Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Hans Christian Andersen. He was very poor and had a long, ugly nose. All the other children t    1     him. But when little Hans grew up, he became an i    2     recognized writer. All over the world people of v    3     ages and backgrounds know his classic fairy tales.

Nearly 200 years ago, Hans was born in Odense, Denmark. His father was poor but he loved literature and the theater. He often took Hans to the theater with him.

When Hans was only 11 years old, his father died. Hans had to q    4     school and work in a tailor’s shop to support his family.

Hans was a very lonely child. He did not play with the other children. When he wasn’t working, he stayed at home, reading books and writing his own stories and plays.

When he was 14 years old, Hans moved to Copenhagen to try to begin a c    5     as a singer or actor. The next three years p    6     to be very painful and unbearable. He nearly starved to death trying to make a living.

At age 17, he met Jonas Collin, director of the Royal Theater. Collin read one of Hans’ plays and recognized his t    7     in spite of Hans’ poor spelling. He helped Hans by o    8     a scholarship from the king to continue the boy’s schooling.

When he was 23 years old, Hans began his university studies. In 1835, he began writing his famous fairy tales.

At one time, experts were against raising children in a bilingual home. They thought their brains would become confused, which would result in their development delays and poor p     1       in studies. But we now understand that the exact o     2       is true.

Children can easily learn extra languages because of the higher ability of their brain to form new neural(神经的) connections and new brain cells throughout life. W     3       some studies suggest that learning two languages can l     4     to delays, these delays are short-lived. In addition, the brain of the children who learn two languages can benefit unexpectedly early. B     5     using a fun game with a disappearing puppet, researchers found that babies as young as 7 months old who are raised in bilingual homes got cognitive benefits! A study used a memory game and found that bilingual 5-year-olds answered questions faster and were more exact than their partners only learning one language.

According to a report given by the National Education Association, children who study a second language receive a r     6     in general development, do better in tests, are more creative, and have a better sense of achievement in school. Second language studies help kids do better in other areas of study, including i     7     their reading skills and social studies. Research shows that students who are a     8     to speak a second language have better listening skills and sharper memories, and are better at solving difficult problems. From primary school to college, they score higher in tests than those who c     9    . And results from the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT) also show that students who have studied another language for four or more years did better in both the spoken and maths problems of the test

In a word, learning more than one language contributes to the brain development in babies and the excellent school performance of students of all ages. Therefore, it is clear that it’s n     10     too early to learn a second language for children.
