For Chinese soccer fans, the new 2015 year is already an unusual year. After years of frustration, disappointment and disbelief with the national team, the 2015 Asian Cup is becoming successful, with China winning all three games and finishing first in Group B.First-round eliminations（淘汰赛） in the 2007 and 2011 Asian Cups have made the national team’s fans deeply disappointed. But China has created a wonder after victories over Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and North Korea.Perrin, a 58-year-old Frenchman who has coached two of his country’s biggest clubs——Lyon and Marseille, said，“After three difficult matches, we have a new record for Chinese football. We have nine points after the group stage. We have to keep working hard. That is what we are doing. We have a good team spirit. We believe in each other, work hard for each other and we want to do as well as we can.”“You can see that the fans are happy and enjoying this,”said Xu Haijing, a reporter.“It is the same back in China, with people starting to get behind the players and the coach. People are enjoying watching the team for the first time in years.”Although it was beaten by Australia at last, our team is already successful. Also Sun Ke has scored three goals in the match.It will take us a long time to fill the differences between China and the world’s soccer powers. To achieve this, our players must build a strong wish to win and confidence in victory, trying to catch up when failing behind and never giving up when running against all the chances.（）1.Chinese soccer team won 4 games in Group B.（）2. People didn’t enjoy watching Chinese football team in the last years.（）3. Lyon and Marseille are two of the biggest clubs in China.（）4. China had three games in the 2015 Asian Cup in all.（）5.

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, 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 Mechelli, 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 (密度) 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 bey ond 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 two and thirty-four. 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 languageB. man’s ability of learning a second languageC. that language can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study2．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner3．We may know from the scientific findings that ________.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time4．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC.
