I wasn‘t a(n)38 language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I 39 German at university –loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their 40 tongue, and that‘s been my main 41 for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was 42 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 43 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 44 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I‘d set my heart on45 the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.
I‘m often asked what the46 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. The truth is that it‘s down to endless hours of 47 – reading, studying and practicing grammar. 48 , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and ever increasing numbers of great works become 49 .
It‘s hard, but the 50 can be thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly 51 itself to me. Something 52 happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to 53 elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related they are. All it took was three weeks and I was able to 54 effectively in complex conversations.
Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I‘m much richer for that –it makes me more55 .

Manta rays are found in warm temperatures. The larger species
reaches 7 m in width.
In 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D‘Agostino on giant manta rays (蝠鲼), which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs（软骨鱼类）could be classed as self-aware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and D‘Agostino used the mirror self-recognition test (MSR). It has been used to prove self-awareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.
In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animal‘s body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.
In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highly repetitive
movements and self-directed behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.
Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.
Overall, Ari and D‘Agostino‘s study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites （先决条件）for self-awareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm self-recognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical (伦理道德的) practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1,000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.
58. Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D‘Agostino conducted the study to ______.
A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditions
B. display that mantas can interact with human beings
C. illustrate where self-recognition test can be applied
D. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves
59. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The final result of Ari and D‘Agostino‘s study.
B. The real purpose of Ari and D‘Agostino‘s study.
C. The theoretical basis of Ari and D‘Agostino‘s study.
D. The far-reaching significance of Ari and D‘Agostino‘s study.
60. How did Ari and D‘Agostino make their findings?
A.By observing mantas‘ behaviours.
B.By recording mantas‘ colo ur changes.
C. By collecting statistics from self-recognition tests.
D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.
61. The result of Ari and D‘Agostino‘s study could lead to ______.
A. better protection of mantas
