2.Every year some 15,000 animals-mostly mice-are shipped into the UK for research.Some leading scientists are warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the number of animals being brought into Britain for research.All ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing animals intended for research laboratories.Lord Drayson,who was a minister under the last Labour government,said animal research was"regrettably"necessary and that people would"suffer and die"without it."If we do want to have access to medicines,and I believe that we do-in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses.And so unfortunately we do have to do this."
However,Alistair Currie from People,for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing."More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people,"he said.They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective."
The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR (public relations).He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies,which appear to have had an effect.
But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and the transpon companies to stand up to the campaigners.Professor Robin Lovell-Badge,a geneticist at me National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR),told the BBC it was important that scientists were able to import animals,so they could work together with colleagues abroad.Dominic Wells of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) said,"The problem is that they can't be put in a suitable transport."
63.Now animal rights campaigners are trying to affect importing animals byD.
A.finding alternatives to animal testing B.creating bad public relations
C.taking direct action against labs D.stopping transport animals to UK
64.According to Lord Drayson,importing animals isA

65.Who is against importing animals for research?B
A.Alistair Currie form PETA. B.Tom Fielden from the BBC.
C.Robin Lovell-Badge from the NIMR. D.Dominic Wells from the RVC.
66.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A

Although many companies offer tuition repayment,most companies only repay employees for classes that are(41)Gto their position.This is a very limiting policy.A company that repays employees for all college credit courses-whether job related or not-offers a service not only to the employees,but to the entire company.
One good reason for giving employees (42)Ctuition repayment is that it shows the company's commitment to its employees.In today's economy,where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable,it is important for a company to(43)Kto its employees that it cares.The best way to do this is with concrete(44)Ain them.In turn,this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee (45)E.A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money (46)Fby having employees stay with the company longer.It will reduce employee turnover,because even employees who don't take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares (47)Bto pay for their education.Most importantly,the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees.Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their (48)D,more often than not,the employee will stay with the company.
And even if employees do leave after graduation,it generally takes several years to complete any degree program.Thus,even if the employee leaves upon graduating,throughout those years,the employer will have a more sophisticated,more intelligent,and therefore more valuable and productive employee.And,if the employee stays,that education will(49)Hbenefit the company:Not only is the employee more educated,but now that employee can be (50)Jso the company doesn't have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside.Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well.Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer's part,it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.
