2 . In your schoolbags, you may have a pencil, some kinds of pens, a ruler and some books. None of these things grow in the fields. They were all made in factories. And, of course, they were invented by some people. There have not always been pencils or pens, a ruler and books. Thousands of years ago no one knew about these things.
Who invented them first? How did they have such clever ideas? We always don’t know. There have been thousands of inventions, large and small, in the human history. Some of these inventions have changed the world, such as paper, printing, radio, telephone and computer, and we know the inventors. But we have forgotten most of the other inventors.
Who invented the clock, for example, or the lock to the door? We don’t know. There have been thousands of inventors and we should be grateful（感激的）to them for their clever ideas. Will you be one of them when you grow up?

5 . If English means endless new words，difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation，you are wrong．Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language？
According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power．Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter（脑灰质）．This is the area of the brain which processes information．It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles．
The study also found the influence is greater when the younger people learn a second language．A team led by Dr．Andrea Mechelli from University College London，took a group of Englishmen who only spoke English．They were compared with a group of“early bilinguals”who had learned a second language before the age of five．
Research showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language．“Our findings suggest that the structure（结构）of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，”said the scientists．It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn．
Professor Dylan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills．“Having two languages gives you two windows to the world and makes the brain smarter．You will actually have a better understanding of math skills，”he explained．“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world．The younger you started to learn，the better．”
1. Learning other languages can change grey matter which processes information．2. The underlined word“bilinguals”means“词汇学”in Chinese．
3. Grey matter density was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language．
4. The experience of learning a second language doesn’t have too much influence on people’s brain．
5. Research by Dr．Andrea Mechelli shows that the earlier you start to learn a second language，the better understanding of math skills you will have．
6 . Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.
Can you see the rabbit's tail which is moving up and down? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has done this by using its body language.
Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its hood and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah!” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
But we have something that no animals have—a large number of words that have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.
