It is caused by disruption(破坏) to the internal biological clock, and may lead to digestive problems, tiredness, and sleep disruption. Generally speaking, our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone, but jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through three or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we go north or south, we wont notice any difference, because there is usually no time zone change. However, if we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned, and problems may arise. A west-to-east journey, on the other hand, makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustment（调整） since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule. Therefore, a trip from New York to Los Angeles often causes fewer problems than a Los Angeles-New York trip. 51. A traveler who suffers from jet lag has problems in _. A. adjusting his biological clock B. knowing the direction of a jet C. knowing the distance of his flight D. getting used to the weather of a new place 52. If one travels across three time zones, he needs about _ hours to get over his jet lag problem. A. 24 B. 36 C. 48 D. 72 53. A person may suffer the most serious case of jet lag when he takes a _ journey. A. east-to-west B. west-to-east C. north-to-south D. south-to-north 54. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. explain the cause of jet lag problems B. teach us how to avoid jet lag problems C. explain the differences between time zones D. show the ways to lessen the degree of jet lag problemsBA gentle breeze blew through Jennifers hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “Its getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.” She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days when she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now. It all seemed deserted. She couldnt understand what was going on.She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadnt slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different. she wasnt in her mothers room and she wasnt wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her comfortable bed in her pajamas (睡衣).It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”55. Three days later Jennifer came back home _. A. at sunriseB. at sunsetC. at nightD. at midday56. What does the underlined phrase “This thought” most probably mean?A. The idea of going back home. B. Her anxiety about her parents.C. The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater.D. The feeling of getting back home safely.57. Her father didnt take care of the garden because _.A. he was busy looking for her.B. he had to look after his wifeC. he was not strict with his job.D. he no longer enjoyed working in the garden58. What can we infer from this passage?A. In fact Jennifers mother had been sick for days.B. As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared.C. When she found the garden deserted, she realized she was wrong.D. Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was safest for her.C Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless entitlement(特权). But 52-year-old Peter Buffet, a son of billionaire businessman Warren, doesnt think so. “People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what my father has called a silver dagger(匕首) in your back,” Buffet told Reuters in an interview. “It leads to a sense of entitlement and a lack of personal achievement.” Entitlement, he believes, is the worst thing ever. “Anybody who acts like they deserve something “just because ” is a disaster,” he said. In his new book, Life Is What You Make It: Finding Your Own Path to Fulfillment(成就感), Buffet says that the only real wealth handed down from his parents was a value: Open your own path in life. It is a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions, build his own identity, and achieve his own successes. Did his father ever want him to go into finance? “It was encouraged for a moment when I was open to the idea,” he told Reuters. But as he grew older, it became clear the financial world “was not speaking to my heart.” His father accepted his choice to become a musician. He began his musical career by writing music for TV advertisements. He then released his own albums. “I am my own person and I know what I have achieved in my life,” he told Reuters. “This isnt about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff, it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing.” Along with the book, Buffet has begun a “Concert & Conversation” tour in which he plays the piano, talks about his life and warns against consumerist culture and damaging the environment. “Economic prosperity(繁荣) may come and go; thats just how it is,” he writes in the book. “But values are the steady currency(货币) that earn us the all-important reward.”59. “It” in the second paragraph refers to _.A. a life of a top businessmanB. a silver spoon in the mouthC. being born in a wealthy familyD. the victim of a silver dagger in the back60. Peter Buffet did the following things EXCEPT _.A. write the booksB. release the albumsC. make TV advertisementsD. begin “concert & conversation” tour61. The underlined sentence “values are the steady currency that earn us the all-important rewards” means that _.A. money can bring all the rewards to usB. life is actually about values and what you enjoy C. economic prosperity is the steady and important rewardD. value and currency earn us everything important in return62. Peter Buffett would probably agree that _.A. wealth is there to enjoy to the fullestB. success and fame are what life is aboutC. many people are fooled by economic prosperityD. young people should find their own path to personal achievementD In the early 1950s, researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language. Research in the1960s found the opposite. Bilingual(双语的) people scored higher than monolinguals-people who speak only one language. So which is it?Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Organization for the Advancement of Science. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer. But researcher Ellen Bialystock says it probably does make you better at certain skills.Ellen Bialystock said,Imagine driving down the highway. Therere many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?And the answer, she says, is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention - a function called the executive control system. Its quite possibly the most important system we have because its where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore, what to process are made.Ms. Bialystock is a professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors. The person has to ignore the word but say the color. The problem is that the words are all names of colors.Ellen Bialystock said, So you would have the word blue written in red, but you have to say red. But blue is so eye-catching, its just lighting up all these words in your brain, and you really want to say blue. So you need a mechanism(机制) to override that so that you can say red. Thats the executive control system.Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in
