Reading aloud helps a cluld to read -Mth pleasure,create background knowledge,and build

young children Parents should continue reading aloud as their childre n grow because listening

comprehension is more importarit than reading skills in middle schoo l.

reading to chiidren at all is stopping too soon Until about the eight h grade,children listen aml

comprehend on a higher level than their reading skills allow them to read independently, This

means children can hear and understand stories that are more difficult and more interesting than

anything they can read on their own

Whenevcr you buy something,it is possible that someone has alread y worn,eaten,or teste.d

it to make sure it is safe and do what is supposed to do. But what if you wanted a special suit to

keep a shark from hurting you? Who wanta +o test a product like i t?

"I do! " says Jeremiah Sullwan,a scientist in California "You have to believe in what you

sell,right?"

Sullivan. owns SharkArmor Tech,a company that makes a $ 494 00 sharksuit that even a

great white shark can- t bite through Before Sullivan could sell his s harksuits,he needed to

make sure his design would work. Sullivan put on the sharksuit and jumped into a shark feeding

ground. "I need to know exactly what a human body could expect to go through," he says.

Sharks moved ali ar.ound Hm and then attacked his arm. Sullivan f elt the bite but no teeth.He was uncomfortable at times,but not painfuL The suit works! "

"I,ve now been bitten thousands of times but.never badly," says Sull ivan,who now works with shows like Wild Kingdmn, ana programs for th e Disco'oery Channel s Shan~ Week.

So,are you all set to buy a sharksuit? Before you do,you should k now that th. e suit weighs

20 pounds and makes swimming almost impossible-not so practical f or a day on the beach. And

in fact, Sullivan wants only .professionals, such as filmmakers, scienti sts and drivers, to have

sharksuits. Why? Because even if someone is wearing a sharksuit,the y could get seriously hurt

if they treat diving with a 4,OOO-pound shark as a game.

During sharksuit testing,sharks have thrown Sullivan to a bottom o/ reefs(磙) and tried to

take him off into the deepest part of the ocean. "However," Sullivan sa}fs,"you don't need to

be afraid of sharks. It-s actually pretty hard to get a shark to bite y ou, "

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects o f aging on the brain,

a new study has found,

Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cogrutive(认知的) task

to another,something that-s knovrn to take longer for older adults,said lead researcher,Brian

Gold,a neuroscientist ar the Uruversif.y of Kentucky.

Gold-s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older a dults,knowing th.ey

would fjp.d slower speeds in the older population because of previou s studies. However,they

fouiid that oider adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster

cietlned in tne st,idy as peopie speaking a second iangUage aaily sin ce they wereat ieast 10 yeats

old

Gold and his team asked 30 people,either bilingual o: nionolingual (只僮一种语言人) ,tu

have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not oni y able to switch tasks

faster-they had different brain acti/ty than their monolingual peers.

Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experimentY, because people grow up

speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefjfs from

sv,tching between languages aml determirung whi:h to respond with b ased on what's going on

around them.

Gold said he grew up in Montreal,where he spoke Frencb. at school and Er.glish at hcme,

promptipg relatives to question v:hether his French language immersio n would somehow hinder

his abiiity to learn Englisl:.

"Until wery recently9 liearning a second language in childhood was t hought of as danger-

ous," he said. "Actually,it's beneficial. "

72. What-s the main idea of the passage?

A Researchers found that speaking two languages is hnportant.

B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.

C. Researchers found that bilingual peopie can slow down the spe ed or aging on the brain

and respond fast.

D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.

B. Older add.ts speaking a second language daily since tF,ey were at least 10 years old can

respond faster than those who don't

C. Young biiinguals can respond fast:er in mind tnan those monoli nguals.

D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolingu als.
