Scientists are working to develop crop plants that can reduce the amount of water used for agriculture．Almost sixty percent of the world’s fresh water taken from rivers, lakes and other water resources go toward watering fields．

Thomas Carter is a plant scientist and he leads a group of researchers．They have been using traditional methods to develop and test soybeans（大豆）that can grow well under dry conditions．Thomas started working on soybeans in 1981．His research has taken him to as far as China, where soybeans have been grown for thousands of years．Farmers in the United States, however, have grown soybeans for only about a century．Thomas says the soybeans they grow are genetically（基因方面）similar．More differences could protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production．Those changes include water shortages which could increase because of global warming．

Thomas and his members are working on a soybean seed collection, a collection of genetic material passed from one generation to the next．They studied more than two thousand five hundred examples from the collection which are from the home of soybeans, Asia．They searched for good seeds that could survive during hot and dry summers in the United States．Unfortunately, they found only five after a few days’ hard work．But what pleases them much is that these seeds produce four to eight ones more than normal soybeans under dry conditions．The yield（产量）depends on location and the environment．Scientists will also work on other crops that either use less water or use it better．

68．Thomas Carter and his research group do research on soybeans to ．

A．have them survive a sharp climate change

B．make them grow well under dry conditions

C．plant them all around the world

D．increase crop production and quality

69．According to the passage, climate changes can ．

A．reduce crop yield B．protect crops

C．destroy seeds D．change the genes of crops

70．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A．Thomas and his group have made some achievements．

B．People know a little about the relationship between water and crops．

C．Seed collections depend on climate and the environment．

D．Some crops can grow well during cold and dry winters．

71．The passage is probably taken from ．

A．a report on how to save water B．a book on the environment

C．a science magazine D．an ad for agricultural products

DID you get a flu shot this year? For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US is recommending that all children aged from 6 months to 18 years receive the flu vaccine．

Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses．A weakened form of the germ （微生物） is introduced into the body．The body makes special substances called antibodies to fight the germs．If the actual germs were to attack, the antibodies would fight it．

Because there are many kinds of flu viruses, scientists must create a new vaccine formula （方程式） each year．Researchers must make a prediction．

It is like forecasting the weather．Sometimes they are right on, and sometimes they are off．But even when the vaccine does not closely match circulating flu types, it can make the illness less serious．

"The flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio （小儿麻痹症） vaccine or the measles vaccine," says Dr William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine．"It's not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine．"

But a flu vaccine doesn't work for everyone．There are certain people who should be careful about taking it．

Because the vaccine is produced in eggs, those who are allergic （过敏的） to eggs should not take it．If you have a fever, you should wait until you recover．

Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot．Scientists say that it is not possible, because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated．But some minor side effects such as low-grade fever and body ache could occur．If they do, they begin soon after the shot and usually last only one to two days．

Did you know?

Smallpox was the first disease people tried to prevent by putting a virus into a healthy person．In 1796, English scientist Edward Jenner placed some infected material under a boy's skin．

64．By saying "It's not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine", the author means the flu vaccine ．

A．does help to make illness less serious

B．is not effective, compared with the polio and measles vaccines

C．is not as effective as the polio and measles vaccines

D．is quite good because it works for everyone

65．We can infer from the passage that ．

A．those who are allergic to eggs should not take flu vaccine

B．you should go to a doctor if you have a fever or body ache after taking the flu vaccine

C．all the flu vaccines are not effective for everyone

D．it is possible that some people might get the flu from the flu shot

66．It is not advisable for everyone to take flu vaccine because ．

A．there are many kinds of virus

B．the flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio and measles vaccines

C．it has some minor side-effects

D．someone may be allergic to it

67．What topic will be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．How the smallpox vaccine worked on the boy．

B．The side-effects of smallpox vaccine．

C．The origin of the flu vaccine．

D．What kind of people should be careful about taking smallpox vaccine．
