Nowadays,genetically modified ( GM,转基因) food is more and more familiar to most people around the world. Genes are a mysterious field in science. Some people think GM food is good for humans;others don't think so. Let's read about their opinions.

Wang Zhu,14, from Jiangsu:

   I don't think GM food is bad for people. If we grow GM food,we will have much more food. There are now thousands of people suffering (忍受) from hunger around the world. Lack of food is the basic problem. Growing GM food can help improve the quality of life.

Liu Shenbo,15, from Shanghai:

   GM food is good. But we need to control it. Now nobody knows what it would do to our health. If we eat too much GM food,we might regret it. I think we should do more experiments before widely using it. That's safe for us and the next generation.

Qin Le,14, from Shandong:

    GM food should not be used at all. It changes the genes of grain (谷物) . All plants grow by the law of nature. If we change it,it's like we are against nature. Nothing good could happen. So we should do some research about how to change the earth for growing crops,but not change the crops themselves. That should be the right way to solve the food problem.

41. Not all the people think GM food is good for humans.

42. The 15-year-old Wang Zhu thinks growing GM food can help solve the problem of lack of food.

43. Liu Shenbo thinks GM food can help improve the quality of life.

45. The student from Shanghai thinks doing more experiments before widely using GM food is safe for us.


   

任务型阅读:阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各 题。(共5小题,计10分)

   After a busy morning at work,lunchtime gives me a chance to do many things,such as exercising,reading or watching TV. One cultural difference I've noticed between Britain and China is what we do during lunchtime.

    In China,people use lunchtime to rest and take a nap (小睡). I often see office workers rest their heads at their desks. Sometimes,I see workers in restaurants also taking short naps.

    However in Britain,this activity is quite uncommon. British students usually have a one-hour lunch break. Instead of napping,they fill that time by playing sports or talking with friendAnd many workers in Britain don't get the chance to nap. They generally have short lunch breaks — between 30 minutes to an hour. So there is not enough time to have a good nap. Because of the short breaks,it is common for people to work through lunch,and have food at their desks.

    Yet in China,workers have longer lunch breaks,giving them a better chance to sleep. And interestingly,it's not only Chinese who enjoy napping. Spain is famous for their afternoon naps,which are called siestas. It usually lasts arou neb two hours!
