digits each of which is one of ten numerals providing 100 billion unique combinations Ge netic material however uses a quaternary rather than a denary coding system In theory it would only be necessary to sample 15 of those letters to create one billio n unique codes In practice however the characteristics of DNA mean that 15 letters are not enoug h Unlike the arbitrary numbers of a

and details to support your answer I disagree that television has helped improved standards of education for a number of reasons The first and probably the most important reason is the programming Around the world it is movies sit com soap operas pop music and talk shows whi ch dominate TV screens There may be nothing wrong with these and they are cer tainly popular with audiences but the content of these programs has not helped to make people better educated Typical television programs have also had a bad effect on viewers Attention span that is on how long they can concentrate Most TV programs do not require much concentration and young viewers especially get used to this Education on the oth er hand does require concentration and young people find this increasingly difficult Another characteristic of television is that it encourages a passive attitude in viewer s instead of an active one Most popular TV programs encourage an uncritical respo nse but education requires you to think about what is presented to you to react t o it and in some way to make use of it In addition passive TV watching has often taken the place of more active pursuits such as reading music playing board game s and conversation all of which are more educational than a typical evening of TV Finally it seems to be true that television makes it difficult for viewers especially y oung ones to distinguish properly between fact and fiction This confusion which is really another kind of uncritical response again works against educational principles Television has done many good things It entertains lonely old and sick people it certainly helps countries economies by selling products and can be very informative by bringing news from around the locality the country and the world into peoples homes However by making people passive and uncritical television has a negative effect on education 范文范文 2 There have been many arguments in recent years whether nuclear energy should b e used to generate electricity Do you think nuclear energy should or should not be used for this purpose in your country Which side do you agree with Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer Before giving my opinion I think it is important to look at the arguments on both sides People who support using nuclear energy to produce electricity usually give s ome or all of the following reasons The first argument is that it is potentially chea per than any other way The second is that other ways of producing electricity requ ire nonrenewable resources such as coal and oil and one day these will be used u p This they say is not the case if we use nuclear energy The third reason is mo re of a political one some countries do not have the raw materials such as coal oil or water which are needed to generate electricity and so they have to depend t oo much on other countries People who attack using nuclear energy for generating electricity generally say that it is too dangerous both now and in the future They point to severe nuclear accid ents such as Chernobyl and some others in the United States and say that the ef fects are so bad that the risk of an accident even if the risk is very small is not worthwhile They also often say that there will be problems in the future of how to store the dangerous waste from old nuclear power stations which can be deadly fo r thousands of years As far as my own country is concerned I believe there are two main reasons why it should not try to use nuclear energy at this time Firstly we have plenty of oil a nd hydroelectric energy from which to generate electricity Secondly if countries like the United States and Russia can suffer nuclear accidents it would be very difficult to guarantee safety in my country Furthermore we have many better and more ur gent things to do with the money 常用词语与表达法常用词语与表达法 1 Introductory generally speaking generally as a general rule comparatively spe aking comparatively in general in a sense in one
