As the summer time approaches,more and more commercials and advertisements can be seen on the mass media encouraging students to join English study tours abroad. The purpose of these tours is to provide students with an opportunity to learn English in a native speaking environment and use English in real situations. Parents always believe that their children will automatically speak good English after attending these study tours. However,for me,as an English major and former participant of many English study tours,I find these summer tours ineffective.

Parents who send their children abroad for a summer to study English usually believe that the native speaking environment,including the courses,teachers,and host families,can help their children to learn English better. This might be true if the students really study hard and they really get an all-English environment. But the fact is that,most of the time,the tour part is more important than the study part. Although these tours take place in foreign countries,students are rarely exposed in an all-English environment. You will find that,in the morning classes,Taiwanese students would like to stick together and speak Chinese with each other,even though there are some students from other countries. In the afternoon,the students go on a sightseeing excursion with their companions from Taiwan; they speak Chinese,of course. In the evening,when students return to the host families,they would stay in their room and share the day with their roommate,another Taiwanese student. People who speak the same language with you are like a log in the ocean when living in a foreign country where you can not express your?self well,so that you would naturally stick with them. This is especially true with children. An?other unrealistic expectation parents have for these tours is that the experience of living abroad can make their children more independent and mature. However,maturity does not come over?night. It takes time and practice. The most important of all is that they need a good mentor. None of these exist in the study tours.

( ) 1. What's the author's attitude towards the English study tours abroad?

A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Neutral.

( ) 2. Which of the following is the most important thing for children who study in an Eng?lish environment according to the writer?

A. Host families. B. Hard work. C. Courses. D. Teachers.

( ) 3. Why are students rarely exposed in an all-English environment?

A. The study tour itself makes it less important for students to expose themselves in an all-English environment.

B. Staying with the students from the same country makes study easy abroad.

C. They only want to stay with their English teachers.

D. They are not sure about their spoken English.

( ) 4. What makes parents send their children to join English study tours abroad according to the text?

A. Parents' misunderstanding to the ads.

B. Parents' lack of information.

C. Parents' unrealistic expectation.

D. Parents' social experience.

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s,genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would,is it the best solution?

Despite what it promises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact studies show that the most widely grown GM crop,GM soybeans,has suf?fered reduced productivity. For instance,a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

Something else,however,has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive,GM com?panies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂) .On the contrary,US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall in?crease in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. "The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true," said Bill Christison,President of the US National Farm Coalition.

At the same lime,the authors of the book World Hunger; Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by pro?duction,but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile,the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food,according to a 2008 World Bank report.

As a matter of fact,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank re?port concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger,because better ways out are available,among which "green" fanning is supposed to be the first choice.
