Kids are better than adults at learning how to speak various languages. Research now shows that young infants might have some best language skills of all.
Researchers in Canada, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, studied 36 babies from English?speaking families. Twelve of them were 4 months old, 12 were 6 months old, and the rest were 8 months old. They watched video clips of a woman talking in silence. The woman was fluent in English and French. In some clips, she read a storybook in English. In other clips, she read in French.
After watching clip after clip of the woman reading in just one language, the babies eventually started to look away, apparently because they were bored. The researchers then showed the babies a new silent clip of the woman reading a story in the other language. At that point, the 4? and 6?month olds started looking at the screen again. The 8?month olds, by contrast, didn't pay any attention.
The second study involved 36 infants of the same age. These babies were from English?speaking families. They watched silent clips of the woman reading one set of sentences in either English or French until they grew bored. Then, they saw clips showing the woman read different sentences, but in the same language that she had been speaking, none of them showed a renewed interest.
A third trial included 24 infants of the same age whose families spoke both English and French at home. In the first set of clips, the woman spoke in one language, and in the second set she used the other language. All babies in this study had a longer look at clips after the woman switched languages.
Together, these results suggest that “visual information about speech may play a more critical role in language learning than previously predicted,” says lead researcher and psychologist Whitney M.Weikum.

When Cathleen Gardiner’s twins were born 17 years ago, doctors told her that they were a pair in a million. One had Down syndrome(低能綜合癥), while the other did not. Here, Cathleen tells their touching story.
Since Sean was born 17 years ago, I have always thought that he is just as wonderful as his brother and sister. Though he had a disability(殘疾), we have never viewed him as a burden. He has always been a blessing. The doctors explained that though they were twins, they came from two different eggs. Lisa could walk at 11 months old, while Sean didn’t take his first steps till he was three. By two, Lisa was talking a lot, but Sean wasn’t able to speak until he was nearly four.
For the first five years of his life, Sean needed a great deal of care. Looking after him was my full-time job, though I also worked as a technical adviser in a computing company. We never treated them differently. We gave them the same toys and spoke to them in the same way. We encouraged Sean to keep up with Lisa, even though he never could, and we would help him develop his abilities. We sent them to the same primary school even after doctors advised us that Sean should go to a school for the disabled.
We had to explain to Lisa that he wouldn’t learn as quickly as she would. She told us that she’d help him with his school work. Having a non-disabled twin has really helped Sean develop. The love they share has given him a great deal of support. Now Sean and Lisa are both about to finish high school. I don’t think he would have done nearly as well today without Lisa’s help.
1. At least how many children does Mrs. Gardiner have?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. One.
2. The third paragraph mainly tells us that _______.
A. the couple treated the twins equally
B. Cathleen did all she could to look after Sean

3. All of the following statements are true except_________.
A. Sean couldn’t develope so well without his parents’great effort.
B. As a twin sister,Lisa gave Sean a lot of help.
C. As a mother of a disabeled child,Cathleen must have suffered a lot.
D. Cathleen loved Sean more than Lisa because of his disability.
4. This passage tells us that _________.
