7 . It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language, it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language. But is it true?
Before we can look at multilingual (多语言的) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The link between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our mother tongue. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language, but, if we are going to have a firm grasp of that new word, we need to link it to our existing knowledge. “In order to do that, we need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a psychology professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the integration of old and new knowledge happens. At night, one part of our brain — the hippocampus-takes whatever new information it got in the day, and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect two languages, according to Marc Zuist, researcher at the University Hospital of Psychiatry in Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to master a new word or phrase, but it could also have an emotional significance. Danuta Barker, a professor of psycholinguistics (心理语言学) at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express fears and desires around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a native-like speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re trying to learn a new language, you should definitely sleep on it.
1. Which of the following does Gareth agree with?| A．Adults are better at learning. |
| B．We can learn words while sleeping. |
| C．Our existing knowledge is from dreams. |
| D．Multilingual dreams have nothing to do with progress. |
| A．Method. | B．Form. | C．Combination. | D．Reflection. |
| A．Studying the role of the dream. | B．Analyzing the learning process. |
| C．Developing the new area of the brain. | D．Absorbing and delivering information. |
| A．Emotion and dreams. | B．Languages and communities. |
| C．Universities and courses. | D．Words and expressions. |
| A．Why we learn a foreign language in the dream. |
| B．Learning languages is completely from sleeping. |
| C．Sleeping plays an important part in the development of brains. |
| D．How multilingual dreams are connected to language learning. |
8 . Here is some good advice on how to be good at a language.
Pen pals. This way of learning a language is a great way to use your new language. You have to use the language a lot; at the same time, you don’t have to give your pen pals an answer at once.
Internet radio.
Language clubs. When you are ready to practice your new language, try to find a language club in your area.
Find suitable places. Put yourself in situations where you have to speak the language that you are learning.
| A．Speaking with other people can be very helpful. |
| B．Another great and easy way is to listen to your new language in real life. |
| C．So you will be more comfortable this way. |
| D．They will also give you lots of useful advice on learning a new language. |
| E．How about going to a restaurant? |
| F．Doing more exercise can be very interesting. |
| G．Learning a new language can give you much knowledge. |

10 . Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
1. What is a feature of Arabic?| A．It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. | B．It helps artists with their artworks. |
| C．It is written from right to left. | D．It is closely related to music. |
| A．Arabic. | B．English. | C．Chinese. | D．Italian. |
| A．Nearly 68 million. | B．Around 370 million. |
| C．Over 379 million. | D．Around 1.4 billion. |
