fine cooking. “its a polite chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests. robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. the minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. i was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. after everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “you want to be the same as american girls on the outside.” she handed me an early gift. it was a miniskirt. “but inside you must always be chinese. you must be proud that you are different. your only shame is to have shame.” it was not until years later that i was able to

and ease the citys employment problems. the government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year,1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas. people interested in jobs in beijings rural villages and townships can submit applications to the beijing municipal personnel bureau or online at from february 1 through march 15.“we hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” sun zhenyu, deputy director of beijing personnel bureau, told xinhua news

performance is up to the required standards, sun said. wang lina, who graduated from beijing union university last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the citys countryside. after majoring in industrial and commercial administration, wang served as the assistant to the village head of ertiaojie village in suburban beijings pinggu district. for one project, wang contacted people at the beijing academy of agricultural sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. her efforts paid off. the village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year. nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to figures provided by the ministry of education. the ministry predicts that 4.95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year,820,000 more than last year. about 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate. in

cropland for soybeans, corn and cotton in the united states is transgenic(转基因的).genetic engineering adds or changes genes in a plant to produce desired qualities.the united states is one of the twenty-five countries where farmers planted genetically engineered crops in 2009.an agricultural biotechnology group says ge crops planting decreased in europe. but the amount of cropland planted with ge crops rose by about seven percent worldwide.the national research council, part of the national academies in washington, recently published a study. the study examined how genetically engineered crops have affected farming in the united states. it found that many farmers have better harvests, better weed control and fewer losses from insect damage compared to traditional crops.lareesa wolfenbarger is a university of nebraska biology professor and a member of the committee that wrote the report. she says they found that genetically engineered crops can be better for the environment.lareesa wolfenbarger:“in general, we find that genetically engineered crops have had fewer harmful effects on the environment than non-ge crops produced conventionally.”for example, she noted that crops designed to resist damage by glyphosate(草甘膦) need fewer pesticides(杀虫剂).glyphosate is a chemical used in weed killing products.but some farmers have used so much glyphosate that a number of kinds of weeds can now resist it. david ervin of portland state university in oregon led the committee that wrote the report. professor ervin says this means that some farmers are again using more poisonous herbicides(除草剂) to control weeds. he says the problem needs immediate attention.earlier this year, a professor at the university of western australia commented on the overuse of glyphosate. stephen powles wrote about it in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences in the united states. he said glyphosate is as important in worldwide food production as penicillin（青霉素）is in medicine for fighting disease. he called for better use of glyphosate-resistant crop technology.64.which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the amount of cropland planted with ge crops increased by seven percent in the us. b. the amount of cropland planted with ge crops decreased in europe.c. american farmers first planted ge crops two decades ago.d. eighty percent of the crops in the us are transgenic.65.in comparison with traditional crops, ge crops_.a. need better soil b. need more glyphosate c. can resist insect attacks better d. are more likely to be bothered by weeds 66.according to david ervin,_. a. to control weeds is quite easy b. glyphosate is of little use to planting c. glyphosate is as important as penicillin d. people should attach great importance to the overuse of herbicides67.the author writes
