【题目】Are you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.

New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.

When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.

To make sure it wasn’t just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that’s literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.

When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.

The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one.

【1】Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?

A. To raise a question.

B. To arouse readers’ awareness.

C. To introduce the topic.

D. To tell a story.

【2】The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.

A. pictures B. volunteers

C. an image D. a kind of food

【3】From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. different images would change with different people

B. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo

C. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fish

D. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased

【4】According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?

A. To surround himself with that culture.

B. To create an island of the old one.

C. To see random images of China.

D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.

How smartphones could be ruining your relationship

We carry our smartphones with us wherever we go. We didn’t have the time to set any boundaries for smartphone usage, and now we find ourselves unable to save our relationships. Smartphones are very useful in many circumstances. 【1】

Lack of mindfulness

We become totally lost in our digital lives. Smartphones get in the way of our relationships, making it impossible for us to wholeheartedly devote our attention to the present moment.2

Loss of communication

In fact, some people talk more about their relationships on Facebook than they do face-to-face with the person they’re actually in a relationship with! 3 Why not do something together, other than sitting side by side staring at the displays on your individual phones? Excessive (过度的) smartphone use makes it impossible for us to build any new, sincere relationships.

Prioritizing (优先) the wrong models of communication

4 We damage our happiness and harm our relationships, failing to see which is more important in our life. Small, precious moments are slipping away because we’re focused on reading all of our emails, and we get unreasonably anxious if we put our phones away even for 30 minutes.

5

Unless you put boundaries to your phone usage, you will become addicted to it. We shouldn’t feel stressed and anxious when we’re in phone-free areas. We should be happy that we can value special moments happening each day and make good use of our time and our relationships.

A. Breakdown of elationships

B. Stress and smartphone separation anxiety

C. However, they can harm our relationships in indirect ways.

D. As a result, we lose many moments that are special and never to be lived again.

E. You don’t even have to take a smartphone addiction test to see if you’re addicted to it.

F. Why choose to communicate through social media, rather than enjoy a friend’s company?

G. We’ve become addicted to digital communication, regarding real-life communication as secondary.
