Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.However, neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak

18、to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf.

19、恒) ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance I thought it would bring.We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jewelers shops.

26、d Benefits Foreign Language LearningHave you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a childa bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them

They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing

29、the words. All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian, you may ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots

30、 with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two t

32、o learn foreign languages.
