6、A new study says one part of the 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 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 airplanes 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 . 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 women’s mouths to measure levels of a 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 brain’s temporal lobes (脑叶).

It was found that the women who had less time between flights had 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 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 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 .

57．According to the text , jet lag        .

       B．the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobes

       C．the women who have longer flights fail the memory test

       D．the women who rest more than 14 days produce more hormones

5、At a computer exhibition Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated : “If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has ,we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.”

In response to ‘Bill’s comments , General Motors announced a news release stating :

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft , we would be driving cars with the following characteristics :

1. For no reason your car would crash twice a day .

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car .

3. Sometimes your car would die on the freeway for no reason and you would just accept this , restart and drive on .

4. Only one person at a time could use the car , unless you bought “Car95” or “CarNT” . But then you would have to buy more seats .

5. If you tried to get your car to a mechanic , you’d make a long distance call , be put on hold for three or four hours , when you finally got the mechanic , you’d to told how to fix it yourself , and the mechanic would hang up before you even tried his or her suggestions .

6. People would get excited about the “new” features in Microsoft cars , forgetting completely they had been available in other cars for many years .

7. The airbag system would say: “Are you sure”? before going off .

8. Every time GM introduced a new model car , buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car .

9. Microsoft cars would have a special radio/cassette player which would only be able to listen to Microsoft FM, and play Microsoft Cassettes .

10. If you couldn’t afford to buy a new car , then you could just borrow your friend’s and then copy it .

11. You’d press the “start” button to shut off the engine .

53．The purpose of writing this article is        .

       A．to state the advantages of Microsoft in making cars

       B．to inform that Microsoft will make cars in the future

       C．to compare cars made by GM with those made by Microsoft

       D．to make fun of the disadvantages of Microsoft’s products

54．It can be inferred from the passage the airbag system of the new car        .

       A．would be more safe than the old one

       B．would become useless in case of an accident

       C．would not surprise the driver by going off suddenly

       D．would remind the driver of the danger ahead of time

55．What does the writer really mean by saying “You’d press the ‘start’ button to shut off the engine”?

       A．The design of Microsoft is very funny and strange .

       B．It is better to control the engine like a computer .

       C．The engine control system requires to be improved .

       D．It is impossible to shut off the engine by pressing the “start” button .

56．The best title of this passage would be        .

      A．Characteristics of the New Cars             B．GM Should Learn from Microsoft

       C．If Microsoft Build Cars                        D．New Cars to be Made in the Future
