Yoon Suk Yeol is on a six-day tour of the United States. His trip marks the first time a South Korean head of state has visited the U.S. in 12 years, and comes at a time of rising nuclear tensions on the Korean peninsula. Joe Biden said in a joint press conference with Yoon on Wednesday that a nuclear attack on the U.S. or its allies, which includes South Korea, would mean the "end of whatever regime"at fault. Yoon addressed a joint session of Congress on Thursday, touting the deep relationship between the U.S. and South Korea that began 70 years ago. He also dropped several cultural references in the speech, which he delivered in English.

peninsula n.半岛

Speaking two languages may help stave off dementia.
讲两种语言可能有助于延缓痴呆症的发生。
A study in Germany found that older people who used two languages on a daily basis from a young age have better memory skills later in life than those who only spoke one language. Neuroscientists hypothesize that because bilingual people switch fluidly between two languages, they may be able to deploy similar strategies in other skills such as multitasking, emotion management, and self-control — that help delay dementia.
德国的一项研究发现，从年轻时就每天使用两种语言的老年人在以后的生活中比那些只说一种语言的人有更好的记忆能力。神经科学家假设，由于双语者在两种语言之间流畅切换，他们可能能够在其他技能方面利用类似的策略--例如多任务处理、情绪管理和自我控制--这有助于推迟痴呆症。

Speaker Kevin McCarthy just managed to get his debt bill through the House on Wednesday, intensifying the pressure on President Joe Biden to opentalks with Republicans over raising the debt ceiling, as a US payment default looms this summer. The plan would increase the debt limit by $1.5 trillion, which would stave off a US default until March 31, 2024 at the latest. But Biden is taking a hardline stance against the plan, saying the debt ceiling is "not negotiable.”
default n.未履行债务
loom v.逼近
take a hardline 采取强硬态度
stance n.态度，姿态
