Learning a new language is hard. In a recent research, scientists found that your chances of reaching fluency(流利) in a new language drop off at the age of 10. Does that mean you should give up your French class if you are older than 10? No!
The research found that it’s “nearly impossible” to reach fluency if you start learning a language after age 10. That’s not because your language skills start to get worse. “You’re still learning fast,” says Joshua. “It’s just because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 10 or 11 years old.”
The researchers say people who try to learn a new language after age 10 may still become quite good. But they will probably not become fluent. Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. One is that children’s brains are more adaptable(能适应的) than adults’ brains. This means they are better able to change. Kids may also would like try new things. And adults may depend on the rules of their first language. But kids are able to accept a new language without them.
3. Why is it difficult to reach fluency if we start learning a language after age 10?
A. Our ability to learn starts dropping. B. We can’t learn fast any more.
C. Our language skills start to get worse.
4. Why are adults worse than kids at learning a new language?
A. Adults’ brains are more adaptable. B. Adults like to try new things.
C. Adults may depend on the rules of their first language. 5. Who would become more fluent in learning a new language?
A. Mary, 8 years old B. Ton, 18 years old C. Jenny, 42 years old.

Addyson is an 8-years-old girl form Kansas. Maurine is a 9-year-old girl from a village called Bartabwa in Kenya. It might not seem as if the girls have much in common，but when they met at a dinner two years ago, in Kansas, they became friends at once.
The dinner was hosted by the group World Vision International. In some parts of the world, people must walk several miles each day to collect water from a stream(小溪)or another water source. Often, the water is polluted. World Vision builds wells(井) and rain catchers in these communities.
Addyson was at the dinner because her family supports World Msion. Maurine was there because her village had been without clean water. World Vision solved that by building a water station there. Addyson was influenced by Maurine. “People helped Maurine so she could have clean water, and kids are dying because they don’t have it,” Addyson says. “I want to help.”
Races are one way world Vision raises money to pay for its water projects. Runners promise to run a race, often a 26-mile marathon or 13-mile half marathon. They ask people to support them by giving away to World Vision.
Addyson decided to run the 2017 Kansas City Half Marathon for World Vision. She’d raised $ 20,000. She’s the youngest person in World Vision history to raise more than $ 10,000.In 2018, she ran again- and raised $ 36,000.
Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch. Last year, Maurine returned to the U.S. and they met up in Chicago. But Addyson’s work is not finished. “My purpose is for every kid to have clean water, ”she says.
6. Where did the two girls become friends?
A. In Bartabwa. B. In Kansas C. In Chicago 7. How did World Vision help Maurine’s village?
A. By building wells
B. By building a water station C. By building rain catchers
8. Which of the following is the way World Vision raises money?
A. By dinner B. By friendship C. By race 9. How much did Addyson raise in total from 2017 to 2018?
A. $ 46,000 B.$ 56,000 C. $ 66,000 10. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Run for Clean Water B. Run for Bartabwa C. Run for Maurine
D
Each weekday, more than 30 million students in Canada eat meals served in school cafeterias. And when lunch is over, they fill the rubbish cans with uneaten food.
More than $ 1 billion worth of food is wasted every year. Wasted food is wasted money. It’s
also a missed chance to feed hungry people. And it’s bad for the environment: farming, packing, and transporting food produces greenhouse-gas emissions (温室气体排放).They pollute the air.
Schools have developed ways to cut back on(减少) waste. Making lunch period longer helps. It gives kids time to eat everything on their plates. Many schools follow government rules that say students must take a certain number of healthy things at mealtime. Those rules that say students must take a certain number of healthy things at mealtime. Those rules help kids get a better meal. But they can lead to more waste. That’s why schools in Canada set up something called share tables. Students put untouched food on the table. A student who wants the food can take it. There are rules to make sure the food is safe. Food that isn’t taken from the table is served another day.
Students also waste food because they don’t like how it tastes. Cook Sam wants to change that. He works with a program called Cooks in School. He helps dining hall workers develop dishes kids enjoy.
You can fight food waste too. At the store, look for “ugly” produce. Fruits and vegetables with bad shapes are still delicious, but they are often not noticed. At home, read safety labels(标签). If a label says “best before”, the food is still safe to eat for a little while after the date. If the label says ”use by”, the food is no longer safe after the date. 11. What does the underlined word “Cafeterias” mean?
A. Dining halls B. Classrooms C. Hallways 12. What is NOT the result of wasting food?
A. Wasting money
B. Bad for the environment C. Feeding hungry people
13. How do schools in Canada cut back on waste?
A. Making lunch period shorter B. Following government rules. C. Setting up shared tables
14. Why do students waste food according to Paragraph 4?
A. They don’t like Cook Sam B. They don’t like the dishes
C. They don’t like dining hall workers
15. According to the last paragraph, which food is NOT safe on June 18th, 2019?
A. Use by June 15th,2019
B. Best before June 17th,2019 C. Use by June 20th,2019 第二节 阅读匹配
