Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident. Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world. Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may, not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time. Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings recommends writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding yourself of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.” 24．What is the difference between countries and languages? 25．What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England? 26．Rawlings says, “The more you learn, the easier it gets.” Do you agree? Why or why not? (In about 40 words) 北京市怀柔区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末统一检测英语试题 第二节：(共4小题；每小题2分，共8分) 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问
