18.Joe and Mary Mahogany began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter,Maureen.With a checklist of criteria in hand,the family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools.They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major,one located near a large city,and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
"The safety issue is a big one,"says Joe Mahoney,who quickly discovered he wasn't alone in his worries.On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns,and the same question was always asked:what about crime?But when college officials always gave the same answer-----"That's not a problem here,"-----Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
"No crime whatever?"comments Mahoney today."I just don't buy it."Nor should he:in 1999the U.S.Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000serious crimes on or around our campuses."Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,"says David Nichols,author of Creating a Safe Campus."Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation."
But getting accurate information isn't easy.Colleges must report crime statistics by law,but some hold back for fear of bad publicity,leaving the honest ones looking dangerous."The truth may not always be serious,"warns S.Daniel Carter of Security on Campus,Inc.,the nation's leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents,Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

9.The Mahoganys visited quite a few collegesC.
A.to express the opinions of many parents
B.to check the cost of college education
C.to choose a right one for their daughter
D.to find a right one near a large city
10.It is often different to get correct information on campus crime because some collegesB.
A.receive too many visitors
B.hide the truth of campus crime
C.mirror the rest of the nation
D.have too many watchdog groups
11.The underlined word"buy"in the third paragraph meansB.
A.mind
B.believe
C.admit
D.expect
12.What is the text mainly about?A.
A.Concerns about kids'campus safety
B.Crimes on or around campuscs
C.effective solutions to campus crime
D.Exact campus crime statistics.

6.The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.
The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle,pigs and goats are safe to eat.An F.D.A.official called them"as safe to eat as the food we eat every day."And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖),the agency says,their offspring(后代) are safe to eat as well.But research on cloned sheep is limited.So the F.D.A.proposes (提议) that sheep clones not be used for human food.
The United States this year could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals.First,however,the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents.On December 28th the F.D.A.released a long report,called a draft risk assessment,along with two policy documents.
The agency says it must receive comments by April second.The F.D.A.seemed ready to act several years ago,but an advisory committee called for more research.
For now,the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.
Clones are still rare.They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.
The F.D.A.says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves,but from their sexually reproduced offspring.It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.
Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals.But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.
Cloning differs from genetic engineering.A cell taken from a so-called donor animals is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory.Next,the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫)of a female animal.If the process is successful,the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

10.Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time.I spent three busy days in the capital of Italy,seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations.There were a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹)from its distant past.These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country.The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating.You can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life.I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures(雕塑).The best part of the visit was,without doubt,the Sistine Chapel Ceiling,painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo.It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome,there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality.I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region,like pasta with tomato,onion and bacon.I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques(精品店)but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range!It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a Christmas market,where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
