But to the students how to solve a very difficult problem. She understood it very well. But somehow, at that moment, she could not explain it. Emma said, “I must be losing it.”Americans seem to have a lot of concerns about losing it. At least that is what you would think from hearing them talk. They use the expression when they feel they are losing control. It can mean losing emotional control, orlosing the ability to do something, or losing mental powers.Word experts differ about how the expression started. Some believe it came from television programs popular in the 1980s. Others believe it began with psychologists who deal with how people think, feel and act.“We Americans have many concerns about controlling oar lives. Perhaps we worry to much.” one psychologists said. “In many situations, to say you are losing it eases the tensions(不安).” It is healthy. And most people who say they are having a problem are not losing it.People may feel more like they are losing it when they are “down in the dumps.” Word expert Charles Funk says people have been feeling down in the dumps for more than 400 years. The word dumps probably comes from Northern European countries. The languages of Denmark and Norway both have similar words. The words mean falling suddenly. Americans borrowed this saying. And, over the years, it has become a popular way of expressing sadness.19. What problem did Mary think she had?A. She had quite low intelligenceB. She seemed to have a poor memory.C.

Edinburgh University and the Royal Society of Arts say research points to bilingual (双语) children being better at learning a lot of subjects.A new study by the university suggests children speaking two languages make no more grammatical mistakes in English than those speaking one language. Professor Antonella Sorace tested a number of school-age bilingual children. Her study showed that children learning two languages may begin to talk later.Professor Sorace said bilingualism made children generally better at learning in their lives. She believes parents often put off bringing their children up bilingually because they feel it may hinder(阻碍) their intellectual(智力的) development.“My parents don’t know how good bilingualism can be and they think that bilingualism can cause confusion and intellectual delay in the child,” Professor Sorace said. “They purposely refuse to speak one of the languages they could be speaking.”“By bringing them up bilingually they can give them much more than two languages.” Professor Socrace said. She hoped her findings would encourage parents to send their children to Gaelic schools.22.
