　　If English means endless new words and difficult grammar, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become more 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 (中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的灰質(zhì)). 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 earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect.

　　A team of experts from London took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” (能說兩種語言的人) who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.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 Walse has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills.”Having two languages dives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(靈活的)”。 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 2 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.

　　60.What does the underlined word “ grey matter” (in Paragraph 2)refer to ?

　　A.grey hair

　　B.material of the brain

　　C.intelligence

　　D.difficult situations

　　The experience of learning a second language can__________.

　　A.change one’s brain completely

　　B.improve one’s maths skills

　　C.make one smarter than others

　　D.increase the ability to learn.

　　62. We can learn from the passage that_________.

　　A.the researchers from UCL did another study in Italian

　　B.a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a second language

　　C.the research done on the Italians shows a totally different result.

　　D.it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language

　　63. What ‘s the main idea of the passage?

　　B.You should learn a second language if English is not your native language.

　　“I Went Skyping at 84!”

　　As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time,I told my husband that I wanted to skype. So when our retirement community（社區(qū)）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

　　In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skype, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this.I deeided to realize my dream,even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

　　On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落傘）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air ballon. I was just enjoying it.

　　Skyping was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.

　　68. What happened to the auther in 2001?

　　A. She flew an airplane

　　B. She entered a competition

　　C. She went on a hot air balloon ride

　　D. She moved into a retirement community

　　69. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to___________ ??????.

　　B. show her admiration for him

　　C. compare their health conditon

　　D. make her argument persuasive

　　70. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?
