One husband said, “ Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) . We simply couldnt afford it.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters, transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less. Economic factors are usually the first to be _2_, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the _3_ needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings. There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel _4_ if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction. From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now _5_ more. I wasnt mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girls eyes.A. needs B. survive C. regret D. emotional E. considered F. perceive G. imprisoned H. mature Key:BEDGC 2Every fruit, vegetable, grain and domestic animals we see today is the result of genetic modification. Biotechnology refines and _1_ methods that produce new plants and animals.Biotechnology has a long history of use in food _2_ and processing. For ten thousand years fermentation, a form of biotechnology has been used to produce wine, beer and bread. Selective _3_ of animals such as horses and dogs has been going on for centuries. The same thing has been done in farming. People have created many local varieties of essential foods such as rice, corn and wheat with improved yields _4_ their wild ancestors.Today, through newer biotechnology and _5_ engineering, scientists can do even more. They can move one gene, the inherited instruction for specific traits, from organism to another and omit the _6_ traits. This enables food producers to obtain animal and crop improvements in a much more precise, controlled and predictable _7_.The potential benefits of biotechnology are enormous. Food producers can use new biotechnology to _8_ new products with desirable characteristics. These include characteristics such as disease-and drought-resistant plants, leaner meat and enhanced flavor and nutritional _9_ of foods. This technology has also been used to develop life-saving vaccines, insulin, cancer _10_ and other pharmaceuticals (医药品) to improve quality of life._11_, plant breeders were greatly limited. They were limited to _12_Traits within the same botanical (植物的) family, such as wheat to wheat. Only pollen (花粉) from a compatible parent wheat could be used to fertilize the seed-producing plant. The _13_ of traits possible from this combination was limited by these genetic compatibility barriers. Today, gene _14_ does not have the same limitations. It is not confined within cross-breeding species _15_ can cross genetic barriers such as corn to tomato. A gene for a _16_ trait can be identified and transferred from many sources.The news doesnt stop there, however. The work of researchers in this _17_ had even broader applications. Modern techniques have been used to change a trait in its native plant _18_. For example a tomato transfer can control softening and ripening of the fruit. Another _19_ is the transfer of modified forms of plant virus genes to plants to create a plant with complete resistance to that virus. It is easy to see how the use of new scientific techniques _20_ much wider application of natures diversity. And its exciting to see how it is improving our lives. 1.
