people's diets.
     [2] The study included nearly 1,400 high school students. It showed that those who watched TV for five
hours or more every day had less healthy diets than other students five years later. As a group, they ate fewer
fruits and vegetables, but ate more fast food, snack products and fried foods.
     [3]"We're not able to tell why," lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson said."But we have some
speculations(推測)." People who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may have more
snack. It may influence their long-term diet quality. It's also possible that TV ads for fast food, sweets and
snacks make teenagers eat more of those foods. TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.
     [4] The researchers found a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality of the
young. The heaviest TV viewers five years later, and those who'd watched fewer than two hours every day
had the most fruits and vegetables.
     [5] According to Barr-Anderson, the findings support experts' advice that children should watch no more
than two hours of television every day."Parents should cut the TV time." Barr-Anderson said. She advised that
parents set a good example by eating right, being physically active and controlling their own TV time.
1. Complete the following sentence according to the underlined one in Paragraph 3.(no more than 5 words) 
    Some children may spend much time watching TV instead of _____.
2. What does" it" refer to in Paragraph 1 line2 mean? (no more than 3 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
 3. According to Barr-Anderson, what should parents do to set a good example for their children?

a volcano!

       1   . If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out,
or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always
searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
     The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values.
I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values.    2    I suggest to my clients that they
choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values
are:kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give
to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these
character traits becomes your life purpose. 
       3   . These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is
what yu receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and
conditions in your life.
     When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices
rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think
and act like a calm person.    4   . If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible
or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal
power.
     When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen
beliefs.    5   .
A. Young people have a different set of values.
B. You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.
C. Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.
D. Your being values are the character traits (特征,特點) of the ideal person you would like to be.
E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.
F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.
G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people
    think of you.
