Therere many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attentiona function(功能) called the executive control system. Its quite possibly the most important system we have because its where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore(忽视), what process are made.The best method to measure(测量) the executive control system is called the Stroop Test.

You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red. Thats the Stroop Test.Bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways, too.
