【题目】 Nick Prosser, a 28-year-old New Zealander, has been stuttering (口吃) for as long as he can remember, but he recently discovered that speaking in an Irish accent makes his speech disorder disappear
The young New Zealander claims he discovered the simple cure to his stutter completely by accident, while trying different accents with a friend for fun. When he tried the Irish accent, both he and his friend were amazed that his stutter almost vanished. They were able to have a long conversation without him stuttering at all, which had never happened before. He just couldn’t believe that something so simple could be the cure to a problem that had seriously affected his self-confidence ever since he was a child
“I couldn’t believe it. I had been to so many speech therapists who never suggested this technique, Prosser said
Interestingly, Nick has never been to Ireland, but he believes that speaking in an Irish accent comes naturally for him because of his mother, who comes from an Irish family. He suggests that people suffering from similar speech disorders try looking at their genealogies (家谱) and attempt to speak in an accent associated to them. However, local speech specialist Annette Stock said she had never heard about this technique
“We know as speech language therapists that singing certainly helps with people that have stutters but you can’t just go around singing in your everyday life, Stock said.” I think that this is something that works for, him and that’s fine. But in six months’ time if it is still working I would be saying wow that’s amazing.
So why does the Irish accent make Prosser’s stutter disappear? No one knows for sure, but Ants Haines, who has been Nick’s barber for years, has an interesting theory: he claims that this way, the 28-year-old spends more time thinking how to pronounce the words, which somehow helps
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “vanished” in paragraph 2?
A.Erupted.B.Worsened.
C.Disappeared.D.Functioned.
【2】What happened to Nick Prosser after he tried the Irish accent?
A.He turned to his friends for their help.B.He had more faith in himself.
C.He took pride in his language ability.D.He went to speech therapists for advice.
【3】How did Annette Stock react to Nick Prosser’s suggestion?
A.She doubted it.B.She tried to prove it.
C.She was confirmed of it.D.She was amazed by its effect.
【4】What does Ants Haines intend to tell us?
A.His relationship with Nick.B.His idea of the end of Nick’s stutter.
C.His convince in Nick’s learning ability.D.The influence of speaking different accents.
