阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)
_[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(通两种语言的人)”, 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.”

Snack time is a part of the day for children of all ages. But new research suggests that kids snacking in big groups could be at risk for obesity.

Scientists from American University looked at the eating behavior of 54 kids between the ages of 2 and 6. At snack time, the scientist watched the amount of food each child ate while they were in groups of either three or nine. According to the study, the more children there are in a group, the more likely they are to eat more. Those in the larger group ate nearly 30 percent more than those in the smaller group, and they actually ate faster.

Since this is the first such study in children, scientists are quick to point out the importance of encouraging healthy habits in kids as early as possible.

“If you know kids eat more in large groups, it seems perfect to use this information to keep snack groups small or use small tables,” says Dr. Jana Klauer, an expert in New York.

Smaller groups would allow for a quiet and more relaxing environment-a perfect chance to teach children about food, manners and how to know when they feel full. “This would have an effect on kids' eating,” adds Klauer. “They would slow down and eat less.”

1.How many times have the scientists done such study according to the passage?

A.Once

B.Twice

C.Three times

D.Many times

2.The underlined word means”      ”in Chinese.

A.健康

B.肥胖

C.瘦弱

D.服从

3.Why do children in smaller groups lose weight?

A.Because children in smaller groups eat faster.

B.Because children in smaller groups don't like eating.

C.Because children in smaller groups don't know about food.

D.Because children in smaller groups eat slowly and eat less.

4.The best title of the passage is “         ”

A.Snack Time

B.Different Groups

C.Eating More

D.Food for Kids

 

Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.

One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.”
