25、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 Universit
26、y 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 fli
27、ght attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Halt 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 (唾液) from the womens mouths to measure levels of a
28、 hormone (荷尔蒙 ) that increases during stress . 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 brains temporal lobes (脑叶). It was found that the women who had less time between flights had
29、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
30、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 increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory. Scientists
31、 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 affect memory. 60According to the text, jet lag .

35、inese expressions and special humour with a Peking accent, Dashan has become a household name across China. People have always wondered how the 36 year old Canadian can be so skillful in the Chinese language even though it is considered by many as one of the most difficult languages in the world. Bu
36、t to Dashan, the great challenge was a piece of cake due to his deep interest, proper method and the excellent environment he created for himself. “Interest is the best teacher.” That is a universal principle. Even if the 20 year old Mark Rowswell - Dashans real name - hadnt fully realized what attr
37、acted him to the Chinese department at the University of Toronto in Canada, he was already deeply interested in Chinese culture when he decided to have further study in Beijing. Entering the Chinese department of Peking University in 1988, Dashan felt like a duck in the water. Study is always a hard
38、 job, no matter how much interest you have. Therefore, effective ways are necessary to improvement. “Learn for life and learn in life” is Dashans belief. As a freshman at the University of Peking, the student did study the textbooks, which especially aimed on foreign Chinese learners. They did help
39、him build a solid foundation. However, thats far from enough to grasp the Chinese language. Starting in his junior year, Dashan began to read original Chinese novels, Chinese newspapers and even the selected works of Deng Xiaoping. “Only the material for Chinese native readers could give me proper s
40、ense of the language, ” he said. The language that is the daily means of communication is the principle that Dashan always keeps in his mind. What you have really learned depends on what you can use, not necessarily your textbooks. To learn in daily life requires a favourable language environment, w
41、hich is also necessary for improvement. Dashan admits it is hard for Chinese English learners to be brought into a good English speaking environment, but insists, “to listen and speak as much as possible does help.” To help Chinese English learners develop a favourable environment, Dashan took part
42、in VCD programme - “Travel with Dashan” - to teach daily and up to date English in real life situations. 64Dashan could learn Chinese very well because of . Ahis interest Bpracticed skills on Chinese expression Chis special method Dspecial humour with a Peking accent 65The sentence “learn for life a
43、nd learn in life” here means . Alearn things in our daily life, otherwise it will not last long Bwe should study in practice all our lives Clife is difficult, so wed better learn more to lead a better life Dlanguage is the necessary part of our daily life, so we practise it Frequently 66Dashan comes
44、 from . AEngland B France CAmerica DCanada 67Dashan read the selected works of Deng Xiaoping because . Ahe admired the former leader of the government Bhe hoped to learn more of the spirits of it Che wanted to give himself a proper sense of the Chinese language Dthey are very popular in modern times
45、 B Young men and women, if you suffer from the same eases, dont despair. Here Ill give you some examples to show that it is never too late for success. Charles Darwins early life was a mess. In his well educated family, he was considered to be rather dull. He was sent to Glasgow to study medicine, b
46、ut he couldnt stand the sight of blood. He was sent to a divinity (神学) school and barely managed to graduate. Therefore he quit the whole business and shipped to the South American coastline on the famous exploring ship Beagle. On that voyage, one of historys greatest scientists was born. It was her
47、e that he collected the material for the book that would revolutionize (彻底改变) biological science: The Origin of Species. Edisons inventions are beyond counting, and all of us are benefited from him: You may not know that Thomas Edison, in his early teens, was so dull that his teacher tried to get hi
48、m out of the class. The teachers said that his brain was addled. Tschaikowsky never showed any interest in music during his formative years. In fact he never showed gift in any direction whatever. It was not until he was 22 that he suddenly became fired with a great passion for music, and finally became a great musician with world fame. So whos to say what about youth? A young boy or girl who knows what he or she wants to do in life probably has a better future. No
