【正文】 their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation（動(dòng)力）， learning and memory. However, people who weren39。t friends had different reactions to the same clips. Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes one39。s won values, opinions, and interests strength, scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. They did an experiment with firstyear college students who met in class for the first time.

Pretty unbelievable, right? But how could it be? To find out, we spoke to David－one of our brave Babbel learners－to see how the Babbel app successfully got him speaking French in just one week. How much time did you learn each day? I didn39。t need to give my whole life over to learning French. Each Babbel lesson takes only 15 minutes, and I give myself the certain aim（目標(biāo)） of finishing three Babbel lessons daily. This took 45 minutes each day. How did the Babbel app help you learn so quickly? The Babbel app has a course plan for beginners that taught me how to make sentences in French within the first few days. Then I was able to personalize（個(gè)性化）my learning by choosing lessons on eating, drinking, music, culture, travelling and so on. This made me quickly enlarge（擴(kuò)大） my vocabulary! This way of learning kept me really interested, and made sure I wasn39。t bored with grammar practice that we all remember from school! After 7 days I was able to introduce myself in French, talk about my hobbies and interests, and most importantly, municating with a native（本國(guó)的） French speaker in a real talk and I could even play a joke or two! Would you introduce this app to others? Certainly! Babbel has 14 languages to choose from, so if you39。re thinking about brushing up on your German for a business trip, or learning a bit of Japanese for next year39。s summer vacation, you39。ll be happy to hear that you only need an app, 7 days of learning to get you perfect!（1）The Babbel app is used for people to _______. A.speak with nativesB.learn foreign languagesC.do international businessD.plan a vacation abroad（2）How did the Babbel app help David learn quickly? A.It took him little time every day.B.It provided him with 14 languages.C.It gave him daily grammar practice.D.It offered lessons according to his needs.（3）What39。s the meaning of brushing up on? A.復(fù)習(xí)B.升起C.刷子D.繼續(xù)（4）The example of David is used in the passage to show that _______. A.hard work is really importantB.Babbel app sells wellC
