15、istoric importance,” said Sally Cheshire, chairwoman of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). “Im sure patients will be really pleased by what weve decided today.”But some scientists have questioned the ethics of the technique, saying it could open the door to genetically-modified

16、(转基因) designer babies.The HFEA must approve every clinic and every patient before the procedure can take place. Three-person babies have been allowed only in cases where the risk of a child developing mitochondrial disease is very high.Prof Mary Herbert, from the Newcastle Fertility Centre, said, “I

33、 Myersdorf is not satisfied with the FlashBattery.23（8分） While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing e

34、vidence.For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposes eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared a

35、ngry.Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. Thats because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.After some training like how to recognize small differences like th

36、e wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.They al

37、so found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dog

38、s had such a good time playing the computer game That scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touch-screen models we

39、re all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.1、How did the scientists conduct the experiment?ABy leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.BBy mixing the sel

But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?Its difficult to look back on ones own childhood without some element of nostalgia (怀旧的). I have four brothers

43、 and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them. Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as prov

44、iders either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is

45、the feeling that there just isnt time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home,

46、 inside. More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer an

47、d video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony (令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young peop

48、le today.Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.1、What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?ATo get peoples attention and lead in the top

49、icBTo gather peoples opinions on childhoodCTo show who the passage is written forDTo compare the childhood lives of two generations2、Which is NOT a reason for the changes?AFamilies are smaller todayBParents worried too much about their childrenCToys can be played by children alone at homeDIts too da

Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a lit

52、tle more concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffee-growing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.Coffee A

53、rabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.In Central America the average temperature has risen by a

54、 full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by l. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.Indeed, studies claim

55、 that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations(海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.Coffee is the second most traded goods by

56、 developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies.Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee;their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and pri

57、ces rise.As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive,and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will co
