共用题干The Bilingual BrainWhen Karl Kim immigrated to the United States from Korea as 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 Their work led to an important discovery.They found evidence that children and adults don't use the same parts ofthe 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.One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.The other consisted of people who,like Kim,learned their second language later in lite.Peoplefrom both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner ,This allowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of thebrain were getting more blood and were more active.They asked people from both groups to think about whatthey had done the day before ,first in one language and then the other.They couldn't speak out loudbecause any movement would disrupt（干扰）the scanning.Kim and Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain-Broca' s area, which isbelieved to control speech production,and Wernicke's area,which is thought to process meaning.Kim andHirsch found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernicke's area no matter what language theywere speaking.But their use of Broca's area was different.People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca's area for both tneir first and second languages.People who learned a second language later in life used a different part of Broca's area for their second language.How does Hirsch explain this difference?Hirsch believes that when language is first being programmed in young children,their brains may mix the sounds and structures of all languages in the same area.Once that programming is complete,the processing of a new language must be taken over by adifferent part of the brain.A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do asadults.Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch,sound and sight.And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.Kim and Hirsch find that children______.A: use the same region in Broca's area to learn their first and second languageB:learn a second language slower than adultsC:are better at acquiring the sound system of a second language than adultsD:use special parts of the brain to program the structures of their first language

You run a 16-bit scientific data analysis package on your Windows 2000 Professional computer. The package consists of three components. The first component is a data acquisition application that monitors continuous data output from scientific instruments. The second component is a data analysis application that receives data from the data acquisition application by using shared memory. The third component is a data graphing application that displays the processed data in real time. The data analysis application communicates with the data graphing application by using OLE. When you attempt to analyze large data sets, your computer is not able to display data in real time. You install a second processor in your computer; only one processor is used while the package is running, even though task manager shows both processors. You want your data analysis package to use both processors. What should you do?（）A、Configure the data acquisition application to run in its own virtual DOS machine (VDM).B、Configure the data analysis application to run in its own virtual DOS machine (VDM).C、Configure the data graphing application to run in its own virtual DOS machine (VDM).D、Configure the virtual DOS machine for the data acquisition and data analysis applications to.have a hard affinity for processor 0. Configure the VDM for the data graphing application to.have a hard affinity for processor1. E、Configure the virtual DOS machine for the data acquisition to have a hard affinity for processor 0. Configure the VDM for the data graphing application to have a hard affinity for processor1.
