Passage 1
In this week's edition of special series on Bizarre Medical Conditions, there is a report of the case of Michelle Myers.
Myers is an American woman who woke up one day speaking with a British accent, even though she's lived in the United States all her life.
In 2015, Myers went to bed with a terrible headache. She woke up sounding like someone from England. Her British accent has remained for the past two years.
Previously, Myers had woken up speaking in Irish and Australian accents. However, on both of those occasions, the accents lasted for only a week.
Myers has been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome. It's a disorder in which a person experiences a sudden change to their speech so that they sound like they're speaking in a foreign accent.
The condition is most often caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
Although people with the syndrome have intelligible speech, their manner of speaking is altered in terms of timing and tongue placement, which may distort their pronunciation.
The result is that they may sound foreign when speaking their native language.
It's not clear whether Myers has experienced a stroke or other brain damage, but she also has a separate medical condition, which can result in loose joints, easily bruised skin and other problems.
Foreign Accent Syndrome is rare, with only about 60 cases reported within the past century.
However, a different American woman reportedly spoke with the Russian accent in 2010 after she fell down the stairs and hit her head.

9. What happened to Michelle Myers one day?
10. What does the passage say about Foreign Accent Syndrome?
11. What accent did another American woman speak with after a head injury?

9. B
10. A

【翻译】

在本周的《奇异医疗事件》特别系列中，有一篇关于米歇尔·迈尔斯病例的报道。

迈尔斯是一名美国女子，尽管她一直生活在美国，但有一天她醒来时说话带着英国口音。

2015年，迈尔斯头非常疼，就上床睡觉。她醒来时说话听起来就像个英国人。过去两年来她的英国口音一直没有变。

此前，迈尔斯一觉醒来说话就带着爱尔兰和澳大利亚口音。然而，在这两种情况下，口音都只持续了一周。

迈尔斯被诊断出患有外国口音综合症。这是一种障碍，一个人突然改变了说话方式，听起来就像在用外国口音说话。

这种情况通常是由中风或创伤性脑损伤引起的。

尽管患有这种综合症的人说话容易理解，但他们说话的方式会因时间和舌头的位置而改变，这可能会使他们的发音发生变化。

结果就是说母语时，他们听起来可能像外国人。

目前还不清楚迈尔斯是否经历过中风或其他脑损伤，但她也有其他健康问题，可能导致关节松动、皮肤容易擦伤和其他问题。

外国口音综合症很少见，在过去的一个世纪里只报告了大约60例。

然而，据报道，还有一名美国女子在2010年从楼梯上摔下来撞到头后，说话带着俄罗斯口音。

请根据你刚刚听到的短文回答第9题至第11题。

9. 米歇尔·迈尔斯怎么了？

10. 关于外国口音综合症，文章说了什么？

11. 另一位美国妇女头部受伤后说话是什么口音？
