The volume of rose imports has already 1 some domestic growers. Now, 2 fighting overseas 3 , the Johnsons are trying to work with them. “We have a few bulk distribution centers where we sell some imported roses,” Johnson says, “We may also _4_our business to 5 the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers.” As a replacement for lost rose sales, the Johnsons and other growers also are starting to sell other types of flowers.U.S growers got a break this Valentines Day; a 6 frost killed 25% of Colombias rose crop. But next year, the weather may not be on their side. “Its hard to operate a business on someone elses 7 .” Johnson says.All the changes are making some in the rose business 8 the good old days, when neighborhood flower shops arranged and 9 every Valentines Day bundle of flowers. “It generates attention,” says one rose seller. “ 10 steps out of the elevator, goes into the office, and puts roses on a typists desk.

More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers, the biggest day of the year for the nations rose industry. For rose growers, those who _3_ roses, and those who sell, this years _4_ 7% increase in sales will be sweeter than a 5-pound box of chocolate candy. ”Red roses say I love you,” says Gerald Hager, executive director of a marketing research institute. “Its going to _5_ the most popular flower because love never goes out of _6_ Yes, a rose is a rose is a rose. _7_selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now _8_ convenience to the busy. And discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money.Roses Only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was _9_ from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the 90s. _10_ today, prices range from 56 for a dozen short-stems to $19 for a dozen of its longest stems. The company, which has its headquarters in New York, has three stores in New York, one in Canada and five in Spain.

Word last week that a scientist _1_ Ian Wilmut had _2_ cloning an adult mammal - an achievement long thought impossible - caught the imagination of everyone. The laboratory _3_ that produced Dolly, an unremarkable-looking sheep, theoretically would work for humans as well. A world with human clones was suddenly within _4_. It was science _5_ coming to life.The human cloning _6_ that experts consider most frequently _7_ two broad categories: 1) parents who want to clone a child, 8 to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace that child, and 2) adults who for 9 reasons might want to clone themselves.Will it be possible to clone the 10 ?1.A)called B)namedC)addressedD)entitled2.A)succeededB)exceededC)succeeded inD)exceeded in3.A)processB)procedureC)progressD)program4.A)rangeB)achievementC)extendD)reach5.A)storyB)taleC)fractionD)fiction6.A)conditionsB)situationsC)positionsD)institutions7.A)fall inB)fall intoC)fall toD)fall out8.A)eitherB)neitherC)bothD)each9.A)plenty ofB)a great deal ofC)amount ofD)a variety of10.A)deathB)dyingC)deadD)diedIdentical genes dont produce identical people, as anyone who knows a set of twins can tell you. 1 , twins are more alike than clones would be, _2_they have at least shared the same environment within the mother, are usually _3_in the same family, and so forth. Parents could clone a second child who _4_their first in appearance, but all the 5 suggests the two would have different personalities. Twins separates at birth do sometimes share personality characteristics in a cloned son or daughter would only be reminders of the child who was lost,Even 6 of biology, a clone would not be identical to the “master copy”. The clones sells, for example, would have energy processing machinery that came from the egg, not from the person who was cloned. But most of the physical differences between originals and copies are so 7 that detection of them would 8 a sophisticated laboratory. The one possible exception is bearing children.

What elseLast weeks news that scientists had cloned a sheep sent academics and the public into a panic at the _1_ that humans might be next. Thats an understandable _2_. Cloning is a radical challenge to the most fundamental laws of biology, so its reasonable to be concerned that it might be a preface to activities that will threaten human society and dignity. _3_ much of the moral opposition seems also to _4_ out of an automatic, unthinking disgust. This _5_ to consider the issue logically makes it hard for even trained scientists and other experts to see the matter clearly. _6_ human cloning might not offer great benefits to humanity ,no one has yet made a convincing case that it would do any real harm, either. Many of the _7_warnings of science-fiction concerning the prospect of human cloning _8_ , upon reflection, to be wildly improbable. Theres the fear, for instance, that parents might clone a child for the _9_ of having “ surplus parts” _10_ the original child needs an organ transplant. But parents of identical twins dont view one child as an organ farm for the other.

Picking her up in my arms _3_ a child, I turn her on her side. Naked, _4_ a light hospital gown, she is so very small and light _5_ she seems like a victim of some terrible _6_. I removed the lid from a jar of skin cream and put some on the _7_ of my hand. Carefully, to avoid _8_ her, I rub cream into the yellow skin, which rolls freely over the bones, feeling perfectly the _9_ of each bone in the back. Placing a pillow between her legs, I notice that these too are ice cold, and _10_ I run my hand up over her knees do I feel any of the life-giving warmth of blood.1.A)aboveB)aheadC)previousD)preceding2.A)preparingB)providingC)supplyingD)offering3.A)likeB)asC)such asD)as if4.A)exceptB)except forC)besidesD)in addition to5.A)asB)whatC)thatD)which6.A)hungerB)famineC)starvationD)poverty7.A)fingerB)thumbC)fistD)palm8.A)hurtingB)damagingC)spoilingD)injuring9.A)outlineB)frameC)structureD)skeleton10.A)not onlyB)onlyC)not untilD)untilWhen I am finished, I pull a chair up beside the bed to face her and, taking her free hand between mine, again notice the long, thin fingers. Graceful. I wonder briefly if she has any family, and I see that there are 1 flowers, nor pictures of rainbows and butterflies drawn by any children, nor cards. There is no 2 in the room 3 that this is a person who is loved. 4 she is a mind reader, Mrs. Clark answers my thoughts and quickly tells me, “I sent my family home tonight didnt want them to see ” Having 5 her last ounce of strength she cannot go on, but I have understood what she has done. Not knowing what to say, I say nothing. Again she seems to sense my thoughts, “You stay ”Time seems to stand still. In the total 6 , I feel my own pulse 7 and hear my breathing as it begins to match hers, breath for uneven breath.

In 5 percent of cases where such a judgment cannot immediately be _2_ . the proper decision will become apparent after a few days or weeks of basic treatment, observing the patients progress.Let me sound one note of warning. Neither families nor doctors like to make life-death decisions. But there is no question that if _3_ party _4_ bringing in a so-called” _5_” third party ( usually some representative of the state or legal profession ), _6_ will the process take longer, in many instances it will be more arbitrary and less sympathetic.What we are trying to avoid is neutrality; the only people with any qualification to decide are those _7_ know the patient intimately and can put his or her _8_ first. If theres one place from which the _9_ of lawyers and government officials should be barred, its from the rooms of _10_ ill patients.1.A)symptomaticB)sympatheticC)symbolicD)synthetic2.A)arrivedB)gotC)reachedD)obtained3.A)eitherB)bothC)oneD)neither4.A)insist ofB)insist onC)persist ofD)persist on5.A)numeralB)neutralC)mutualD)mature6.A)as ifB)even ifC)not untilD)not only7.A)whoB)theyC)peopleD)whom8.A)benefitsB)profitsC)gainsD)interests9.A)interruptionB)disturbanceC)troubleD)interference10.A)criticallyB)obviouslyC)actuallyD)eventually“The average woman takes in only two thirds of the recommended daily _1_ for iron,” notes another expert. “For a woman who already has a poor iron _2_ , any additional iron loss from exercise may be enough to tip her over the edge into a more serious deficiency,” notes the expert. Exercise can _3_iron loss through _4_mechanisms. Some iron is lost in sweat, and, for unknown reasons, intense endurance exercise is sometimes _5_ with bleeding of the digestive system. Athletes in high-impact sports such as running may also lose iron through a phenomenon where small blood vessels in the feet leak blood.There are three stages of iron deficiency. The first and most common is having low iron _6_, a condition that _7_has no symptoms. Fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear in the second stage of deficiency, when not enough iron is present to form the molecules of blood protein that _8_oxygen to the working muscles. In the third and final stage, people often feel weak, tired, and _9_ - and exercise performance is severely _10_ .1.A)permissionB)marginC)allowanceD)admission2.A)statusB)statueC)studioD)state3.A)result inB)result fromC)come inD)come from4.A)a lot ofB)a variety ofC)plenty of D)a series of 5.A)connectedB)linkedC)attachedD)associated6.A)storagesB)reservesC)percentagesD)amounts7.A)onlyB)convenientlyC)conventionallyD)typically8.A)sendB)transportC)deliverD)transmit9.A)short of breathB)Lack of breathC)out of breathD)in one breath10.A)compromisedB)composedC)compoundD)complicatedHowever, most people with low iron reserves dont know they have a 1 , because traditional methods of calculating the amount of iron in blood (by checking levels of the blood protein that 2 oxygen) are not 3 , Beard states. 4 , its important to check levels of a different compound, which 5 the amount of storage of iron in the blood. While active, child-bearing age women are most 6 to have low iron stores, he notes, “Men are not safe, especially if they dont eat meat and have a high level of 7 activity.” (An 8 15 percent of male long distance runners have low iron stores.) Beard and other experts say its 9 for people in these groups to have a 10 blood test to check blood iron reserves.1. A). defect B). deficiency C). defence D). deficit 2.
