The Bilingual Brain

When Karl Kim immigrated to the United States from Korea s a teenager, he had a hard time learning English. Now he speaks it fluently, and he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language. As a graduate student, Kim worked in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York. (1) They found evidence that children and adults don’t use the same parts of the brain when they learn a second language.
The researchers used an instrument called an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. (2) . 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 allowed 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

Yesterday, when Lil’ Kim was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for lying to a grand jury, it seemed like more proof that rappers just can’ t stay out of jail. The conventional wisdom is that for hip-hop stars, there’ s a connection between crime and credibility. Every time some rapper poses for a mug shot, there is a chorus of commentators ready to declare that it’ s all a publicity stunt.
The sentencing of Lil’ Kim comes after two months when two rappers faced more serious charges. On June 17 the Philadelphia rapper Cassidy turned himself in to the police, who were looking for him as a suspect in a shooting that killed one man and wounded two others. Less than two weeks later, Cassidy’ s second album, "I’ m a Hustla", arrived in stores; it makes its debut at No. 5 on this week’ s Billboard album chart.
And in May, the emerging Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane surrendered in connection with the slaying o
A. released his first album ’after his arrest
B. was arrested and hence the sale of his album sharply declined
C. delivered himself to the police
D. was caught by the police

When a Brain Forgets Where Memory Is

Every so often, seemingly normal people suddenly walk out of their lives and disapper, with no clue of who they are, where are from or what their previous life was like. It is the stuff of fiction, but it happens in real life too.
Last year a Westchester County lawyer--a 57-year-old husband and father of two, Boy Scout leader and churchgoer--left the garage near his office and disappeared. Six months later he was found living under a new name in a homeless shelter in Chicago, not knowing who he was or where he came from.
Library searches and contact with the Chicago police did not help the man. His true identity was uncovered through an anonymous tip to "America’s Most Wanted." But when he was contacted by his family, he had no idea who they were.
On the fictional side is a play called "Fugue (神游症)," now on stage at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York. In it, a woman found wandering homeless
A. Because the heroine is very funny in the play. B. Because the play is filled with laughter.
B. Because it involves an exploration of fugue.
C. Because the theme of the play is quite profound.
