26、 If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammars and sometimes strange pronunciations, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
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.
The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mecheli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language, ”said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
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 (灵活的), ”he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world, ” explained the scientists.
【1】The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A.science on learning a second language B.man’s ability of learning a second language
C.language study can help improve brain power D.language learning and maths study
【2】In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.
A.say language is also a kind of physical labor
B.prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C.show the importance of using the language when you learn it
D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
【3】The word “bilinguals” (Paragraph 3) probably means ________.
A.researchers on language learning B.second language learners
C.persons who can speak two languages D.active language learners
27、 Health insurance can be very expensive. Some working people do not make enough money to pay for it. In the US there is a program called Healthy Families. This program offers people health insurance at a low cost.
Families are charged about $7.00 a month for every child, and $10.00 for every adult. It costs much less than any other kind of health insurance. Having health insurance is very important. With this insurance, people can see a doctor when they are sick or hurt.
The program is not expensive at all, but many people are still not enrolling (登记) in it. People say that it still costs too much money. They need all of their money to pay for things like food and rent.
It would be great if everyone could have health insurance. People are working hard to come up with ways to make this happen. One idea is to make the Healthy Families Program free for some people.
It is important for people to see a doctor when they need to. The Healthy Families Program makes it possible for more people to do this. Many ideas are being considered. Hopefully some of them will allow even more families to get health insurance.
The Healthy Families Program is made to help those who don’t have welfare (社会保障金) and cannot earn enough to pay for private health insurance. It is an important program, but officials say that too many people are signing up for it and then dropping out (退出) because of the Healthy Families Program’s cost.
【1】The aim of the Healthy Families Program is to ____________.
A.help people earn more and pay for the program
B.make it free for people to see a doctor
C.help more families get health insurance
D.help families pay for private health insurance
【2】If a couple have two children, how much would health insurance cost every month?
A.$34. B.$40. C.$28. D.$24.

C.the program is still too expensive for many people
D.many people don’t make enough money to pay for health insurance
28、 Humans produce 300 million tons of plastic waste every year -which is roughly equivalent (相当于) to the total weight of all humans living right now. But a new discovery offers hope, and could improve the way we deal with plastic.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have designed a plastic that can be recycled (回收) over and over again, and turned into new materials of any color, shape, or form. They are calling it polydiketoenamine or PDK, and this new plastic can be broken apart all the way down to the molecular (分子的) level.
Brett Helms, the staff scientist at the Berkeley Lab who led the research, told ABC News that the new discovery “could significantly reduce the leakage (泄漏) of plastics into the environment.”
“That broken black watchband you threw in the rubbish could find new life as a computer keyboard if it’s made with our PDK plastics”, Helms said.
Many plastics used today were made with chemicals that make them stronger, but these chemicals can also make it more difficult to fully recycle the material or recycle them repeatedly. Over time, researchers say, even ‘recyclable’ plastics may end up in a landfill.
The Berkeley Lab says these types of chemicals had previously prevented plastic from achieving “the holy grail of recycling,” and that PDK plastic might be the answer.
“If these factories were designed to recycle or upcycle PDK and related plastics, then we would be able to more effectively remove plastic from landfills and the oceans,” Helms said.
Researchers say the next plan is to develop PDK plastics to use in cloth, building materials, and 3D printing.
The researcher’s findings are published in full in Nature Chemistry.
【1】What is the clear advantage of PDK plastics over many plastics used today?
A.PDK plastics are light.
B.PDK plastics are strong.
C.PDK plastics can be recycled repeatedly.
D.PDK plastics are used the most widely in the world.
【2】According to Helms, a computer keyboard thrown into rubbish ________.
A.is useless B.can be recycled
C.can be used again D.is not made with PDK plastics
【3】The underlined words “the holy grail” in the passage probably mean ________.
A.the final goal B.the new discovery
C.the bad condition D.serious pollution
【4】What are the researchers going to do next?
A.Publish their findings. B.Find new ways to use PDK plastics.
C.Sell their new discovery. D.Produce more PDK plastics.

Powerful snowmobile
With this turbocharged (涡轮增压的) snowmobile, getting over snow and ice will be snow problem. The Snow Crawler snowmobile is designed with two skis under its front end. Below its back end is a pair of tracks, or rubber belts around a set of wheels. Inside it's heated, so jump inside, start up the engine, and listen as the wheels start to turn the tracks. Each track is designed to grip (抓住) slippery surfaces easily, allowing the snowmobile to move over them without difficulty. Let it snow!
Floating furniture
It's easy to fall asleep in the special bed. This comfortable sleeping place is a plastic, water﹣filled mattress (气垫) that's designed to adapt to the shape of the person lying on it. Simply kick off your shoes and climb onto the bed. As you lie there, the mattress will hug your body. Meanwhile, the water in the mattress will gently rock you from side to side. It's a similar feeling to floating on your back in a pool. The mattress even heats up to make you extra comfortable. Now that's a dream bed.
Smart insoles (鞋垫)
This might take shoes in a new direction. The Lechal company has created shoe insoles that "tell" wearers how to get from one place to another. How do they work? Put the insoles into your shoes. The insoles are built to vibrate(震动). They are also connected wirelessly to your smartphone. Pull up the Lechal app on your phone and type in your destination. The app uses GPS to map out the quickest path for you to walk. Every time you need to take a left or right, the app signals the correct insole to vibrate so you know which direction to turn. That's amazing.
【1】What can we learn about the Snow Crawler snowmobile？
A.It uses little energy. B.It can work in snowy areas.
C.It is designed to clear snow. D.It loses control on icy surfaces.
【2】How would people feel lying on the mattress？
