'The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a violinist and music
teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to take
pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year olds. When she started
teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's five-year-old school friends.
Magaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an
hour, once a fornight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to
attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they
have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and
reading of music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always
suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional
methods.

III. Read the passage and choose the best answer. (1.25pts)
Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe
that children learn more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age
12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this idea a fact or myth?
Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the contrary, research
studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish,
concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on
Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested; that is, the
ability to learn increased as the age increased, from childhood to adulthood.
There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the
world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use
logical thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline
(self-control) than children.
All in all, it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not
be a fact, but a myth.

1. The main idea of the passage is ____________.
A. teenagers are more difficult to teach
B. Danish teenagers can learn Swedish faster than younger children
C. adults are more logical than children

A. at an early age
B. when they reach their twenties
C. at an old age
D. after they become young men
3. According to the passage, teenagers can learn a foreign language ___________ than younger children.
A. harder
B. more efficiently
C. more slowly
D. more carefully
4. The reason why adults understand meanings more easily than children is that _______________.
A. adults have more self-discipline
B. adults like to play more than children
C. adults have more knowledge than children
D. adults accept new things more easily than children
