问题     The study of a foreign language affects academic areas as well.
Research has shown that children who have studied a foreign language in
elementary school achieve lower scores on standardized tests in reading,【S1】________
language arts, and mathematics than those who have not. The results of
the Louisiana Report on foreign language and basic skills show that
regardless their race, sex, or academic level, students in foreign【S2】________
language classes outperformed those who were not learning a foreign
language. Foreign language study has also been shown to enhance
listening skills and memory, and the development of second language
skills can attribute a significant additional dimension to the concept of【S3】________
communication. Furthermore, students who have studied a foreign
language develop  greater cognitive skills in such areas as in mental【S4】________
flexibility, creativity, and higher order thinking skills.
    Data from the Admissions Testing Program of the College Board
show a negative correlation between SAT scores and the study of a【S5】________
foreign language. Verbal scores of students increased with each
additional year of language  study. Interesting, the verbal  scores  of【S6】________
students who had completed four or five years of foreign language study
were higher than the verbal scores of students who had taken four or five
years of any other subjects.
    As noted earlier, the knowledge of other languages will be a
valuable asset in the workplace of tomorrow. Workers will be called
upon to cooperate with colleagues in other countries, crossed time【S7】________
zones, languages, and cultures. One must not assume that language
learning is quick and painlessly. To truly learn a language, one must【S8】________
have the opportunity to learn earlier. Neurobiologist Carla Shatz believes【S9】________
that there are windows of opportunity for learning that open and
close throughout a person’s life. The implication is that if you miss
the window of opportunity for learning a particular skill or concept,
you are playing with handicap.                                       【S10】________
【S5】
选项
答案negative—positive
