The winter break is just about to end. Soon we will be back at school. It's with both happiness and sadness. I look very much forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means I'm officially（正式 地）half way through the exchange year. With school starting there are new things to try out and experience. For example? Tm starting a new sport, Track. It's similar to Cross Country, which I did from August till November.

Being here for half a year now? I can easily tell the differences between my two schools. The hardest or most different part for me was to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my home country. However, I have fallen in love with the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came, I knew nothing about it. Now I love it, especially to watch it with my host parents. I have also been so lucky to go to two college football games.

Before I left school in December, I had a couple of tests called Mid-term Test. They all went pretty smooth, mostly because I didn't have too many hard classes. My favorite class was English, and also my hardest. Personally I really liked English, where I could write essays（文章），challenge writing skills and improve English talking.

Only four days of winter break is left. A part of me wants to be on a break forever, and the other part expects to get started again, start a new sport and see my friends and classmates.

Little kids can pick up a new language pretty easily. It's supposed to be far harder for older children. But that conclusion（结论）might not be correct. The window on when people can learn a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18.

Earlier research had suggested we're best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. But that's not so? said Joshua Hartshorne and his colleagues.

Hartshorne surveyed tens of thousands of people online. He began by asking volunteers to take an online English grammar test. He used their answers to guess their native languages. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived? the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. It also asked how long they'd lived in an English-speaking country.

Hartshorne's group analyzed（分析）responses from 669,498 native and non — native speakers of English. If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as those who had learned both English and another language from birth, the researchers found.

The results further showed that around age 17, people's ability to learn grammar took a nosedive and that those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English proficiency（熟练）as people who started younger. Why? The researchers think it's because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17.

However, they found language learning did not end at 17 and people's English skills kept improving slightly until around age 30. This was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language, the new study found.

28. How did Hartshorne do the survey?

A. He paid his friends to do it. B. He surveyed thousands of students.

C. He interviewed passers-by. D. He carried out the survey online.

29. Which of the following best explains “took a nosedive" underlined in paragraph 5?

A. Fell. B. Changed. C. Counted. D. Rose.

30. What do the researchers say about language learning?

A. It requires few skills. B. It keeps people smarter.

C. It ends at the age of 17. D. It needs more practice.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. A learning guide. B. A study on language learning.

C. An English speaker. D. A survey on grammar rules.

D

The mental health of children is connected to their parents' mental health. A recent study asked parents to report on their children's mental and physical（身体的）health as well as their own mental health. One in 14 children aged 0~17 years had a parent who reported poor mental health, and those children were more likely to have poor general health and a mental or developmental disability.

Being mentally healthy during childhood includes reaching developmental milestones, learning healthy social skills and how to solve problems. Mentally healthy children are more likely to have a happy life and are more likely to work well at home? in school? and in their communities.

A child's healthy development depends on their parents who serve as their first sources（来源）of support in becoming independent and leading healthy and successful lives.

The mental health of parents and children is connected in many ways. Parents who have their own mental health challenges? such as dealing with anxiety （fear or worry） , may have more difficulty providing care for their children compared to parents who describe their mental health as good. Caring for children can create challenges for parents? particularly if they lack（缺乏）support, which can have a negative effect on a parent's mental health. Parents and children may also experience shared risks, such as living in unsafe environments? and the like.

Fathers are important for improving children's mental health, although they are not as often included in research studies as mothers. The recent study looked at fathers and found similar connections between their mental health and their children's general and mental health as for mothers. Fathers and mothers need support? which, in turn? can help them support their children's mental health.

32. What does the study mainly focus on?

A. Some useful social skills. B. Children's future life.

C. Parent-child mental health. D. Community's influence.

33. Which is a challenge for parents according to the text?

A. Raising kids without support. B. Living in a strange place.

C. Sharing a common interest. D. Communicating with each other.

34. What can we know about fathers from the last paragraph?

A. They are often included in studies. B. They play a more important part.

C. They seldom bear the responsibility. D. They can influence children's health.

35. Where can the text be found?

A. In a diary. B. In a book review.

C. In a magazine. D. In a children's story.
