I think a freign language class shuld be ffered in every schl, but nt just teaching ne freign
language - it shuld be tns f them. The idea wuld be t learn wrds frm all different languages that lack an
English 41 . These wrds wuld fill the gaps in ur language, ffering 42 int what ther
cultures have nticed that we may have verlked. This was the inspiratin behind my pdcast Fifty Wrds
fr Snw, which 43 the idea that Inuit languages have multiple wrds fr snw.
Language shapes hw we think and experience the wrld, and the principle applies universally. The mre
wrds we have fr smething, the mre attentin we pay t it, and the mre 44 ur understanding
becmes. By expanding ur vcabulary, especially with wrds that dn't exist in English, we expand ur
capacity t ntice and 45 the wrld arund us.
In the pdcast, I explre these linguistic 46 , r "lacunae," and the wrds that culd fill them. Here
are a few that I especially like.
Niksen (Dutch): The Art f Ding Nthing
In ur wrld, where prductivity is ften the highest virtue, the idea f ding nthing can seem shameful. We are 47 t feel guilty if we aren’t cnstantly checking ff t - d lists r maximizing every mment. But in Dutch culture, niksen ffers a different perspective. It is the art f ding nthing withut guilt—f simply existing in a state f rest, allwing the mind and bdy t reset.
Ha’aha’a (Hawaiian): Humility Thrugh Interdependence
In a sciety that ften 48 individual achievement, the Hawaiian wrd ha’aha’a ffers a prfund cntrast. This frm f humility arises frm a deep awareness f ur interdependence. In Hawaiian culture, peple understand n ne achieves anything alne—we are all intercnnected. T practice ha’aha’a is t recgnize that we are part f a greater whle.
These wrds have becme mre than vcabulary 49 fr me. They’ve made me think differently. Withut them, sme cncepts can remain 50 r under - appreciated. Language desn’t just help us describe reality—it helps us see it. By learning the untranslatable, we might learn t live a little differently.
Sectin C
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Stp Asking “Am I Bilingual?” and Ask This Instead
Mst peple think f bilingualism as an either/r prpsitin: Yu either sund native in tw languages r yu are nt bilingual. But that narrw definitin 51 millins f peple wh navigate life in multiple languages, each in their wn way. I believe bilingualism is a spectrum and that understanding different types f bilingualism means nt letting language 52 yu.
My niece understd everything her grandmther said in Spanish but 53 t speak it. Why? At a family gathering, an aunt had laughed at her prnunciatin in frnt f everyne, s she never tried again.
Language is deeply tied t identity. When smene criticizes hw we speak, it feels like 54 f wh we are. Fr receptive bilinguals, wh already feel 55 abut their speaking abilities, crrectin desn’t mtivate imprvement; it cnfirms their fear that they dn’t belng in that language.
There are tw cmmn miscnceptins that deserve fcus.
First, we ften wrngly assume that age f 56 equals prficiency. Many immigrant children speak their heritage language at hme until they g t schl, where English becmes 57 . By cllege, English feels mre cmfrtable, nt because they learned it first, but because they use it mre and, critically, were educated in it.
Secnd, receptive bilinguals—thse wh understand a language but prduce little r n speech in it—aren’t inferir. With little frmal linguistic supprt, they understand a minrity language because it remains part f their envirnment. Fr them, receptive bilingualism is a ratinal 58 t their envirnment. They develped the skills they needed. Their 59 isn’t less valuable than prductin.
Mst peple dn't realize that the type f bilingual yu are tday can change based n yur envirnment, needs, and chices. I've watched students gain fluency thrugh years f practice. I've als seen the 60 . Friends wh grew up fluently bilingual gradually lse their heritage language after years f nt using it. Bilingualism is 61 .
This matters because it gives yu 62 . If yu're a receptive bilingual wishing t speak yur heritage language, yu can build n sphisticated cmprehensin rather than start frm scratch. If yu learned a language as an adult and feel limited by ccasinal mistakes, remember language prficiency isn't determined by when yu learned it, but by hw yu 63 it.
Next time yu hear smene 64 their wn bilingualism —"I dn't really speak it" r "My French isn't gd enugh"—ask them: What type f bilingual are yu? And what type d yu want t becme?
Understanding the spectrum isn't just abut labels. It's abut recgnizing hwever yu use tw languages, yu're already bilingual. The nly questin is whether yu'll let that 65 pen drs r clse them—and whether yu'll help thers d the same.

(A)
Right befre my grandmther died, a successin f negative events happened t me. During my walk t wrk every mrning, I had a bad habit f drwning myself in ruminatins abut everything ging wrng in
my life: Why culdn't I sleep last night? Will wrk make me feel wrse? D I have t g?
After my grandmther's funeral, I decided t call my mm during my walk t wrk. I wanted t make sure she was kay and prvide her with a listening ear. Regardless f what I had ging n (n tp f lsing my grandmther), I knew my mm needed my supprt. She seemed audibly brightened by the fact that I called her, and she thanked me at the end f ur cnversatin. I wanted t cntinue helping her thrugh this difficult time, s this phne call became ur daily rutine.
Every time we spke, I didn't wrry abut my wn grief and anxiety—instead, I fcused n my mm. My ruminatins stpped befre they even had the chance t begin; they were replaced by my effrts t make my mm feel better, smile and laugh during her perid f grief. And I didn't realize it until much later, but thse calls were exactly what I needed as well. Thrugh that daily prcess, I was healing.
A 2016 study published fund that giving had greater benefits than receiving. Participants in the study wh gave help shwed reduced stress and increased feelings f reward in their brain imaging. Sme f us might nt need a study t prve that. Fr me, my mm taught me the imprtance f helping thers lng ag. She used t say the easiest way t be happy is t d at least ne mitzvah (Hebrew fr "act f kindness") every day. But thrugh helping my mm, s many years later, I was able t realize the validity f her wrds. My daily calls, my "acts f kindness," helped me mve past the internal struggles I was waging.
"I was n the edge f a cliff, and yu were my life line" my mm said t me abut a mnth-and-a-half after my grandmther died. "Yu were the nly persn I culd really talk t. Yu were my emtinal supprt daughter. I dn't knw where I wuld be if it were nt fr yu."
"I'm glad I was able t help yu, Mm. But if I'm being hnest, being there fr yu helped me t."

A cmmn experience amng bilinguals r multilinguals is “cde switching,” r shifting between languages within a single cnversatin r even sentence. New brain imaging findings published this mnth by Sarah Frances Phillips underscre the ease f these switches and reveal that the supprting neurlgical patterns are highly similar t thse in mnlingual peple. The study cnfirms that cde switching, which sme multilingual speakers view as “cheating,” is a nrmal and natural behavir.
Phillips grew up in a bilingual husehld with a Suth Krean mther and African - American father, frequently cde switching between Krean and English. This firsthand experience led her t recgnize gaps in bth linguistic and neurbilgical understanding f cde switching. She emphasized the imprtance f develping mdels fr hw brains perate acrss languages, rather than relying slely n mnlingual framewrks.
The study tuches n the debated “bilingual advantage” hypthesis, which argues bilinguals excel at cgnitively demanding tasks requiring the inhibitin f certain infrmatin t cmplete assignments successfully. These tasks tap int everyday skills like attentin and wrking memry.
Phillips cited Judith Krll’s research suggesting scial aspects f language switching (e.g., deciding when
and hw t switch) may explain this advantage. Fr Spanish - English bilinguals, cnversing with anther bilingual peer is the easiest mde, as they can use any wrds r cmbinatins t cnvey thughts. In cntrast, cmmunicating with mnlingual speakers (either English r Spanish - nly) requires significant effrt t suppress the nn - shared language, accrding t the adaptive cntrl hypthesis. Current understanding f the bilingual brain hlds that bth languages are always accessible, even when interacting with mnlinguals, frcing bilingual individuals t further develp wrking memry and attentin skills t avid incmprehensible switches.
Phillips’ new study fcused n brain activity during language switching while cmpsing wrds. Magnetencephalgraphy (MEG), the measurement f the magnetic field generated by the electrical activity f neurns, was used t track 20 English - Krean bilingual participants, bserving neural respnses during wrd cmbinatin. In mnlinguals, pairs like “icicles” and “melt” trigger a larger activity peak in the left anterir tempral lbe due t meaningful cmbinatin, while nn - cmbinable pairs (e.g., “melt” and “jump”) d nt prduce this effect.
The study replicated these mnlingual findings in bilingual participants: meaningful pairs like “icicles” and “melt” triggered increased activity in the left anterir tempral lbe cmpared t nn - cmbinable pairs. This pattern was bserved bth during language switching (between English and Krean) and acrss rthgraphies (Rman and Krean characters), regardless f language r wrd representatin.
Phillips nted that the left anterir tempral lbe’s ability t cmbine cncepts meaningfully withut slwdwn demnstrates that this prcess is natural fr the brain, and smething bilingual individuals shuld nt avid. She stressed that cde switching is natural fr bilingual peple, while maintaining a single language is mre difficult. Despite many bilinguals hlding negative attitudes tward cde switching (viewing it as “bad” r believing they shuld stick t ne language), the research cnfirms it is nt harmful t the brain. “It’s imprtant t recgnize the fact that smething desn’t lk like mnlingual behavir desn’t mean it’s deviant,” she emphasized.
73. What is the cre cnclusin f Phillips’ new study?
A. Cde switching is a nrmal and natural behavir that desn’t d harm t the brain.
B. Bilingual speakers are faster at cgnitively demanding tasks than mnlinguals.
C. The scial aspects f language switching can help explain the bilingual advantage.
D. The left anterir tempral lbe is nly active when prcessing wrds in ne language.
74. What mtivated Phillips t cnduct research n cde switching?
A. Lack f research n bilingual advantage.B. Her experiences f grwing up bilingual.
C. The debate ver bilingual advantage.D. Needs t develp new research methds.
75. The wrd “deviant” in the last paragraph is clsest in meaning t ______.
A. acceptableB. tempraryC. abnrmalD. beneficial
76. What des the research reveal abut cde - switching?
A. It relies n brain parts distinct frm thse fr mnlingual language prcessing.
B. It creates a bilingual advantage by suppressing language fr mnlinguals.
C. It enables faster cnceptual prcessing than mnlingual speech.
D. It shares the same neural mechanisms with mnlingual cmprehensin.

Vlunturism
Vlunturism—when affluent Westerners spend lads f mney fr the pprtunity t travel t and "imprve" a cmmunity—is gaining ppularity. This is usually dne thrugh a travel agency 1 sets up the vlunturists with a regin in need. Indeed, many f these "vlunturists" prbably have gd intentins—they are willing t assist peple wh 2 nt have the same resurces as them. Hwever, their effrts ften have n beneficial lng term effect n the cmmunity.
Vlunturists are mstly assigned menial labr such as building schls and huses. This makes almst n sense. Prfessinal bricklayers frm the cmmunity culd easily build the schl faster and 3 better safety and craftsmanship. The cmmunity wuld prbably be better ff with funds 4 (transfer) directly t it fr the independent cnstructin f lcal infrastructure.
The travel cmpanies turn a prfit, and the vlunteers get sme great memries, but the cmmunity 5 leave behind rarely reaps mre than shrt - term benefits frm their trip, especially as vlunteers usually dn't return r think abut the lng - term fr the cmmunity. Vlunturism may even harm a cmmunity. Fr example, the rphanages may make cnditins wrse s that visitrs pity the children mre and end up 6 (give) mre mney.
There als exists a disturbing fact 7 vlunteers ften treat the peple they claim t help in a culturally insensitive manner—things they definitely wuldn't d in a develped cuntry. This idea f shelling ut tens f thusands f dllars t "fix" a cuntry while in reality treating the peple 8 8 they were inferir sunds arrgant.
If vlunteers 9 (nt allw) t take imprper phts f their jurney and share them all ver scial media, wuld they still g? Undubtedly, there are peple wh wuld say yes, but 10 (help) in a meaningful and sustainable way instead f ding temprary favrs, they shuld take a step back and try t wrk n slving the underlying scietal prblems behind these pr cmmunities.
