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.

Learning new cultures is one of my favorite things to do.
College is a time for new and exciting experiences as well as a time to explore diverse and innovative(创新的)ideas. What could be better than traveling to China to learn about their ideas, history, and culture? I believe studying abroad is something that every college student should do to help to expand his or her horizons, and to appreciate everything the world has to offer. I spent the first eight of my early years living abroad in two countries. From this rich period of growth, I acquired an identity as a global citizen, and the skills to independently navigate life in a foreign culture. It seems appropriate to support my next jump in life with an abroad experience that will show the directions in which I have grown since my early years, as well as provide a unique context for exploring the limits of my education.
Here is an undeniable advantage to living and studying in China; to be submersed in (投入)the Chinese life is the only way to fully understand and learn about how the country impacts and is impacted by the rest of the world. Not only am I learning about China, but I have also come to appreciate other countries in the world from a different point of view. Being in China has given me the change to learn in a different environment, and I do not think there is any better way to learn the culture than to actually be there. I have a very strong admiration for the Chinese language, people, and culture. I will continue to apply my newfound knowledge to my entire life and the way I look at the world around me.
1.What does the author say about studying abroad?
A. College can be barrier to study abroad
B. Studying abroad can replace the college education
C. Not every college student suits for studying abroad
D. Studying abroad can enrich the experiences of living abroad
2.What did the author benefit from living abroad?
A. Skills to live independently
B. All nationalities of the world
C. Growing to be a strong person
D. Unlimited education chances
3.What does the author advise students to do about learning foreign cultures?
A. Learn foreign cultures locally
B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do
C. Appreciate cultures from different point of views
D. Try to impact foreign cultures with their own ones

Ask 9-year-old Annie what the worst thing was that ever happened in her house last year, and she won’t tell you that it was her parents divorcing, although they did. No, what Annie remembers most are the horrible fights leading up to the announcement about the divorce which was, as it turned out, and despite her parents anxiety about telling her, “not that big of a deal.” “I already knew they were not getting along well,” Annie says, “Every night after I went to bed, l would hear my parents fighting.” It made me really unhappy. When they finally decided to get a divorce, all of that stopped.
Annie's experience is more common than you might think, and there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that “staying together for the sake of the children” is not all it's cracked up to be, and may do more harm than good. According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents argue is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce, and if you think that your children don’t know that there's trouble in family, then you're kidding yourself. The home life of children whose parents have an unhappy marriage is often far from ideal, and what's worse, parents will compound the problem by taking their unhappiness out on the children.
The Center for Moving Forward conducted a study in 2014 in which they followed 25families whose parents had been in marriage counseling. After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who had eventually gotten divorced were not worse off than the children of those who had remained together, and in some cases had fared better. The study took into consideration, social and the children's general sense of well-being.
1.Why was Annie really unhappy according to paragraph 1?
A.Her parents fought every night. B.Her parents finally got divorced.
C.Her parents decided to abandon her. D.Her parents got along badly with her.
2.Which statement may psychologist Lynn Martingdale agree with?
A.Separation and divorce will hurt the children most.
B.Keeping an unhappy marriage hurts children more.
C.Children can't understand their parents' marriage well.
D.Children can’t feel the unhappiness from their parents.
3.What's the function of the last paragraph in the passage?
A.To give an example of divorce.
B.To support Annie's correct answer.
C.To further clear the author's view point.
D.To highlight the importance of the study.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Divorce Is Good for Children B.Divorce Is Not the Worst Thing
C.Fighting Is Often Stressful D.Staying Together Is for Children Only

Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, better able to learn new things. But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.
An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's abilily to learn or their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent. Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education. He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.
"The evidence there is 'no'. We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music clases," said Mehr.Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. He says the results have been mixed. He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons. He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence. He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.
The researchers comfirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents.Mr Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words, "We teach music because music is important for us."
1.According to the new study, musical training______.
A. makes children smarter
B. helps a child express creativity
C. does not make children more intelligent
D. improve children's ability to learn in school
2.Samuel Mehr may agree that______.
A. the children who attended music class are smarter than those who attended arts class
B. IQ is a good measure of a child's intelligence
C. we needn't to teach children music
D. music training is still important for cultural reasons
3.In order to confirm his view, Samuel Mehr______.
A. conducted more than one research
B. interviewed many American adults
C. taught two groups of 4-yetr-olds music and arts
D. offered children a fast way to be admitted to the best schools
4.The artical may be taken from a report about _____.
A. health B. education C. culture D.economy
