Researchers in the 1960s found bilingual（双语的）people scored higher on intelligence （智力）tests than monolinguals—people who speak only one language. The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer, but it probably does make you better at certain skills.

Imagine driving down the highway. There are many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?

The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function（功能）called the executive control system. It’s quite possibly the most important system we have because it’s where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore（忽视），what to process are made.

The best method to measure（测量）the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. Suppose you would have the word blue written in red but you have to say the colour red. But “blue” is so eye-catching, and you really want to say “blue”. You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red. That’s the Stroop Test.

Bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have trends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer’s disease.

John and Ann are from Dublin, Ireland. They’ve been friends since they were children. They lived in the same neighbourhood (社区) when they were young and they went to the same university.

Today John is a 34-year-old policeman. He works in the heart of Dublin. He is very busy and doesn’t have much free time. He found a maid (女佣) to clean his house on Saturdays, but during the week he has to make the bed and tidy up his room. He must also wash the dishes. Sometimes he cooks a meal, but most of the time he stops at a restaurant near his home and buys a meal for dinner. He often arrives home very late. Luckily, his maid is quite professional and takes good care of the house. In just 6 hours, the house becomes clean, with a fresh look and clean air.

Ann is 35 years old. She lives in a small village in Dublin. She works as a doctor at the village’s health centre. She starts working at 9 am and finishes at 4 pm. There is a half-hour lunch break at 12:30 pm. After work, Ann has to pick up her two daughters from school. After they arrive home, the children do their homework while Ann prepares dinner. Her husband usually does part of the housework when he gets home. First he prepares the children’s bath and then he washes clothes. Before dinner, he hangs (挂) up the clothes and then the children help him to lay the table (摆放餐具) and ... it’s dinner time! After dinner, Ann’s husband usually does the dishes while she tidies up the kitchen. When there is too much rubbish, she takes it out.

Two months ago, my family moved to Planet Zox. There are species (物种) from many different planets on Planet Zox. In fact, I liked my new planet till it was time to start school.

“I’m worried,” I told my parents that first morning. “Nobody there will be like me.”

“They don’t have to be like you to be friends with you,” Mum said.

When I got to school, I kept an eye out for other humans (人). I found a few in the halls, but I was the only one in my class. Nobody talked to me all morning. At lunch, I found that all the other humans were eating with other species. I found only one table with empty (空的) chairs. There, alone, sat one of my classmates, Hululialana. She had many tentacles (触手). I spoke to her with great care (关心), “Hello, Hululialana.”

Slowly, one of her tentacles pulled (拉) a chair closer to me.

I sat down. “Thank you,” I said. We looked at each other, then away.

“How’s your first day going?” I quickly asked.

“I wish I were still at my old school,” she said.

“I miss my old school too,” I said.

“But you’re not the only human__I’m the only Hulu.”

I thought for a minute and said, “That makes you special.”

“That makes me a freak (怪人),” she said.

“Well, let’s be freaks together.”

Then, for the first time, Hululialana smiled.

After that day, school on Planet Zox began to be pretty fun.
