21、 Individuals who learn two languages at an early age seem to switch back and forth between separate "sound systems" for each language, according to a new study.
The study looked at 32 Spanish-English early bilingual (双语的) speakers, who had earned their second language before age 8. They were presented with words beginning with a 'pa' or a 'ba' sound.
While 'pa' and 'ba' sounds exist in both English and Spanish, how those sounds are produced and perceived in the two languages varies slightly. For example, Spanish speakers produce 'pa' in a manner similar to English 'ba'. As a result, English-only speakers might. in some cases, confuse the 'ba' and 'pa' sounds they hear in Spanish, explains Kalim Gonzales, lead author on the study.
For the study, the bilingual participants were divided into two groups. One group was told they would be hearing rare words in Spanish, while the other was told they would be hearing rare words in English. Both groups heard audio recordings of variations of the same two words-bafri and pafri-which are not real words in either language. Participants were then asked to identify whether the words they heard began with a 'ba' or a 'pa' sound.
The findings: Participants perceived 'ba' and 'pa' sounds differently depending on whether they were told they were hearing Spanish words. or whether they were told they were hearing English words.
"What this showed is that when you put them in English mode. they actually would act like English speakers. and then if you put them in Spanish mode. they would switch to acting like Spanish speakers. "Gonzales said. " This shows bilinguals do have two different sounds systems and that they can switch between one language and the other and then use that sound system. "
"But if you learn a second language later in life. you usually have a dominant language and then you try to use that sound system for the other language. which is why you end up having an accent." he said.
"The general view is that bilinguals will never be able to perceive a second language beyond what a late learner is capable of. So even if you learn two languages from birth. you're always going to perceive one of them like a late learner. " Gonzales said. "Our findings cast doubt on that. "
【1】In what way were the English "pafri" and the Spanish "pafri" different?
A．In grammar.

D．In pronunciation.
【2】What did the study want to find out by dividing the bilinguals into two groups?

【3】Which of the following is the cause of "an accent" mentioned in Paragraph 7?
A．English mode.
B．Spanish mode.
C．A second language.
D．A dominant language.
【4】What can be concluded about early bilinguals according to the study?
A．They perceive both languages like a native speaker.
B．They can use two sound systems at the same time.
C．They have two sound systems for each language.
D．They perceive a second language like a late learner.

For artist and father Dominick Cabalo, however, his son Nicholas’ lunches are an oil painting cloth for creativity. Cabalo makes carefully designed drawings on each of 12-year-old Nicholas’ paper lunch bags, usually representing popular lively characters and colorful superheroes.
Cabalo began drawing on the bags about three years ago to help Nicholas make new friends in elementary school. “I noticed he was a bit shy when it came to talking to others,” he said. “So by creating a piece of artwork to ‘break the ice’, kids would come up to him and start talking and hopefully a conversation, or better yet, a new friendship, would start.”
Though Nicholas is in middle school now, he still asks his dad to draw on the lunch bags, and will make requests for characters or drawings that he’d like to see on the next bag. Cabalo has drawn about 400 lunch bags in the past three years. He explained that the bags had really helped his son become more confident at school. “He’s broken out of his shell because of this, and I like to think that I had a hand in helping him do this with these bags.” he wrote.
Nicholas keeps most of the bags. “Some come back in better condition than others,” Cabalo said. “We may lose one due to the occasional wet sandwich or leaky drink, but that’s to be expected.” As for the bags that make it home undamaged, Cabalo posts their photos to social media. His favorites are the more time-consuming series of bags that can be joined up to create a larger image, such as the “Finding Nemo” triptych（三联画）.
