If English means endless new wrds, difficult grammar and smetimes strange prnunciatin, yu are wrng. Haven’t yu nticed that yu have becme smarter since yu started t learn a language?
Accrding t a new study by a British university, learning a secnd language can lead t an increase in yur brain pwer. Researchers fund that learning ther languages changes gray matter. This is the area f the brain which prcesses infrmatin. Like exercise shapes and strengthens muscles, learning a language can have a similar effect n yur brain.
The study als fund the effect is greater, if the yunger peple learn a secnd language. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, frm University Cllege Lndn, tk a grup f Britns wh nly spke English. They were cmpared with a grup f “early bilinguals” wh had learnt a secnd language befre the age f five, as well as a number f later learners.
Scans shwed that gray matter density（灰质密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in peple withut a secnd language. But the lnger a persn waited befre mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure（结构）f the brain is changed by the experience f learning a secnd language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability t learn.
Prfessr Dylan Vaughan Jnes f the University f Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having tw languages gives yu tw windws n the wrld and makes the brain mre flexible,” he said. “Yu are actually ging beynd language and have a better understanding f different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study f native Italian speakers wh had learned English as a secnd language between the ages f tw and thirty-fur. Reading, writing, and cgnitin（认知）were all tested. The results shwed that the yunger they started t learn, the better. “Studying a language means yu can enter anther wrld,” explained the scientists.
32. In the secnd paragraph, the writer mentins “exercise” in rder t _________.
A. encurage a regular fitness practice and an active lifestyle
B. shw the imprtance f using the language when learning
C. suggest that learning a secnd language can imprve physical fitness
D. highlight the similarities between language learning and physical exercise
33. Accrding t the passage, what did the study led by Dr Andrea Mechelli shw?
A. Learning a secnd language increases gray matter density.
B. Later language learning has a bigger influence n brain structure.
C. Language learning leads t lwer gray matter density in the brain.
D. Learning a secnd language has n effect n the structure f the brain.
34. We can learn frm the passage that _________.
A. learning a secnd language is nly helpful during childhd
B. native Italian speakers learning English were similarly studied
C. Learning a secnd language brings greater advantages if started yung
D. bilingual will be mre successful than a persn wh speaks nly ne language
