Breaking，also known as breakdancing，is an Olympic sport for the first time in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.It has two events—one for men and one for women，16 B-Boys and 16 B-Girls.

① We know that with thousands of years of developing，people are becoming better at languages.But at the same time，language can also affect（影响） us in different aspects（方面）.
② First，many studies on bilingual（双语） people show that when people change between two languages，they must think more actively than just using one，especially in the prefrontal cortex.This part at the very front of our brain is important for handling（处理） information.And bilinguals learn new languages faster.Bilingualism might make the brain stronger.One researcher found that lifelong bilinguals often get brain illnesses later than those who know only one language.Another study shows that bilinguals get well sooner.
③ Language can also affect how we see the world.Studies show that English speakers think of time from back to front.But Chinese speakers think of time in the opposite way.A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers.People who speak languages like Spanish and French may connect words with men or women traits（性状）.
④ What's more，language might shape（塑造） our personality（个性）.Bilinguals sometimes describe the same picture differently depending on the language they use.Studies also show that bilingual children are better at understanding others' ideas.
