Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag may feel extrem
29、ely 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 a
30、irplanes 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
31、 more than fourteen days in their home areas. The researcher took some saliva (唾液 ) from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone (荷尔蒙 ) that increases during stress.

32、rains to measure the size of the brains temporal lobes (脑叶 ) . It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller fight 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 t
33、he 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. Fie says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other s
34、tudies 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 affect memory. 56. According to
35、the text, jet lag _. A. can cause difficulties in speaking B. can make people feel tired for a few weeks C. can be only found in flight attendants D. can be caused by flying over several time zones 57.

40、ich corresponds to the original environment of the real Yuanmingyuan,“ Shi said. “It will be a multi-functional theme park“, Shi said the park can serve as an educational base of patriotism(爱国主义 ). “If visitors compare,the wonderful park with the ruins of the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing, they will keep
41、in mind the sufferings of our nation in modem history;“ Shi said. The park will also be used as a movie and television base. The group already has a development containing an imitation(模仿 ) of the Forbidden City in Beijing, a Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) palace, and a Song Dynasty (960-1279) downtown str
42、eet. The development attracted 3.2 million visitors last year. However, the project has caused different opinions. Ruan Yisan, a history professor with Tongji University in Shanghai, said he could not see any point of rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan, as it has already been destroyed. “The remaining ruin
43、s are a witness of history and serve as a good reminder of what happened,“ Roan said. “Therefore any attempt to rebuild the garden will only be an awkward imitation.
