And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots 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 times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh39。s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen173。and173。repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”27．The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.A．recall the past B．a(chǎn)ttract the readers C．introduce the topic D．pare the childhood with the present28．According to the passage which language doesn39。t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A．Hungarian. 　　　　　 B．Spanish.C．Italian.
