              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.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 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 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 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 ______ .

              B. a second language learner
              C. a person who can speak two languages
              D. an active language learner
              (3) 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 a bad effect on people's brain
              D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

              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(灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles(肌肉).
              The study also found the effect is greater 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.

              The homestay (寄宿家庭) provides English language students with the good chance to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of an American home.
              What to Expect
              The host will provide places to live and meals. Rooms will be cleaned every day. And the host is there to offer help and advice on your physical and mental (精神的) health.
              Living Area
              Host families are mainly in Zones 2, 3and 4. Most hosts don't live in Zone 1because much of central New York is trading center. Zones 3and 4often offer larger houses in uncrowded areas. But it's very convenient to travel to the center of New York by subway.
              Meal Plans
              It's important to know that few American families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your breakfast mainly includes fruit juice, bread and coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not part of the breakfast. Dinners are usually made up of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee
              Friends
              If you wish to invite a friend to visit you, you must ask your host for permission (许可) first, because some families feel uncomfortable when there are strangers at their home.

              American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.
              Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about 30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
              In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.

              (1) What does the understand word "select" mean? ______
              A. Choose
              B. Like
              C. Treat
              D. Take
              (2) According to the text, American students ______ .
              A. don't have to ask for teaching plans
              B. don't have to choose teachers
              C. would like to choose strict teachers
              D. usually buy some used textbooks in order to save money
              (3) Which of the following is NOT TRUE? ______
              A. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too much homework
              B. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too many exams
              C. Students will choose the teacher who is called "killer".
              D. Students won't choose the teacher who gives too low marks

              A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement. Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical(古典的) art form and its history should be paid attention to.
              A Professor in music and music education at the University of NSW. Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
              Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage(遗产)because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack(缺乏)of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist(专业的)music teachers.
              A national review in 2005made 15suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
              "I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing," Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films."
              "At least children should know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the west."
              Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief (首席的) examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum (课程) in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study, such as the Mendelssohn's.
              "This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible," he says.

              (1) What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion? ______
              A. Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
              B. Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
              C. Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
              D. Australia schools need more specialist music teachers.
              (2) According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is ______ .
              A. part of culture heritage
              B. good for their growing up
              C. difficult to play and sing
              D. popular only in Asia
              (3) Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker? ______
              A. He worries about the music education in schools.
              B. He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
              C. He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
              D. He has worked in Britain,
              Canada and Australia.
              (4) From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______ .
              A. Music teachers should teach anything that they like.
              B. Most Children today are brought up by their music teachers.
              C. Music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all.
              D. Children's music education today depends on their teacher's taste.

              "USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
              It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
              But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
              Students must also learn to live without parents' care and do with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
              Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden*to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth?
              We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese coach. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

              (1) There are______ disadvantages(about studying abroad) mentioned in the passage.
              A. one
              B. two
              C. three
              D. four
              (2) This short passage are mainly written for______.
              A. students and teachers
              B. teachers and parents
              C. students and parents
              D. parents only
              (3) After reading,which of the following probably is writer's opinion about studying abroad?______
              A. Studying abroad is good for students' language skills.
              B. You should be more careful with the idea of studying abroad.
              C. Liuxiang is a good example of studying in America and China.
              D. Studying abroad is a good way for students to improve living skills.

              What would help parents understand their kids better?More than 8000US kids answered this question in an online program.
              Many US kids,two out three said they get along with their parents.But that doesn't mean they never disagree.In fact,most kids reported arguing with their parents,at least sometimes.And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other.
              "It's certainly normal to disagree and argue,"says Arcy Lyness,an American child doctor."But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully尊重地.Be patient.Don't use a raised,angry voice."
              And not surprisingly,three out of four kids said they had lied to their some times.So they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents.According to Lyness,lying isn't just wrong.It can actually have bad results.Telling the truth builds turst.
              But older kids lie more often than younger ones.Kids ages 12to 14not only said they lie more,but they also reported having less fun,feeling less close with their parents.
              According to Lyness,as kids become more independent 成功的,they have more areas of disagreement with their parents."Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey,"she says."As kids grow and change,it is important for everybody to change."
              (1) what can we learn from Paragraphs 2and 3? ______
              A. few kids argue with their parents.
              B. most kids get along with their parents.
              C. it's normal for kids to shout at their parents.
              D. to respect each other means having no arguments.
              (2) why do some kids lie to their parents? ______
              A. they are afraid of getting into trouble.

              Is Being Active Helpful for Better Grades?
              For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn't always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
              Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
              In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally ‘difficult' subjects, such as maths.
              What does this mean for children who aren't active? Researchers think that if kids don't get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
              In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes, played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn't do any activities. They took part in testing both before the experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
              All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively (消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
              Parents complain children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr.Belton, an expert, she said: " If you'd like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play."
