  Some English words are made up of the same pad and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import and export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same “port”, which comes from the latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning which we call prefix, the meaning changes. “Import” means “to carry in ”or “to bring into a country” ; “export”, “ex ” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of the country” . “ re” means “back ”, so “ report ” means “ to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”; “transport”, “trans ” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another” .

  Let's look at the following words; supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix, thus meaning “a person who completes the verb” . So “supporter” means “somebody who supports” . A “reporter”is“somebody who reports”. “Importer”is“somebody who imports ”and “exporter” is “somebody who exports” and so on.

1.In the first sentence the word “part” means ________.

  I needed to get some money, so after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham's for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can't say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I'1I never forget.

  I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock(貨物)and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the stammer clothes they couldn't sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days be-fore the sale, begins and then are reduced by 60%in the sale Clever! lastly, they buy in“seconds”(clothes mot in perfect condition)for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.

  When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn't believe my eyes; this wasn't shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.

  Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行)through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.

  Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾氣)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham's were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.

  In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.

  You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

(1) What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5%cheaper?

A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering.
Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.
The researcher took some saliva from the women”s mouths to measure levels of a hormone(荷爾蒙) that increases during stress(緊張). He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain”s temporal lobes(腦葉).
It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.
The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.
Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently (永久性的) affect memory.
【小題1】According to the text, jet lag .

  1. can cause difficulties in speaking
  2. can make people feel tired for a few weeks
  3. can be only found in flight attendants
  4. can be caused by flying over several time zones
【小題2】It can be inferred from the text that .
  1. the conclusion is refused by many scientists
  2. scientists fear that this research is not done properly
  3. the scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
  4. every women who were examined in the research were mot healthy
【小題3】From the result of the research we can see that .
  1. the women who have longer rest at home show better memory
  2. the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobes
  3. the women who have longer flights fail the memory test
  4. the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones
【小題4】What is the subject discussed in the text?
  1. The cause of jet lag.
  2. A story of a group of flight attendants.
  3. The importance of having enough rest after flights.
