13、olving squirrel monkeys and baboons(狒狒) found that both species suffered permanent damage to key cells called dopamine neurons, which are lost in Parkinsons, after receiving three low doses of Ecstasy at three-hour periods.

14、imal models for the human brain. George Ricaurte, who led the research, said that widespread abuse of the drug may already be claiming victims of such neurological(神经性的) damage. “The most troubling result is that young adults using Ecstasy may be increasing their risk for developing Parkinsonism as

15、they get older.” Alan Leshner, a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse, said: “This study emphasizes the multi-aspect damage that Ecstasy can do to users. Weve long known that repeated use damages brain cells. This study shows that even very occasional use can have long-lasting

16、effects on many different brain systems. It sends an important message to young people: dont experiment with your own brain.” Janet Betts, the Essex mother whose daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995, said: “This comes as no surprise.

21、t repeated use of the drug damages brain cells C. occasional use of the drug can have long-lasting effects on ones brain systems D. taking drug has the same symptoms as smoking BIn Western countries people have been using the installment (分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Tod

22、ay, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S.A., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is a

23、lways higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment (预付定金) when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up.

26、mbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.
