19、oup have developed geically engineered fruit trees that produ _ real meat! Fruit from the new Meat Tree, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef! Our trees _y sound like something out of a

20、scien _ fiction movie, but its really true, declares Dr. Vin _nt, director of the UMA Group, which created the a _zing trees.Vegetarians have been plaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat on _ in a while.

21、ake and eat in too. Although its taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is _. We take the genes from cattle and put them into _lls of grape-fruit trees, Dr.Vin _nt says.

22、ried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree, says Londoner Mark, who took part in a taste-test.

28、ys formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devi _s covering the o _ans. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian(平民的) scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global work of underwater listening system bui

29、lt over the _ny years to track the ships of potential enemies. Geologists announ _d at a news conferen _ re _ntly that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar stu _s.

30、 tracking o _an currents and measuring changes in o _an and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second -slower than through land but faster than through air.

36、ch went from the weather and quickly varied into the struggles of a cab drivers life. What do you do besides your job? he asked curiously.

37、ings in life, but Ive realized that I dont need all that to keep me happy. If I _ tomorrow, I want to go out knowing that Ive _de a few people _ile. The young cab driver, perhaps in his late thirties, looked back through the sliding glass as if extending his hand for a hand shake-Man, it is ni _ to

38、meet you. Although we were strangers, both of us felt deeply connected as hu _n beings. And by now, 7 minutes into our ride, we were on a first-name basis. He even spelled his name for me: H-a-k-e-e-m. Hakeem and I talked a bit about _ acts of generosity, the power of a pay-it-for-ward mindset and h

39、ow that can promote trust and connection in our munities. He understood the idea, but it seemed very abstract and foreign to him. We arrived at Penn Station and traded e- _il addresses after I paid my ride fare. As I was heading out, I turn to him and said, Hakeem, heres a 20. Whenever you feel like

40、 it, you give a ride to people and _ them that someone before them has paid for their fare. See what happens. Hearing this, Hakeem was visibly moved. Really? Are you sure? 63.

46、the people we love are moving away and dying, our bo _s are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

54、he pla _, or lights programmed by an absent regulator(控制器)? Traffic lights exist as a cure for a _n- _de problem-the priority rule(优先通行法则). This rule gives superior rights on _in-road traffic at the expense of minor-road traffic and pedestrians. To interrupt the priority streams, lights are needed.
