阅读理解

    The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only speak English.  This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.

    Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.

    One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you're more independent (独立). People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.

    Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.

    Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other.

    The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

(1)、What is the passage mainly about?
A、The importance of learning English. B、The benefits of learning another language. C、How to learn foreign languages well. D、The reasons why people come to America.
(2)、The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to    .
A、discuss the need for teaching a new language B、introduce the passage's main characters to us C、show the problems of speaking only one language D、describe the advantages of moving to a new country
(3)、The underlined phrase "multi-language speakers" means "people who know      ".
A、body language B、mother language C、a new language D、over one language
(4)、According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can    .
A、play jokes on your friends B、communicate more independently C、enter the university more easily D、better understand nature and science
(5)、Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A、Forgetting one's mother language. B、Not knowing another language. C、Refusing to learn another language. D、Spending much time on language.
举一反三

    Some people seem to have unusual memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a "memory athlete" on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!

    You would think people like him must have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland, the brain structure (结构) of ordinary people and 23 of the world's leading memory athletes shows no difference.

    Good memories can be trained. New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training.

    Researchers found that a technique (技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.

    By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain's memory networks. You can link (关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.

    In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns. At the beginning, they could only remember 26 words, but when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.

"Not everyone can become a memory winner. But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly," said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress

    Everybody gets stressed from time to time.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Some ways of dealing with stress like screaming or hitting someone--don't solve (解决)much. But other ways like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solve your problem or at least feel better.

    Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

    ⑴Get support.   When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

    ⑵Don't take it out on yourself.   Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    ⑶Try to solve the problem.   After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

    ⑷Be positive.   Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work~ And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
