Understanding word formation is crucial for expanding vocabulary, especially in academic contexts. Prefixes and suffixes play a significant role in this process. "The prefix 'mal-' often means 'bad' or 'abnormal'. For example, 'The malfunction of the elevator forced us to take the stairs.' Here, 'malfunction' perfectly demonstrates the negative or abnormal state implied by the prefix 'mal-'. Similarly, the suffix '-ism' indicates 'a belief, doctrine (教义、学说)', or 'behavior.' as seen in the word 'socialism'. Compound words are another important aspect of vocabulary building. These are words formed by combining two or more words, such as 'daydream' (day + dream)or 'sunrise' (sun + rise). Understanding these components can help in grasping the meaning of new words more easily.Paraphrasing is also a valuable skill. It involves rewording a sentence or passage while retaining its original meaning. For example, the sentence 'The results of the study indicate that the new drug is effective in treating the disease' can be paraphrased as 'The study shows that the new drug works well in treating the disease.' What does "malfunction" mean in the sentence "The malfunction of the elevator forced us to take the stairs"? A. To perform better than expected.B. To fail to work properly or to break down.C. To improve the performance of a system.D. To function well and efficiently.

The scientist told him that the secret of success is hard work。 A few days later the young man asked the same question again . Einstein was very annoyed . He did not say anything ,but wrote a few words on a piece of paper . On it was written: A=X+Y+Z.“What does this mean ?” asked the young man 。“A means “ success"" explained the old scientist 。 “X stands for hard work ,Y for good method (方法) and Z Z means stop talking and get down to work.”1.

So a newspaperman always likes to get some information (信息)from someone who was there, which can be given in the person’s own words .Because he can use only a few words ,the newspaperman must choose those words carefully ,every one must be effective(有效)。 Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes” he shouted"; instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain", he will write" they thundered down the mountainside”。 Because many of the readers aren’t very clever, and most of them are in a hurry。6.

To write his 2010 book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing. He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries. For starters, American eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. "We don´t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods," explained Pasternak. Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak´s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce. For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes. Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event—say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch—as opposed to hastily wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner. Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. "The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American," said Pasternak. "So really, regardless of what you´re eating, if someone´s walking four miles more than you each day, they´re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you."1、What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods?A.Variety.B.Flavor.C.olor.D.Naturalness.2、What is typical of Americans in the way of eating?E.They emphasize nutrition.F.They tend to eat quite a lot.G.They prioritize convenience.H.They care about flavors.3、What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets?I.Fruits and vegetables.J.Olive oil and red wine.K.Seasonal local produce.L.Unprocessed ingredients.4、What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common?M.They get the whole family to eat at a table.N.They eat their meals regularly and punctually.O.They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast.P.They attach great importance to their meals.5、Compared with the average American, people in healthy societiesQ.walk at least 4 miles a dayR.do considerably more walkingS.pay more attention to body shapeT.consume a lot more organic food
