V. Passage Completion (10%, 1% for each): 不計大小寫 There are many advantages of multilingualism. These include better performance at tasksinvolving “ 66 function” of the brain to plan and prioritize, better defense against dementiain old age. While you may be envious of the ability to speak more than one language, are you awarethat there are 67 when bilinguals or multilinguals behave differently depending on whichlanguage they are speaking? It is an exciting notion that one’s very self could be broadened by the 68 of two or more languages. So what is going on here? There are three very good reasons toexplain this phenomenon. One is that most people are not equally bilingual. Therefore, lack of 69 of the difference of the synonymous items in the new language makes them tense andslow; however, they are more spontaneous, more confident and even more 70 in thelanguage they were reared in from childhood. The second reason may be the psychological effectcalled “priming.” Asking people to tell a happy story, for example, will put them in a better mood.The choice between two languages may involve the 71 of a huge prime. SpeakingTaiwanese rather than English, for a bilingual from Taiwan working in New York, might 72 up feelings of family and home. Switching to English might prime him to think of school and work. 73 with unequal ability and priming, the words and structure of a language can make peopledifferent. Greek, for example, starts a sentence with a verb, which contains lots of information.Therefore, the Greeks are said to be 74 to interrupt others. Presently, linguists and scientistsare still working on the topic, hoping to 75 out more about this phenomenon.
