I strongly suggest consumers be informed of the ingredients of all the food.M:Don't suffer from imaginary fears. We have no evidence that GM foods can definitely harm our health. But we do know foods with chemicals can.Q:Which of the following is true according to the dialog?There are many ways in which human stem cells can be used in basic research and in clinical research.Studies of human stem cells may yield information about the complex events that occur during human development. A primary goal of this work is to identify how stem cells become divided or differentiated. Scientists know that turning genes on and off is central to this process. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are due to abnormal cell division and differentiation. A better understanding of the genetic and molecular controls of these processes may yield information about how such diseases arise and suggest new strategies for therapy. A significant barrier to this use and most uses of stem cells is that scientists do not yet fully understand the signals that turn specific geneson and off to influence the differentiation of the stem cell.The most important potential application of human stem cells is perhaps thegeneration of cells and tissues that could be used for cell-based therapies. Today, donated organs and tissues are often used to replace ailing or destroyed tissue, but the need for transplantable tissues and organs far outweighs the available supply. Stem cells, directed to differentiate into specific cell types, will offer a source of replacement cells and tissues to treat diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease and diabetes.For example, it may become possible to generate healthy heart muscle cells in the laboratory and then transplant those cells into patients with chronic heart disease.Genes are the parts of cells that control the growth of living things, including people. Now, a company in Iceland is working to create the most detailed map yet of all known human genes.Doctor Karl Stefansson, head of the company, believes that the people of Iceland present a special chance to study the human genome and how some genes cause disease. Iceland has a very small population—about 280,000 people. The majority of the population shares a small group of common ancestors who lived thousands of years ago. The people of Iceland keep extensive records of their ancestors. In addition, Iceland has an excellent healthcare system. Doctor Stefansson says his researchers are studying genetic diseases in many families over hundreds of years.So far, researchers have examined the genes of at least 146 families. The Iceland genome project is using a much larger group of individuals to observe differences in human genes than any other project. For example, American scientists made a genetic map based on only eight large families in France. Human beings have almost exactly the same genes. Small genetic differences make us look different from each other. These differences can also make us more likely to get some diseases.The company's main project is to identify genes that cause disease. Scientists believe most common diseases are caused by several abnormal genes working together. The company claims to have already found threedisease-causing genes, linking to a mental disease and two kinds of strokes.。

How do young students and older teachers see the role of education differe ntly?On the one hand, most stude nts on ly want to lear n what is n eeded for their career or immediate success. In their eyes one ' s lifetime drifts by and why not enjoy life to his heart ' s content. So the key role of education is to prepare themwell for a prosperous career, which in turn en sures a finan cially comfortable life for them. But, on the other hand, older teachers, with Ion ger and richer life experiences, believe that the quality of life is not entirely determined by a balanee sheet, and people can lead better lives if they can see beyond their immediate n eeds.2). What is “ quality of life ” and how can it be improved?When talki ng about quality of life, people would n aturally associate it with being financially well off. But the truth is that quality of life is not totally decided by our finan cial status. More importa ntly, we also want to feel that we have an un dersta nding of the world outside our career, for huma n beings have collected a great deal of kno wledge in many differe nt fields. To lead better lives, we should, first of all, develop a meanin gful philosophy of life. While we are striving to getfinancially wealthy, we should improve our moral sense at the same time.3). How can we realize the life value?A great man used to say “ Life is half spe nt before we know what it is clearly in dicates that not every pers on is aware of the meaning of life before he gets old eno ugh. Therefore, as collegestude nts, first of all, we must have a deep in sight into the meaning of life through our practical life experie nee and get rid of any false illusion. Besides, we must acquire adequate knowledge, foster our ability to work independently, and grow ourselves into intellectual maturity, thus pav ing the way for a successful career. More importa ntly, we must develop our moral sen se, which in cludes the sense of resp on sibility and the sense of devoti on. On ly in this way can we live a meanin gful life.2.Questi ons on the Topic and the Passage1)What is the conclusion drawn from the survey based on the responses from over 188,000 stude nts?Today'scollege beg inners are more con sumeristic and less idealistic tha n at any time in the 17 years of the poll.2)What do stude nts think about the importa nee of develop ing a mea nin gfulphilosophy of life?It is less importa nt tha n being finan daily well off or successful.3)Accordi ng to the text, what is the duty of educati onal in stituti ons?To help stude nts become aware of the meaning of life.4)How can we improve our moral sen se?We can improve our moral sense by acquiring knowledge accumulated throughout ages.5). Accord ing to the writer, what must educators prepare stude nts for?It is a fact that the meaning of life does not daw n upon young people easily, so schools must helpstude nts gain an in sight into the outside world bey ond their occupatio n, get far-sighted and beable to see the relati on ship betwee n in dividual thin gs. Accord ing to the author, educators must prepare stude nts for future, not only for career success but also for something much more important than a job. To make the point clear, the author tells of a cartoon where bus in essme n are hav ingdifficulty telli ng “right from wrongII.Backgro und In formati on1.Macon is a city in the middle part of Georgia, U.S.A.2.Robi ns Reside nt Cen ter: It is a service/trai ning cen ter for the U.S. Air Force, which is located in Macon State College.3.Huma nities : In the con text of the readi ng passage,huma nities refers to a broad academic discipli ne concerned with how people throughout history have expressed, confron ted, and un derstood the complexities of the huma n con diti on.

In gen eral, these are kin dergarte n or pre-school, eleme ntary, sec on dary, and higher educati on. The first level is early childhood educati on .Its purpose is to prepare childre n for school. The sec ond level is eleme ntary educati on. Educati on at this level is divided into 6 or 8 grades. And stude nts can atte nd all kinds of courses. The third level is sec on dary education. It is for junior or senior high school students. Some students prepare themselves to go to college, while others take vocational or technical courses to prepare for jobs after graduati on. There are many in stitutio ns of higher educati on in the U.S. Stude nts at tech ni cal in stitutes can receive an associate degree after they fin ish a 2-year program. The n they can con ti nue their study at a four-year college.6.Social Security mainly refers to a field of social welfare concerned with social protect ion, or protecti on aga inst poverty, old age, disability, un employme nt, families with childre n, etc. In the read ing passage, Social Security refers to the system in the US which is a social in sura nee program fun ded through a dedicated payroll tax. It is also known as the Old Age, Survivors and Disability In sura nee program (OASDI), i n refere nee to its three comp onen ts.7.Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is a famous German composer and writer. As a composer, he is well-known for his 13 operas. Besides his activity in composition, Wagner wrote an astonishing number of books and articles . The literary spectrum ran ges from theories of opera to political programs. Richard Wagner is un doubtedly one ofthe leadi ng figures of the 19th cen tury. He in spired not only musicia ns and composers but also leaders in many fields.8.Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), the son of an emi nent Dublin surge on, was an An glo-Irish playwright, no velist, poet, and short story writer. He is one of the most successful playwrights of late Victoria n London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Some of his renowned domestic comedies include Lady Windermeres' Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importa nce(1893), and An Ideal Husba nd(1894).III.Text Structure An alysisThe essay is an argume ntati on for the point that thersa lot more to life tha n a job. It is of a problem-soluti on patter n which can be roughly divided into three parts.Part One con sists of Para.1 to Para.8, prese nti ng the problem. Para.1is a very general stateme nt that the saddest thing about youth is that it is wasted on the young. This is an old conv icti on which serves as alead-i n to develop the discourse in the way how youth is wasted on the young today. From Para.2 to Para.4, we can find a survey con ducted to find out what the youth today are thinking about. The survey report on first-year college stude nts shows that things of material value are of great importa nee to young people. Today's college beg inners are more con sumeristic and less idealistic” than before. From Para.5 to Para.8, the writer provides facts to support the argume nt that the stude nts today are more materialistic, from what they choose to learn in college to what they prefer for work. Finally in Para.s7 and 8, the writer presents another examples if a successful' student as being a sales representative. So from Para.1 to Para.8, the writer builds up a problem with our youth today that they are beco ming more and more in cli ned to care more about material things rather tha n anything else like social resp on sibility.Part Two is made up of 10 paragraphs, from Para.9 to Para. 18. This part is about how to deal with the problem prese nted from the previous 8 paragraphs. From paras.9 to 13, the writer builds up his argume nt that it is the duty of educati onal in stituti ons to help stude nts un dersta nd the meaning of life, In this part the writer argues that it is now more importa nt tha n ever to help our stude nts realize what is truly importa nt in life. And people can understand the meaning of life when they reach middle age. However, it is the duty of educational institutions to help students understand the meaning of life before they reach middle age. If we cannot, the whole system of educati on is to be challe nged. From paras14 to 18, the writer continues to argue about what educati on should do for us. Para. 14 puts forward the argume nt that educati on should teach us to see the connections betwee n thin gs, as well as to see bey on dour immediate needs. Para 15 is a fact to show if people fail to find the connection between things or see beyond their immediate needs, what the results will be—just like a strike for higher salary ending with the loss of jobs. Para. 16 is ano ther fact to show that in the mon ey-mak ing world, people are expected to tell right from wrong. Para. 17 is an example of a pers on who is successful both in his life and in his career. Education can do both. In para. 18 the writer quotes from Oscar Wilde, we ought to give our ability to our work but our genius to our livers”. That brings out an ideal model for educati on, being successful in both social life and on 'ow n life career.Part Three is the last paragraph. Paragraph 19 con cludes the essay by stat ing that our educators should an swer stude ntscries for career educati on and en sure that stude nts have the educati on that they will wishfor later in life.IV.Structured Writi ngA Paragraph of an Argume nt Supported by FactsOne writing technique for an argumentation is to support an argument with facts, statistics, examples, reas ons, etc. In this text we can find that facts are used to support an argume nt.Take paragraphs 14&15 for an example.In Paragraph 14 we have the argument: Education should teach us to see the conn ecti ons betwee n thin gs, aswell as to see bey ond our immediate n eeds. To support the argume nt the writer gives one fact in Paragraph 15: a strike for higher wages only to drive the employers out of jobs.V.Detailed Study of the TextWords & Phrases Study1.formal a. followi ng accepted rules of behavior 正式的，形式上的As it 'a formal dinner party, we will have to wear formal dress. 这是一个正式的晚宴，我们必须穿上正式的礼服。
