　　In October, 1961, at Crowley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio, an old, deaf gentleman named William E．Hoy stood up to throw out the first ball of the World Series．Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired(退休)from professional baseball 58 years earlier．However, he had been an outstanding player and the deaf community still talks about him and his years in baseball．William E．Hoy was born in Houckstown, Ohio, on May 23, 1862．He became deaf when he was two years old．He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the Deaf．After graduation, he started playing semi-pro baseball while working as a shoemaker．

　　Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh(Wisconsin)of the Northwestern League．In 1888, he started as an outfielder with the old Washington Senators．His small stature and speed made him an outstanding base runner．He was very good at stealing bases during his career．In the 1888 major league season, he stole 82 bases．He was also the Senators’ leading hitter in 1888．Hoy threw right-handed and tatted left-handed．On June 19, 1889, he threw out three batters at the plate from his outfield position．

　　The arm signals used by umpires(裁判)today to show balls and strikes, and his left arm to signal that it was a ball．

　　For many years, people talked about Hoy’s last ball game．He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League．It was a memorable game because Hoy made an unusual play which won the game．It was a very foggy night and, therefore, very hard to see the ball．In the ninth inning, with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out．Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the pennant(锦旗)for the year．

　　Hoy married Anna Marie Lowery．The Hoys had many fiends．Since they could not hear a doorbell or a knock on the door, Hoy put a baseball in a groove(槽)by the door bell．The pulling of the bell knocked the ball onto the floor．The vibrations announced the visitor．

　　After he retired, Hoy stayed busy．He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years．He also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches．Until a few years before his death, he took 4 and 10 mile walks several mornings a week．On December 15, 1961, William Hoy died at the age of 99．

(1)

Researchers at the University of Bedforshire have developed a new technique for powering electronic device（装置）. The system, developed by Professor Ben Allen at the Centre for Wireless Research, uses radio（无线电） waves as power.
Believed to be a world first, the team claims it could eventually eliminate (or get rid of )the need for conventional batteries. The university has now filed a patent application to secure the only rights to the technique.
Professor Allen and his team have created a system to use medium wave frequencies to replace batteries in small everyday devices like clocks and remote controls.
The new technique uses the “waste” energy of radio waves and has been developed as part of the university’s research into “power harvesting”. Professor Allen said that as radio waves have energy―like light waves, sound waves or wind waves―then, in theory, these waves could be used to create power.
“The emerging（新兴的）area of power harvesting technology promises to reduce our reliance on conventional batteries,” he said. “It’s really exciting way of taking power from sources other than what we would normally think of.”
The team is now waiting for the results of the patent application to secure recognition of the technique. Professor Allen said that the team’s achievements had all been done in their “spare time”. “Our next stage is to try and raise some real funds so that we can take this work forward and make a working prototype（模型）and maybe partner up with the right people and take this to a full product in due course,” he said.
“Power harvesting has a really important part in our future, because, just in this country, we dispose of somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 tonnes of batteries in landfill（垃圾填理）sites every single year－that is toxic chemicals going into the ground.”
He added that development of the product could also be “commercially beneficial”. “The market for this is several billion pounds. We’ve seen market predictions for 2020 which have these kinds of figures, so there’s a lot of commercial potential in this area,” he said.
Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Bedfordshire, Professor Carsten Maple, said, “This type of work is a reflection of the university’s growing reputation and experience in conducting innovative（创新的）research.”

Public caught up in argument over safety of genetically modified or simply GM products, report Zhang Lei and Zhong Nan in Beijing.

More than 300 people gathered to enjoy a bowl of porridge made from genetically modified food on Saturday, an attempt to quell public fears about the safety of the product.

The first China Golden Rice Tasting Event was held at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, Hubei province, sparking another round in the nationwide debate about the safety of GM crops, often called "Frankenfood" by opponents.

Similar events have been held in more than 28 cities since May, the university said.

Both the pro and anti camps have posted conflicting comments on the Internet, with each providing evidence to back up their beliefs, but the exchanges are becoming increasingly bitter.

Jiang Tao, a senior engineer at the Center for Agricultural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is in favor of GM foods, was annoyed about what he called "amateurs" spreading rumors.

"Just look at the people who are opposed to GM foods; can you find anyone from a related field in the scientific community?" he asked. Jiang also accused the anti-GM lobby of repeatedly using outdated or inaccurate data to support an "incorrect" stance.

Chen Yunfa, an independent researcher into the Yangtze River Delta economy, recently wrote a commentary on the Internet news portal Eastday in which he criticized the actions of the 61 scientists, saying they had gone "beyond their proper duty". He suggested that large multinational corporations might be behind the letter and similar incidents, prompted by a desire to freeze China's patent hybrid rice technology out of the market.

To support his contentions, Chen said that GM rice, first produced by scientists in the US, still hasn't gained official approval from the US government. However, the US authorities have actually granted licenses to six varieties of GM rice. The commercial planting of two varieties - anti-herbicide (BAR) transgenic rice LL RICE 06 and LL RICE 62 - produced by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis, was approved in 1999 and a license for cultivation for edible use was granted in 2000.

The public outcry for GM labeling and boycotting has hindered the advancement of the technology. Concern about GM foods has been fueled by studies like the one published by French professor Gilles-Eric Séralini in September 2012. Séralini claimed that his research involving rats proved that the GM corn fed to them caused tumor growth. Furthermore, there is growing concern that the pesticides(杀虫剂) used on GMOs(转基因作物)are contributing to the decline of the world’s honey bee population, leading to honey bee deaths by infecting the brains of the insects with toxins. Therefore, some experts recommend the labeling of non-GM foods so that consumers can make that decision without a regulatory burden being placed on GMOs.

However, we should be cautious about anything that may risk humans’ life. Only time will tell.

1.Why did more than 300 people enjoy porridge made from genetically modified food?

A. To show evidence that GM products are dangerous.

B. To support that the first China Golden Rice Tasting is safe.

C. To rid public of fears and worries about the safety of GM foods.

D. To draw public’s attention to nationwide planting of GM products.

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Those who are for GM products and those who are against keep arguing fiercely by holding conferences.

B. People are failing to show evidence to support their pros and cons, although they hold a firm belief of their own.

C. Some people think those against GM foods have a good knowledge of GM technology and are spreading rumors.

D. GM food may be just a way for some multinational corporations to drive China’s patent hybrid rice out of the market.

3.What can we infer from the second paragraph from bottom?

A. The public advocated that GM products should be labeled clearly.

B. Séralini claimed that his research proved the GM corn caused rats to grow faster.

C. Many honey bees have died because they were fed with GM corn.

D. There should be some restrictions on GM products’ selling.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards GM products?

A. Supportive.                         B. Suspicious.                  C. Indifferent.               D. Critical.
