Sme plyglts (通晓多种语言的人), wh can speak quite a few languages, may seem especially talented. Zha Yuanren, a Chinese American linguist, culd speak seven languages and mre than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I culd speak abut 10 languages. A famus Italian named Giuseppe Mezzfanti was reprted t have been able t cmmunicate in 30 t 40 languages. Plyglts are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Dner is living prf that anyne can try t be ne.
As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at schl, but he fund it difficult t be interested in just wrds and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening t Hebrew rap music. One day, he lked up the wrds in a dictinary and realized he culd put them tgether t make sentences! He started lking fr peple wh spke Hebrew s he culd practise, and then, he decided t sign up fr a summer Arabic class. One evening, just fr fun, he psted a vide f himself speaking Arabic and anther f him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrte nice cmments n his vides and gave him advice. Tim lved it. He culd actually cmmunicate with peple! After that, Tim started lking fr new languages t learn, and psting mre vides f himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim als began t use many ther methds t make learning fun.
Tim wishes everyne wuld learn mre than ne language and nt just as a schl subject. “Knwing a language is a lt mre than knwing a cuple f wrds ut f a dictinary,” Tim says. “Languages are fr cmmunicating with peple, learning abut their culture, and understanding hw different peple think. ‘Open up yur mind t the fact that language represents a cultural wrldview,’ says Tim. ‘Yu can translate wrds easily, but yu can’t quite translate meaning.’ Or, as Nelsn Mandela said, ‘If yu talk t a man in a language he understands, that ges t his head. If yu talk t him in his language, that ges t his heart.’”

“If yur skin is getting lder, yu are getting lder, s be careful,” says Claudia Cavadas at the University f Cimbra, Prtugal. Culd ur fight t remve wrinkles help restre yuth bth inside and ut?
As skin ages, mre and mre cells enter a lifeless state called senescence (衰老). As time marches n, the mechanisms (机制) fr clearing senescent cells ut start t decline and they build up in tissues. This is bad news. The build-up f these cells has been shwn t be a direct cause f sme f the cnditins that are generally mre cmmn in lder age.
T supprt her assumptin arund wrinkles driving whle-bdy ageing, Cavadas is planning t test experimental drugs n animal mdels f aged skin. “The evidence is still fragile, but, in a year, we will have experimental data” she says.
Whether resisting skin ageing resists whle-bdy ageing will need t be seen. But there is anther gd reasn t slw dwn skin ageing at least. Aged skin is wrse than yung skin at pretty much everything it is suppsed t d, says a plastic surgen. Its barrier functins weaken, wunds are slwer t heal (康复), sensitivity t tuch declines and its ability t defend diseases is weakened.
Hw abut anti-wrinkle creams? At present, there is limited evidence that they are genuine anti-ageing treatments. We d, hwever, have ne methd fr preventing skin ageing: sunscreen, which absrbs UV rays befre they d damage t the skin. It is never t sn t start. Even thugh the first visible signs f skin ageing usually dn’t appear until ur mid-20s, the ptential prcesses are under way much earlier.
Apparently, wrinkle treatment shuld n lnger be seen as a “skin-deep” thing, but as a vital part f staying bilgically yung and healthy. Everyne shuld pay attentin t that, because we all have skin in this game.
8. What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A．The definitin f senescence.
B．The causes f skin ageing.
C．The prcess f cell declining.
D．The cnsequences f skin ageing.
9. What des the underlined wrd “fragile” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Artificial.
B．Cnsiderable.
C．Insubstantial.
D．Cnvincing.
10. Which is a disadvantage f the aged skin?
A．It tends t be sensitive t tuches.
B．The cut n it recvers quickly.
C．The barrier functins wrk prly.
D．It stps guarding against diseases.
11. What can we learn frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．Anti-wrinkle creams are quite useful.
B．Wrinkle treatment is imprtant t health.
C．Sunscreen may pse ptential risk t the skin.
D．Wrinkle treatment is a practice prven skin-deep.

Mst f us were raised t think that smart peple always knw the right answers. Frm gld stars in schl t perfrmance reviews in the ffice, we’re rewarded fr certainty.
Yet as Bidhan Parmar, prfessr at the UVA Darden Schl f Business, argues in his new bk, Radical Dubt, “Certainty smehw blinds us. The nly thing that spn-feeding teaches us is the shape f a spn.” His pint is unsettling. The very habits we rely n t feel smart — rushing tward the final gals, simplifying cmplex prblems, sugar-cating ur initial reactins — are the nes that keep us frm making wise chices.
The hardest prblems we face in life, whether in careers, relatinships, r sciety, rarely cme with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “mments f unease”: multi-criteria chices that invlve cmpeting gals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The ld playbk f being a “right-answer getter” nt nly fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We ften treat cmplex prblems like simple nes until we are faced with the reality.”
Our persnal and prfessinal envirnments are mre uncertain than ever. Technlgy evlves faster than regulatin, wrkplaces are mre diverse, and scial standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasned leaders ignre warning signs because they were addicted t “feeling right.” They simplified the situatin when they shuld have paused r explred, and missed the pprtunity that dubt was pinting them tward.
Our brains run n intercnnected systems: the Pursue system(seek rewards), the Prtect system(avid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Tgether system(engage dubt and reframe). Prir evidence-based studies reprt that mst f us let the first tw dminate, charging ahead r withdrawing in fear. Grunded in behaviral science, the wiser mve is t take enugh time t ntice cmplexity, questin assumptins, and treat ur intuitin(直觉)nt as the nly decisin but as an alternative. In practice, this means hlding cmpeting gals side by side, and learning t say nt “I knw,” but “I’m learning.”
12. What is implied by mentining the spn feeding?
A．Certainty might ruin decisin-making.
B．Average peple can learn few facts.
C．Smart habits secure psitive utcmes.
D．Simple tls secretly bst creativity.
13. Which might be a “mment f unease”?
A．Prfiting frm stable investments with spare funds.
B．Trying t find a jb verseas when a parent falls ill.
C．Treating difficult prblems with ne’s first intuitin.
D．Cntinuing t develp in ne’s familiar research field.
14. What can make leaders fail accrding t the authr?
A．Shifting standards.
B．Lacking experience.
C．Ignring principles.
D．Overlking dubts.
15. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．The trap f right answers
B．The pwer f human intuitin
C．The limits f simple slutins
D．The wisdm f pen dubt
