Christine and Elena grew up in the same suburb of Sydney and first met at kindergarten. They took to each other immediately and became inseparable friends throughout their school lives. Elena’s parents had emigrated from Greece to Australia, and her grandparents still lived on the small Greek island of Santorini, When she was 16, Elena visited her grandparents for the first time. On returning to Australia, she talked endlessly about her grandmother’s next-door neighbor. Mara. When Christine expressed puzzlement at Elena’s obsession(着魔) with people next door, Elena admitted that Maria had a handsome son called Nicos. She showed Christine a photo of him, standing next to his prize possession, a motorbike. Elena and Nicos exchanged emails for a while, but suddenly Nicos stopped writing. While not heartbroken, Elena was nevertheless hurt. A year later, when Christine announced that she too was going to visit Greece, Elena begged her to visit Santorini and say hello to Maria and Nicos. Christine agreed to do so. When she flew into Athens on an unseasonably cold day in September, she quickly realized that she hadn’t brought enough warm clothes. Walking through the streets of the Greek capital, she happened to see a nice coat in a shop window and went in to ask about the price. The coat was too expensive, but as Christine was about to leave the shop, the woman asked her where she was from. When Christine answered Australia, the woman agreed to reduce the price because she knew a nice girl from Australia called Elena. Christine then noticed a photo of a young man standing next to a motorbike. Her eyes opened wide with astonishment. It was Nicos! Indeed the young man was Nicos, and the woman in the shop was Maria. She had come to Athens from Santorini to look after the shop for a friend. Sadly, the story has a tragic ending. Nicos had been killed in a motorcycle accident. “I wanted to tell Elena,” said Maria. “But I didn’t know how. Now that I have met you, I know that it’s time to tell her.”

People playing computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, a new research suggests. In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive skills didn’t get any smarter． Researchers recruited（招募） participants from views of the BBC’s science show Bang Goes the Theory．More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week． They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet and answering general knowledge questions. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment．Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet．On some sections of the test, the people who surfed the Net scored higher than those who played the games. The study was published online by the journey Nature. “If you are playing these games because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britain’s Medical Research Council, the study’s lead author．“But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isn’t the case．”

Kids are far better than adults at learning how to speak multiple languages. Research now shows that very young infants might have some of the best language skills of all． A new study suggests that babies between 4 and 6 months old can tell the difference between two languages just by looking at the speaker's face．They don't need to hear word．Sometimes between 6-8 months of age, babies raised in homes where just one language is spoken lose this ability．Babies from bilingual(双语的) homes, on the other hand, keep the face-reading ability until they're at least 8 months old． Researchers in Canada studied 36 babies from English-speaking families．Twelve of the babies were 4 months old,12 were 6 months old, and the rest were 8 months old．Each baby sat on
his or her mother's lap and watched video clips(电影片断) of a woman talking．The woman was fluent in both English and French．In some clips, she read from a storybook in English．In other clips, she read in French．In all of the videos there was no sound． After watching clip after clip of the woman reading in just one language, the babies eventually started to look away, apparently because they were bored．The researchers then showed the babies a new silent clip of the woman reading a story in the other language．At that point, the 4-month-olds and 6-month-olds started looking at the screen again．The 8-month-old,by contrast, paid no attention．That suggests that a baby's ability to distinguish between languages get lost before 8 months of age． \learning than previously expected,\．It's not yet clear, she adds, which part of the speaker's face babies are looking at for clues．Next, scientists want to see whether babies can match faces with the voices of foreign-language speakers．If babies can do this, the scientists would then like to know if this ability also declines toward the end of the first year of life．
63．What is mainly discussed in the passage ? A．Language teaching． B．Language learning C．Babies and language learning D．Parents and language teaching
64．What do the underlined word in the second paragraph refer to ? A．Two or more． B．Foreign. C．difficult. D．At least one. 65．We can know from the passage that . A．all the babies in the study are of the same age． B．the babies could hear the woman's voice while watching the videos． C．the stories the woman read were written in either French or German． D．it's still unknown how babies could tell the difference between languages． 66．Why did the 8-month-old pay no attention when the language was changed ? A．They had lost the ability to distinguish different languages． B．They were too tired to open their eyes and fell asleep． C．They couldn't hear what the speaker was talking about． D．They had lost the interest in bilingual speakers．
