40、r 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 sim
41、ilar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, 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
42、” 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
43、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 betwee
44、n bilingualism and math 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 h
45、ad learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. 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.63. The main
46、subject talked about in this passage is _.A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second languageC. language can help brain power D. language learning and math study64. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_.A. say language is also a kind
47、of physical laborB. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a languageC. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well65. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means_.A. a researche
48、r on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner 66. We may know from the scientific findings that_.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density isB. there is no difference between a later
49、 second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the timeDThe Chinese-born American architect Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most creative archite
