25、arter 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
26、 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 b
27、ilinguals” 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 s
28、maller 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
29、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
30、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 s

The underlined word “bilingual” probably
33、 means _.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner31. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _. A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths B. early learning of a second l
34、anguage helps you a great deal in studying other subjects C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language DIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using the
35、m again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he real
36、ly means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault . Have
37、you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memo
38、ry is being exercised the whole time.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.32Someone cant have a good memory if _.Ahe cant read or writeBhis parents havent a good memoryChe doesnt use his arms or legs for some timeDhe doe
