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 "port", which come 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 the 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 the "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.

In the first sentence the word "part" means _______.

A. different beginnings and different endings

B. the same part that has several meanings

C. the root of the word

D. the same root that has different meanings

By adding a prefix or a suffix to a root, we can get a word which has _______.

A. the meaning of a Latin word           B. a different meaning

C. the meaning of "in" or "out of"            D. a lot of meanings

We can get a noun _______.

A. just by adding "er" to verbs            B. by changing a prefix

C. only by adding "er" to a root      D. by adding a suffix to a verb

Multitasking

People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and can’t focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.

Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.

Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.

“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said.

Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused   toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.

The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.”

1. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask       .

A.seek high productivity constantly

B.prefer handling different things when getting bored

C.are more focused when doing many things at a time

D.have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time

2.When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they          .

A.assessed the multitasking ability of the students

B.evaluated the academic achievements of the students

C.analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks

D.measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability

3.According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their        _.

A.limited power in calculation               B.interests in doing things differently

C.inability to concentrate on one task          D.impulsive desire to try new things

4. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually____  .

A.drive very skillfully

B.go in for different tasks

C.fail to react quickly to potential dangers

D.refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior

 

When I met him,I had a lot of anger inside me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood,there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way,too,but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.

Mr. Clark worked long hours,making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact,the scores of our whole class rose. One day,he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera,and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show,he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.

Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat;those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names,Mr. Clark said,“You’re all going.”

On graduation day,there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001,he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education,and wrote a bestsell -ing book based on his classroom rules,The Essential 55. In 2003,Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages(孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life.

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑,选项中有两项为多余选项.

   1    Men lie; women lie.Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie.A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.

Dr.Robert G.Newby, a professor of sociology , believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women."Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that," he says."And they want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.    2    ”

Women, on the other hand, Dr.Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face.Women are more easily hurt and they are not as likely to try to cheat like men.

Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently."   3  They plan better," Callender notes. "They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. " Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation.    4  

Dr Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.

"   5   Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything said needs to be true," he says.

A.Be truthful at any cost.

D.Women are much more careful in their lies.

E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.

F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn't have to.
