资料：What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?

It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.

But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.

But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.

These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.

Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

本题考查的是细节理解。

【关键词】NOT true；the brain‘s executive function

【主题句】第4自然段But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks. 但现在，从最近的一系列研究所收集的证据表明，双语的经验可以提高大脑的所谓执行功能的指挥系统，指挥我们在规划、解决问题和完成其他各种思维任务时所运用的注意过程。

第5自然段These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving. 这些过程包括忽视分心以保持专注的能力，任意将注意力从一件事转移到另一件事的能力，以及在脑海中记住信息的能力，比如开车时记住一系列的方向。

【解析】本题的问题是“关于大脑的执行功能，以下哪一项是不正确的？” 选项A意为“它有助于人们保持专注”，选项B意为“它记住一系列的方向”，选项C意为“它是一个指挥系统”，选项D意为“它指导注意力过程”。根据主题句可知，A、C、D选项均有提及，故选B。
