　 Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root(词根) “port”, which comes from the Latin(拉丁文) word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning-which we call the prefix(前缀), 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 a country”, “re” means “back”, so the word “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. Adding a suffix(后缀) “er” to a verb means a person who does this thing. 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.

　　 Let's look at some of the many ways computers may affect(影响)your life.

　　 Don't want to take a lot of money with you when you get around? Thanks to computers, you can just use your credit card(信用卡)wherever you go. Computers at the bank keep a record of how much money you have and how much you pay.

　　 Want to get the best treatment(治疗)at hospitals? Your doctors at hospitals have been greatly helped by computers to get information about patients. It is possible for doctors from different hospitals to read the records of patients, discuss them and make decisions on the best treatment. It would, at one time, take them hours or days to do so.

　　 Want to talk to your friends both at home and abroad? Then it's necessary to connect your computer to the Internet(因特网)and set up your own E-mail letter box. You can then collect and send mails in seconds. It will be a waste of time and money to post your letters.
