Now he speaks it fluently, and he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language. As a graduate stud
2、ent, Kim worked in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York. their work led to an important discovery. They found evidence that children and adults dont use the same parts of the brain when they learn a second language.The researchers used an instrument called an MRI ( magic resonance ima
3、ging) scanner to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.The other consisted of people who, like Kim, learned their second language later in life. People from both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner. This a
4、llowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more active. They asked people from both groups to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then the other. They couldnt speak out loud because any movement would disrupt the scanni
5、ng.Kim and Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain - Brocas area, which is believed to control speech production, and Wernickes area, which is thought to process meaning. Kim and Hirsch found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernickes area no matter what langu
6、age they were speaking. But their use of Brocas area was different.People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Brocas area for both their first and second languages. People who learned a second language later in life used a different part of Brocas area for their second
7、language. How does Hirsch explain this difference? Hirsch believes that when language is first being programmed in young children, their brains may mix the sounds and structures of all languages in the same area. Once that programming is plete, the processing of a new language must be taken over by
8、a different part of the brain.A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do as adults. Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch, sound, and sight. And that is very different from learning a language

You may be a talented musician, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is different.Psychologists disagree a
14、bout what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities. Psychologists have two different views on intelligence. Some believe there is one general intelligence. Others believe there are many different intelligences.Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be mea
15、sured with IQ tests. These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests. They do well on tests using words, numbers or pictures. They do well on individual or group tests, and written or oral tests
16、. Those who do poorly on one test, do the same on all tests.Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence. The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving. The brain waves of people with high intelligence show a quicker reaction. Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectivene
