2、xport, 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 (前缀), the meaning changes. “Import” means “to carry in” or
3、“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” Lets
4、 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 (后缀), thus meaning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports.
5、 Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on. 21In the first sentence the underlined word “part” means “ ” Adifferent beginnings and different endings Bthe same part that has several meanings Cthe root of the word Dthe same root that has different meanings 22 By

7、a verb B B There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”， I didnt know what it meant. Realizing I didnt follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find somet
8、hing to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged. Most times, I can know what
9、 Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wonder
10、ed what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didnt follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in
11、 England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently.

13、ord “fleeces” means “tickets” Bthe word “pissed” means “angry” Cthe word “engaged” means “broken” Dthe word “rubber” means “eraser” C C There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but are not. “Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it
14、 does not mean they are going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of an action. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while Im away. But please do not dr
15、ive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险)” But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend (假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage
16、is serious. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The “music” here is the result of your actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it. There are other American express
17、ions that mean the same as “face the music” To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed.
