21、As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的)connections with language study that can avoid dementia(痴呆)by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.
In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simplest training, the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well, ”said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.
Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language that as for immersion(沉浸)in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family? Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.
Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles(字幕)too, so you can see which words are being used.
【1】What does the new study in Paragraph 1 find?
A.Kids often travel a lot on their own.
B.Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.
C.Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.

A.Helping kids form good learning habits.
B.Making parents control kids easily.
C.Keeping kids focusing on the classroom.
D.Having more chances to learn in different situations.

A.Try to take others’ advice less.
B.Fit in with new learning environment.
C.Be willing to accept others’ comments.
D.Spend much time doing housework.
22、With the graduation season approaching, millions of young college students are preparing to walk out of their schools and start their careers, But how will they take those first steps to transition (转变) from students to workers in today’s fast-paced society?
A new show, the Shining One from Jiangsu TV, has caught the attention of young viewers who hope to learn how the graduates are adjusting to this transition. It follows a group of students as they compete to be one of nine candidates (候选人) who will get offers from companies in the highly-competitive securities (证券) industry.

The show has become a hot talking point on social media platforms. Many viewers have said they see the show as “a guide book for young people just starting their career ”. It offers a glimpse into various aspects of the real world such as following one's passion, facing challenges and embracing, the spirit of cooperation.
One of the hot discussions on the show has been the debate over the importance of meeting deadlines and the pursuit of perfection. Some argued that in real life, you may have to take more time with a task to make it perfect, while others said it is more important for these green hands to hand in their work on time, which is the most important rule in the professional surroundings.

23、Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
【1】What is true about children when they play games?
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
