consumers share the same attitudes toward animal cloning, which can be seen in the latest research from sean fox, kansas state university professor. much of foxs research focuses on consumers attitudes toward food safety. he worked with shonda anderson, a recent masters graduate, to explore consumers attitudes toward cloned animals.“were interested in finding out how different groups of consumers react to products from cloned animals,” fox said. “were also interested in how those reactions differed between countries.”fox and anderson surveyed kansas state undergraduates in agriculture, english and sociology classes. they also surveyed agriculture students at university college dublin in ireland and ecole superieure dagriculture in purpan, france. the survey asked participants (参与者) about their possibility of buying and eating meat and other products from cloned animals.results showed that americans were more accepting of cloned products than europeans. other findings include: students in ireland and france were less likely to consume cloned products than kansas-state students. at kansas state, sociology and english students were less likely to consume cloned products than agriculture students. participants were more likely to consume cloned products after learning that cloned animal products have no safety risk.more of the european students were concerned about cloning from a moral perspective, while the american students were more concerned about food safety. the strength of opposition to cloning was much stronger from those who morally opposed cloning than from those who opposed it for food safety concerns. the survey also found that women were less likely to buy cloned products, and people familiar with science were more accepting of cloned products.“results suggest that a large number of people do have concerns about cloning from a moral perspective,” fox said. “itll be important if these products come to market because we would expect to see a large number of people avoiding them.”63. the participants in sean foxs survey were mainly _.a. colleagues of sean foxb. students in three different placesc. consumers interested

precious stone that is believed to have been mined in golconda, india. the french jeweler jean-baptiste tavernier bought a 112-carat (克拉) stone, which he brought home to france. historians believe that king louis xiv purchased the diamond in 1668. the diamond was eventually recut, and a large part of it, called the french blue, disappeared in a robbery in 1792 during the french revolution. no one knows for certain the path of the diamond after the robbery. in 1812, however, it was reported that a london diamond seller had a large blue diamond. experts believed that it was the french blue

who later had it set in a necklace. in 1949, after mrs. mcleans death, the hope diamond was sold to a well-known jeweler named harry winston. winston exhibited the famous diamond at many events, but
