Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same "port", which comes from the Latin word, meaning "to carry" or "to move" from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning, which we call the prefix, the meaning changes. "Import" means "to carry in" or "to bring into a country"; "export", "ex" means "out of", so this word means "to carry out of the country"; "re" means "back", so the "report" means "to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody"; "transport", "trans" means "across" and it means "to carry across one place to another".  Let's look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix, thus meaning a person who does this thing. So "supporter" means somebody who supports. A "reporter" is somebody who reports. "Importer" is somebody who imports and "exporter" is somebody who exports, and so on.

Scuba diver Wendy Craig, a marine biologist, will carry the torch on three-to-four-minute underwater journey at Agincourt Reef on June 27, creating Olympic history, organizers said yesterday. Burning at 2,000 degrees, the torch is expected to remain alight three meters underwater because of a special kind of technology which creates a "fierce flame"--- too powerful to be drowned out by water. Charles Tegner, managing director of torch creator, said the flame would burn like a flame from oxygen-producing chemicals.

"It's clear what your problem is." He examined her and then gave her some advice. "If you don't do what I say, Mrs. Parker," he said, "you will have a heart attack. It could kill you." Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time. The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher's shop . "I'd like ten pounds of steak , please," she said.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Say you forgot about Valentine's Day, and it's too late to send someone some roses. Someday, you'll at least be able to send their odors . A Paris lab under the direction of David Edwards, Michigan Technological University alumnus, has created the oPhone, which will allow odors to be sent, by Bluetooth and smart phone attachments, to oPhones across the state, country or ocean, where the person who receive it can enjoy American Beauties or any other kinds of rose. It can be sent by email, tweet, or text. Edwards says the idea started with student designers in his class at Harvard, where he is a professor.    Normally, he says, there's a clear end in sight, but with their project no one had a clue  who was going to pay for the research or if there was even a market. With the early major buzz  produced -- Wired Magazine, National Public Radio, and the British press -- Edwards is sure the market will come.     "We create odor profiles ," says Blake Armstrong, director of business communications at Vapor Communications, an organization operating out of Le Lab in Paris. "We put that into the oChip that gives away that smell."     Edwards said that the original four chips that will come with the first oPhones can be combined  into thousands of different odors -- produced for 20 to 30 seconds.     In fact, Le Lab is working with Cafe Coutume, the premier coffee shop in Paris, using oPhones to create nice experiences.     "Imagine you are online and want to know what a particular brand of coffee would smell like," Edwards says. "Or, you are in an actual long line waiting to order. You just tap on the oPhone and get the experience."     And there are other benefits. "Fragrance houses, of course, culinary, travel, but also healthcare. "A patient with brain damage had lost memory, and the oPhone can help bring that memory back. Improvements are already planned at the end of year--give phone to audience in 2015. "The oPhone will finally be smaller. " according to Armstrong. Question: Which word best describes people's attitude to oPhone's market in the future? Options: A: cold B: confident C: doubtful D: concerned
