25、The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in 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 cannot 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 to you, so you’re more independent. 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’s problems.
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 silent.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The benefits of learning other languages.
B.The reasons why people come to America.
C.The importance of learning English.
D.How to learn another language.
【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 the readers
C.describe the advantages of moving to another country
D.show the problems of speaking only one language
【3】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can _______.
A.find a better job
B.make more friends
C.better understand history
D.communicate more independently
【4】Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A.Not knowing another language.
B.Forgetting one’s mother language.
C.Refusing to learn another language.
D.Failing to communicate with others.

Here are some tips for us to be safe in an easy way . For example , we must remember some important rules in the playground. Before we do sports , we need to do some warm up activities , and after that we should drink some water. And in the classroom , we need to learn how behave well . Don’t run in the hallways . We mustn’t fight with or run after each other . And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running . We students should remember not to be naughty and get ourselves into trouble . What’s more , we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire . In this way , we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school . We should learn to use the fire extinguisher(灭火器)too, I don’t think we should put out a fire by ourselves , because it is too dangerous for young students . Well , I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.

27、 Scientist Stephen Hawking had to work really hard to speak.He chose letters and words from a screen controlled by movements of a muscle in his cheek.However,the slow system he used might soon be replaced.With a very different approach,doctors have found a way to get a person’s speech directly from their brain.
The system uses brain-reading software.It works only for sentences it has been trained on. Doctors at the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF) set out to create a better product, which allows people who are paralyzed (瘫痪的) to communicate more quickly than Hawking’s device,which uses muscle twitches(抽搐)to control a keyboard.
The Study of Brain Activity
The work was possible thanks to three patients.They had epilepsy(癫痫症).This is a condition that has something to do with the nerves.It causes seizures(痉挛).This is when their body suddenly moves on its own.They were about to have surgery(外科手术)for their condition.
Before their surgery,they had a small device placed on their brain for at least a week.It was used to map their seizures.The patients could speak normally,and they agreed to take part in Doctor Chang’s study.The doctor used the devices to record brain activity while each patient was asked nine questions.The patients were also asked to read a list of 24 possible responses.
Using the recordings,Chang and his team built computer models.The models learned to match patterns of brain activity to the questions the patients heard and the answers they spoke.Once trained,the software could identify questions and responses almost instantly.It used only brain signals.It was correct on what question a patient heard 7 out of 10 times.The software identified what response they gave 6 out of 10 times.
Improving Software to Read More Varied Speech
Even with the breakthrough,there are hurdles ahead.One challenge is to improve the software so it can translate brain signals into a variety of speech.This will require software trained on a huge amount of spoken language and matching brain signals.These signals will be different from one person to another.
Another goal is to read “imagined speech”,or sentences spoken in the mind.The system in the study detects brain signals that are sent to move the mouth.However,for some patients these signals may not be enough.More advanced ways of reading sentences in the brain will be needed.
【1】From the passage,we can learn that ______.
A.the three patients with epilepsy have difficulty in speaking
B.Stephen Hawking’s system is controlled by his brain signals
C.the patients chose from nine responses to answer 24 questions
D.the brain-reading software can only recognize a few sentences now
【2】What does the word hurdles in paragraph 6 mean?
A.Risks. B.Difficulties.
C.Possibilities. D.Disadvantages.
【3】The purpose of the last two paragraphs is to _______.
A.tell us the disadvantages of the software
B.present the possible future of the software
C.explain the process of designing the software
D.show the author’s opinion toward the software
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Different devices to help paralyzed people to communicate.
B.Different ways to develop software that can help paralyzed people.
C.Doctors have started to explore software to read people’s brain signals.
D.The study showed the system could translate brain signals into a variety of speech.
