BWhen Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesnt see rubbish, but he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers? A beautiful kite! But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, theyre a business model. The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling(升级改造). Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills(废物填埋地)and reuses it more or less whole. TerraCycles 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target. Szakys $7. 4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil, is quite different from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell organic plant fertilizers made from worm waste. They lost the competition, but started the business anyway. With their goalto make products entirely out of rubbishsuddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton. TerraCycles first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores. To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. As Szaky points out, “The biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right. ”58. What is Tom Szaky now? A. The CEO of TerraCycle. B. An employee of Home Depot. C. A student at Princeton University. D. The manager of a food company. 59. How did Szaky get the idea of upcycling? A. From his visits to foreign companies. B. From his studies at Princeton University. C. Through shopping at big stores in America. D. Through the experience of a business competition. 60. What is the goal of TerraCycle? A. To make cheap and green products. B. To recycle waste materials in another way. C. To make products completely out of rubbish. D. To change worm waste into organic plant fertilizers. 61. What is the advantage of upcycling according to Szaky? A. The cost is kept rather low. B. More materials are available. C. It has a large promising market. D. Its products are environmentally friendly. CScientists should be allowed to change a persons DNA in ways that will be passed on to future generations, but only to prevent serious and strongly heritable (遗传) diseases, according to a new report from the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. However, making changes to these genes in order to improve or change traits such as strength, intelligence or beauty should remain off-limits, the report authors concluded. Changing the so-called germline (种系) is illegal in the United States. It has largely been considered ethically off-limits here as well, at least while bioethicists and scientists considered the unforeseen effects and unexamined moral dilemmas of using new gene-editing technologies. However, scientists have moved forward aggressively to explore the possibility of changing disease genes in other adult human cells with a revolutionary technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. It is widely believed that gene editing of this sort could treat patients with metabolic (新陈代谢的) disorders, certain cancers, and a range of other diseases that arise from genetic mutations (突变) without changing the germline. Last year, Chinese scientists launched a trial that uses CRISPR-Cas9 in a treatment for lung cancer. While the trials outcome is awaited with high anticipation, scientists outside China have expressed concern that ethical reservations in the United States and Europe will put them at a disadvantage. CRISPR-Cas9 makes gene editing more straightforward, more precise and far more widespread. As such, the National Academies report acknowledges that changing heritable DNA in eggs, sperm and early embryos is fast becoming “a realistic possibility that deserves serious consideration”. The 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists who produced the report completed a comprehensive review of the issues raised by that prospect. Clinical trials involving germline editing should only be pursued to treat diseases that cannot be improved with “reasonable alternatives, ” the 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists said. In addition, they added, scientists should convincingly demonstrate they are targeting a gene that either causes or strongly makes a carrier likely to suffer from a serious disease or condition, and that they have weighed the likely risks and benefits of changing that gene. Finally, scientists should conduct long-term follow-up studies to know how gene editing affects the next generations. Public debate and discussion about the technology should continue, the panel added. 62. In what circumstances can scientists change a persons DNA? A. Making a person look much younger. B. Protecting future generations from some heritable diseases. C. Using the most advanced gene-editing technologies. D. Changing the germline for a better function. 63. What is the advantage of CRISPR-Cas9? A. It can treat diseases more precisely without changing the germline. B. It can successfully cure people of most deadly diseases. C. It can change genes in adult human cells. D. It can stop genetic mutations. 64. What possible conclusion can be drawn according to the passage? A. Future generations will live longer and become more intelligent. B. Chinese scientists created CRISPR-Cas9 and put it into use. C. The gene editing is strictly forbidden for moral dilemmas. D. The gene editing research is still at the primary stage. 65. What does this report mainly talk about? A. A new gene-editing technology and concerns about it. B. A germline-editing technology and approval for it. C. Clinical trials of gene editing and social values of them. D. Some germline clinical trials and scientific effects of them. DThey dont quite know how to cope with all the dam trouble theyve got down in Hampden, Maine. And according to town manager Leslie Stanley, it doesnt look as if things will improve any in the immediate future. “Weve got a real annoying problem on our hands. ” he says. The annoyance began in late May. About three miles outside of town a group of beavers (河狸) built a dam near the mouth of a culvert (涵洞) that carries a stream under Canaan Road. Some 50 feet of roadway and several hundred feet of land on each side of the culvert were flooded. Stanley sent a road crew out to level the dam. The beavers rebuilt it. The crew tore it apart again. In fact, they tore it apart for ten mornings-and for ten straight nights the beavers rebuilt it. On
