问题     Experts say children can begin learning a second language in preschool, and should begin before the age of ten to take advantage of young children’s natural ability to acquire language. This advantage is lost by the time most children encounter (遇到) a foreign language in the classroom, in middle school or high school.
    Dr. Noble Goss, an assistant professor of Spanish and German at Harding University in Arkansas, says, "As a father of bilingual (双语的) children (My wife is Mexican), I know that not only it is easy for children to learn one or more languages, but they have an amazing way of separating them out more successfully than you would think. "
    If a child hears two languages early, he accepts both equally. But if given a chance to speak both, can they be fluent in both?
   Not everyone agrees that early childhood is the only time to start a language, however. Reeves, the chairman and founder of the Center for Performance Assessment in Denver, Colorado, points to the Defense Language Institute’s success at training adult students to speak other language fluently.
    "The frequently quoted argument that post-adolescence (青春期后) is too late to acquire foreign language skills is still a mystery," says Reeves.
    Still, if children are going to devote the six years or so of study it takes to master a second language, starting early just makes sense. [br] If a child lives iii a bilingual family, he will probably      .
选项 A、speak both languages at home
B、acquire a language more quickly
C、be more capable as a language learner
D、spend less time on language learning
答案 A
解析 根据题干关键词bilingual定位到第二段，Dr. Noble Goss为双语家庭中的父亲。根据该段第二至四行他的话I know that not only it is easy for children to learn one or more languages，but they have an amazing way of separating them out more successfully than you would think.可知，儿童不仅可以轻松地学习一种或多种语言，还具有一种令你难以置信的惊人能力，使所学的多种语言互不干扰。所以正确答案为A“在家说两种语言”。
