Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.
Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”
1.The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.
A. recall the past
B. attract the readers
C. introduce the topic
D. compare the childhood with the present
2.According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?
A. Hungarian B. Spanish C. Italian D. English
3.Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________
A. singing is the best way to learn a language.
B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.
C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.
D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.
4.In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?
A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.
B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.
C. A student is going to learn a new English song.
D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.

To have a second child or not, this is a question.
A concern about only one child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many parents of only child feel guilty of their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, which may lead to the child feeling lonely at times.
Another common argument against having just one child may be more spoiled than one with siblings. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age.
Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in the world. For some single-child parents, the pressures of devoting time and energy to a second child can result in them selecting have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the major consideration. Another important consideration is the increasing age at which women give birth to children.
Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention.
However, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both the wife and the husband feel confident.
1.What are the advantages of children with brothers or sisters?
A. Less pressure and better energy
B. More respect and greater family wealth
C. Higher intelligence and more attention
D. Less loneliness and better social competence
2.What prevent some parents from having a second child according to the passage?
A. Work pressures
B. Limited time, energy and money
C. The health and wealth of the first child
D. The negotiations between parents and children
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. The birth of a second child makes many parents guilty
B. The number of single-child parents is decreasing
C. Nowadays women delay giving birth to children
D. Family circumstances have little effect on parents’ decision
4.How is the passage developed?
A. By providing examples B. By listing suggestions
C. By offering descriptions D. By analyzing reasons
