Are you a different person when you speak a foreign language? That’s just one of the questions the New Yorker’swriter and native North Carolinian Lauren Collins explores in her autobiography, about her tough efforts to master French after marrying a Frenchman whose name — Olivier — she couldn’t even pronounce properly. When in French ranges from the humorously personal story to a deeper look at various theories of language acquisition and linguistics (语言学).
The couple met in London “on more or less neutral(中立的) ground: his continent, my language.” But the balance shifted when they moved to Geneva for Olivier’s work. The normally voluble Collins found herself at a loss — “nearly speechless.” The language barrier, and her dependence on her husband for simple things like buying the right cut of meat worsened her mixed feelings about “unlovely, but not ridiculous” Geneva. She comments, “Language, as much as land, is a place. To be cut off from it is to be, in a sense, homeless.”
Her sense of alienation (疏离感) leads to an examination of America’s miserable record when it comes to foreign languages, “Linguists call America ‘the graveyard(宅兆) of languages’ because of its singular ability to take in millions of immigrants and make their native languages die out in a few generations,” Collins writes. Educated in Wilmington, N.C., and at Princeton, she could — like the vast majority of Americans — only speak their mother tongue.
Eight months after she moved toSwitzerland, Collins gives up on the natural acquisition of language and finally attends a French course. As she struggles with grammar and vocabulary, Collins notes smartly that vert (green),verre (glass), ver (worm), vers (toward), and vair (squirrel) compose a quintuple homonym (同形异义). “Although it’s difficult, French can try” she says.
French is actually considered among the easiest languages for an English speaker to learn, especially compared to Arabic or Mandarin Chinese. Collins, whose notably rich English vocabulary includes glossolalia (nonsense speech) and shibboleth (catchword or slogan), finds plenty of terrific French words to love. She writes, “English is a trust fund, an unearned inheritance (遗产), but I’ve worked for every bit of French I’ve banked.”
Unlike JhumpaLahiri, who became so hooked on(对……着迷) Italian and used it to write In Other Words, Collins’s goals for learning French were more modest, “I wanted to speak French and to so und like North Carolina.” She also wanted to be able to deal with chimney sweeps and butchers(肉贩), communicate with her
in-laws, and “to touch Olivier in hisown language.” She admits that she feels different speaking French, “Its austerity (质朴) made me feel more confused.”
Readers looking for the romantic spark of classic cross-cultural love stories featuring an outgoing American and a shy Frenchman will find flashes of it here.Among the many cultural differences the couple argue over are her enthusiastic American habit of applying the verb love to express enthusiasm for shoes, strawberries, and husbands alike. But there’s far more to Collins’ book than fantastic comedy, and those who have weathered(承担) linguistic crossings themselves tend to find particular resonance (共鸣) in its inquiry(查询,探究) into language, identity, and transcultural translation.
Arranged by chapters named for verb tenses, When in French works its way from The Past Perfect (Le
plus-que-parfait) to The Present (Le Présent) and The Conditional (Le Conditionnel). Collins ends on a delightful note with Le Futur — fitting for a new mother about to move with her hard-won French husband, French language, and Swiss-born daughter to the French-speaking city of her dreams, Paris.

Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam war. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best films on the war, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.
It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion, and another whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US government’s decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and recorded their language.
His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. “So much beauty”, he recalled, “and so much pleasure”. He recorded with a connoisseur’s expertise (行家专长) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.
He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not affect neutrality (中立). “If you are neutral, you don’t get it,” said he. He generally did not carry a weapon, though on occasion he did fire at Vietnamese in emergencies. The young soldiers, he said, “are my guns”.
The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr’s insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting (抗议) against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix record.
He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “upper” officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “downers” to get them through it. Dispatches did not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhap s, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 —1918 did in Britain.
Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote Martin Sheen’s voiceover for Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and later wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images, in ways that prefigured (预示) the internet.
In 1980 Herr moved to London, where he stayed until he moved back to the US in 1991. It was there that he met Stanley Kubrick, who became a close friend, though Herr warned against doing business with him. Herr wrote Kubrick’s biography, but he wrote surprisingly little else after Dispatches.
5.Why did Michael Herr go to Vietnam during the war years?
A.To join the soldiers in military actions.
B.To report military actions and advances.
C.To give an authentic account of the war.
D.To write about military fashion and humour.
6.What can we infer from Michael Herr’s statement underlined in Paragraph 4?
A.It was impossible to remain neutral during the war.
B.It was unnecessary to show pity for the war victims.
C.Neutrality is a means to keep you safe during the war.
D.Neutrality can help the civilians free from sufferings.
7.Which of the following about Dispatches is true?
A.It fully describes Herr’s protest against the war.
B.Its language is casually selected and organized.
C.Music and drugs give the author inspiration.
D.It truly reflects Herr’s responses to the war.
soldiers brought drugs with them during the war most probably because _______.
A.they were addicted to drugs
B.they suffered stress disorder
C.they used them to cure the wounds
D.they exchanged them for music records

I tried not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His social worker assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee. He was short, a little fat, with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down’s Syndrome(唐氏综合症). I thought most of my customers would be uncomfortable around Stevie, so I closely watched him for the first few weeks.
I shouldn’t have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger, and within a month my regular trucker customers had adopted him as their official truck sto p mascot. After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.
Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.
That’s why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a heart surgery. His social worker said that people with Downs Syndrome often had heart problems at an early age and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months.
A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, my head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, “Okay, Frannie, what was that all about?”
"We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay."
"I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?"
Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevie's surgery, then sighed: "Yeah, I'm glad he is going to be OK," she said. "But I don't know how h e and his Mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they're barely getting by as it is."
Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables.
After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins in her hand.
"What's up?" I asked.
“I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting after they left, and I found this. This was folded and tucked under a coffee cup."
She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed "Something For Stevie".
After three months, when Stevie was supposed to be back to work, there was already $10,000 in cash and checks collected, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about his problems.
So once again we could see Stevie, with a big, big smile on his face, busy clearing all the cups and dishes from the table in my restaurant.
9.Why did the author have doubts about hiring Stevie?
A.Because Stevie was not that reliable.
B.Because Stevie was mentally disabled.
C.Because Stevie was too short and fat.
D.Because Stevie was bad-tempered.
10.By saying the underlined sentence in Para 3, the author meant that the money she paid Stevie_________.
A.could help Stevie out of the trouble
B.couldn’t thoroughly solve Stevie’s problem
C.could make a great difference to Stevie’s life
D.could send Stevie to a group home
11.Why did Frannie sigh after she got word that Stevie would be OK?
A.She was worried that the owner would fire Stevie.
B.She was worried about Stevie’s health.
C.She was worried about Stevie’s finance problem.
D.She was worried that no one would help Stevie.
12.Stevie was popular among the staff and customers in the restaurant because of_________.
A.his special appearance.
B.his hard work and optimism.
C.his funny speeches and actions.
D.his kind-hearted behaviour.

In a development that would have seemed hardly possible just over a decade ago, many of us have gained constant access to information. If we need to find out the score of a ballgame, learn how to perform a complicated mathematical task, or simply remember the name of the actress in the movie we are viewing, we need only turn to our laptops or smartphones and we can find the answers immediately. It has become such an ordinary practice to look up the answer to any question the moment it occurs.It can feel like going through withdrawalwhen we can't find out something immediately. We are seldom offline unless by choice and the Internet, with its search engines like Baidu and Google and the information stored there, has become an external (外部的) memory source that we can access at any time.
Storing information externally is nothing particularly new, even before the invention of computers. In any group relationship, people typically develop a transactive (交换式的) memory, which is a combination of memory stores held directly by individuals and the memory stores they can access because th ey are in touch with someone who knows that information. Like linked computers that can address each other's memories, people in groups form transactive memory systems.
In a recent research led by Besty Sparrow of Columbia University, researchers have explored whether having online access to search engines has become a primary transactive memory source in itself. If asked the question whether there are any countries with only one color in their flag, for example, do we think about flags — or immediately think to go online to find out the answer?
In one experiment, the participants were asked to read 40 memorable unimportant statements of the type that they could look up online (e. g. an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain). Then they were asked to type the statements into computer to assure memory. Half the participants believed the computer would save what was typed and the other half believed the item would be erased. After the reading and typing task, participants wrote
down as many of the statements as they could remember.It turned out that participants who believed the computer would erase what they had typed had better recall than those who regarded the computer as the memory source.
The Internet has become a primary form of transactive memory, and processes of human memory are adapting to the new computing and communication technology. Just as we learn through transactive memory who knows what in our families and offices, we are learning what the computer “knows” and when we should attend to where we have stored information in our computer­based memories. The importance of the information from the Internet is almost equal to that of all the knowledge we gain from our friends and coworkers — and lose if they are out of touch. The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend. We must always remain plugged in to know what the Internet knows.
13.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part of the first paragraph?
A.It is only too common.
B.It is very painful.
C.It gives us pleasure.
D.It makes us curious.
14.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A.transactive memory goes hand in hand with the computer technology
B.transactive memory is shared only when two people don't know each other
C.transactive memory exists long before the invention of the computer
D.transactive memory systems can be developed by an individual independently
15.Which of following is NOT correct about the experiment mentioned in the fourth paragraph?
A.“The fifth American president is James Monroe” is a statement fit for the experiment.
B.Reading and typing the statement are both intended for strengthening participants' memory.
C.Were the typing to be erased, the computer wouldn't be a reliable memory source for participants any longer.
D.The experiment suggests whether or not to type the information has little effect on our memory.
16.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.We are becoming more and more dependent on the Internet for information.
B.The Internet is causing our brain to function less efficiently.
C.The Internet gives us access to a wide range of information without any disadvantages.
D.The author uses losing the access to the Internet to stress the sadness of losing a friend.
17.What is the author's tone in the last paragraph?
A.Approving.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Optimistic.
