Ships are the lifeline f trade amng cuntries. Almst everything, frm fd t machinery, cmes by way f the sea in huge ships pilted by captains. But the captain f a ship is respnsible fr guiding the vessel(轮船) until they hit a prt, waiting t enter the harbr. The task f bringing the ship int the harbr and dcking(停泊) it is taken up by a different captain. This captain is called a marine(海洋的) pilt.
A marine pilt is a bat pilt with specialized knwledge f a particular prt r harbr. The pilt is needed t direct large ships int a prt, where there are ften deep-water channels surrunded by shallwer seabeds. Withut the services f a marine pilt, dcking ships wuld be hazardus.

Peple wh speak tw languages may be better at shifting their attentin frm ne thing t anther cmpared t thse wh speak ne, accrding t a study published this mnth in the jurnal Bilingualism. The study examined differences between bilingual and mnlingual individuals when it cmes t attentinal cntrl and ignring infrmatin that isn’t imprtant at the time, said its authrs Grace deMeurisse and Edith Kaan. They set ut t see if differences between the tw grups wuld surface and used a task t measure the participants’ abilities t deal with incming infrmatin and cntrl their attentin.
“Our results shwed that bilinguals seem t be mre efficient at ignring infrmatin that’s irrelevant.” deMeurisse said. “One explanatin fr this is that bilinguals are cnstantly switching between tw languages and need t shift their attentin away frm the language nt in use.” Fr example, if an English-and Spanish-speaking persn is having a cnversatin in Spanish, bth languages are active, but English is put n hld but always ready t be used as needed.
The tw grups f subjects included functinal mnlinguals and bilinguals. Functinal mnlinguals were defined as thse wh had tw years r less f a freign language experience in a classrm and use nly the first language that they learned as a child. Bilinguals were categrized as peple wh had learned bth their first and secnd language befre the ages f 9 t 12 and were still using bth languages.
Kaan explained that an individual’s cgnitive(认知的) traits cntinuusly adapt t external factrs. The researchers were als clear t pint ut that their study was nt intended t shw that peple wh speak tw r mre languages have an advantage ver thse wh speak ne. “Hwever, regardless f cgnitive differences, learning a secnd language is always ging t be smething that can benefit yu, whether thse benefits are cgnitive, scial, r envirnmental.” deMeurisse said. “It will never be a negative t be expsed t a secnd language.”
32. What is the finding f the study?
A. Speaking tw languages cntributes t the develpment f brain.
B. Bilinguals are mre cmpetent t deal with incming infrmatin.
C. The bilingual brain may be better at ignring irrelevant infrmatin.
D. The differences between bilinguals and mnlinguals are distinct.
33. Why is an English-and Spanish-speaking persn mentined in Paragraph 2?
A. T present the fact f bilinguals having advantages.
B. T explain the flexible switching ability f bilinguals.
C. T clarify the cncept f bilinguals and mnlinguals.
D. T predict the bright future f learning tw languages.
34. Which f the 8-year-ld bys can be called a functinal mnlingual?
A. An American by wh is a Chinese beginning learner.
B. A Japanese by wh’s gd at English and ften uses it in life.
C. A Chinese by wh’s learning English, but uses Chinese nly.
D. A French by wh uses bth French and English in his daily life.
35. What is the purpse f the study?
A. T raise peple’s awareness f being a bilingual.
B. T cnfirm the benefits f learning mre languages.
C. T emphasize the imprtance f learning freign languages.
D. T find cgnitive differences between bilinguals and mnlinguals.

I’m sure yu will fall in lve with it the mment yu try. Lking frward t yur reply.

Here’s what ur visitr, Mr Ahmed has t say...
When I was little, my father, wh lves nature, wuld ften take me t Bird Paradise Park. We never missed the bird shws and were awed by the birds’ shw-stp ping antics. I lved watching the interactive feeding sessins and learning mre abut the birds. Nw that I’m a father myself. I make it a pint t bring my family here. Thugh my sns d nt share my passin fr feeding the birds, they’re always thrilled by the bird shws. I’m glad that the park is starting a campaign n saving the Blue Parrts frm extinctin.
This park is fully funded by the Tan Fundatin—a cmmunity effrt
